Welcome.<br>Having had to change schools twice, I
can appreciate what you are going through.<br>I
suspect the hardest thing a person can do is change
styles such that s/he has to learn new kata. This can
hold one back in rank for awhile. Especially when you
are younger and male, that can be a real trial.<br>Do
you live in a city large enough that you might
possibly find a school that practices the same style?<br>I
have talked to some people who are unwilling to drive
a great distance to study under someone. By "great
distance" I mean fifteen minutes further from home after
work.<br>I have to drive 45 minutes from home to reach my
school. It has always been that way. I combine the trip
with other errands. That way, it takes less
time.<br>How is your belt ranking system? What rank is purple
belt?<br>Pat
