Not a lot of karate here. You can find it, but it's not very common at all. I think it's because it's one of the few Japanese martial arts that Koreans have not yet found a way to claim as their own (which they have already done with Judo and Kendo, believe it or not; even Hapkido is actually a offshoot of Aikido--you won't find much Aikido here, either).

I realize that the kyokushin school of karate was founded by a Korean, but karate is still karate i guess.

Daniel san. You must first wax on wax off before learning Kara-te-do.
