Hi there. Thought I'd say hello as I've started to 'lurk with intent'.
I'm training Karate at a school based in SW UK. Anyone else part of us / them?

| Welcome to the forum. I haven't heard of Doryoku Ryu. What's it like? Does it come from any bigger organization, such as Shotokan, Kyokushin, etc.? |

Welcome to the Forum! we look forward to listening to what you have to say.
I haven't heard of Doryoku-Ryu either, can you tell us a little bit about of its history/background?
As I tried using Detective Google to find out some information, but couldn't dig much up at all unfortunately. Well with the exception of this site: http://www.doryokuryu.com/portal/index.php but doesn't seem to have much information about the style itself.

I'm pretty sure it's roots are in Shotokan, with elements of Goju. I'm only guessing really, from the katas. They are:
Kihon kata
Heian Shodan
Heian Nidan
Gekisai dai ichi
Gekisai dai ni
Chokosen Gekisai
Tekki Shodan
Saifa
Bassai Dai
Tensho
Seiunchin
Sanchin
Shisochin
Empi
I did Wado Ryu when I was a nipper, got my yellow belt but could not keep a temper when I received a whack in competition. So I didn't progress and then didn't really want to go any more.
My sensei is keen on application, seems that way more than theory or classwork. So I'm making more of an effort to learn basics from multiple sources, so I don't slow others down. I'm the lowest grade in the class at the moment, after 5 or 6 joined earlier this year I'm the only one who's stuck to it!
The school has classes all over the south west, gradings are done at regional centres and bigger gradings are done in Plymouth, where the school originated from. Only having had on grading so far I can't really comment much more than that! |

Definitely seems like a blend of Shotokan and Goju from the kata list. |

Yeah it looks like a combination of the Shotokan and Goju-Ryu.
Gekesai Dai Ich & Ni, Saifa, Seeiunchin, Sanchin, Tensho & Shisochin are all Goju-Ryu Kata.
I do find a lot of people tend to quit after 3-4 months because it is either not right for them, no time or not what they expected or even lack of funds. |
