Hiya all.
I'm just wondering if some of you ever moved away (in another state), and missed your old dojo/dojang so bad that you wanted to go home (back to where you came from). I mean, I do miss my family a great deal, too. But I also miss my old school. They were like my family, also.

No, but I know some people at my dojang that could move away for far better jobs. They have no commitments apart from their love of their current dojang/dojo. They're staying just to train with us.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I had to change schools because of transportation.

KK75,
What made you move? Was it for school, a job, or just chage of scenary? When you moved was it to be a permanent thing? So long as you keep your ties with your former dojo and train with them every time you visit home, it'll be like you never left.
In the meantime learn all you can from your current dojo and think of them as an extension of your family. I know how this is. When my training buddies from college all went our separate ways, I felt lost for the longest time. Eventually I found things to fill the void such as looking for a job.
After I did that and got settled in, I got the urge to start training again and after looking around my area for the same type of martial arts system and atmosphere I was used to, I decided to join a Shotokan club which was the only thing in existance. Although it was not like what I was used to, it came close in some respects. I made many a good friends, but I still needed something more.
Eventually I sought out the martial arts system where my original training came from, and eventually got many of my old training buddies involved in the very same system. Now even tho we live apart, we actually get together to train, and it's like coming home again.
Well enough of my ramblings and I hope it is of some use!!  |

Pacific.
Thanks I'm visiting "home" in NJ in June, so I'll go train at my old school. That also might make me feel better
I do make the most of my new school. TSD and TKD are very similar (except the forms), so it was easy to ease into it.
Thanks again.

I know exactly what you mean karatekid!
How come you're in another state without your family ?

I'm sure they miss you too though!
It's not so bad when you know someone will be back.. but, when your training buddies don't come to training for a few months and they never told you they weren't coming back, it's a little dissapointing and you can't help but wonder how they are.

Yes I know what you mean Karatekid. It sucks when you got to change locations or go to another club and leave your friends.
