I chose Isshinryu after a couple of years in Aikido. Although I still
practice my Aikido, I found Isshinryu much more applicable in a
shorter time to the street. I also enjoyed the contact kumite without
points which I again found more applicable to the street. What has
kept me going is that there is just so much to learn and practice.
Everytime I look, there is something else in the kata. And if you
read some of the history and look at some of the origins, there is
more to do. I truly believe that there is enough here for a lifetime.
