| when i was stationed in okinawa i used to observe the ones who train at the airbase gym.....was pretty hard training. I dont know too much about when your out in town besides what my okinawan girlfriend explained to me
cause her uncle practices karate. she said that the training is real rough and hardcore. an like Martialman said ,rank is the last thing on thier minds. its all about training and
a kind of esoterical side to it. cause they do it to also honor thier ancestors who came an trained before them. it falls in line with the "Sosen su Hai" ancestor worship/honor spirituality that they practice.
alot of mainland Japan karate is mcdojo-ish. some good ones to do take up there are Enshin an Kyokushinkai.
