Hey im new here and i was just wondering if anyone has ever heard of Zen Do Kai karate and if anyone practices it. IM interested in the Martial Arts and this is one that has interested me. So if anyone knows anything about it can you please help me
And as if by magic, a link appeared http://www.bobjonesmartialarts.com.au/ZDK Site/Index.htm To quote Han Solo - "I got a bad feeling about this!" I could be wrong, but the claims on his site seem to match those made by other McDojo's (IMO). He could be good, then again he might not be. It also depends if you have a club local to you, and on how good that instructor is. James
certainly not a mcDojo - zen do kai is (or at least WAS, very hardcore) - at least in the higher grades. Bob Jones Zen Do Kai group were originally made up of doormen and security - and it became a prerequisite that anyone blackbelt level - worked on the door of some very tough places - In fact they ended up being the biggest group of security of gigs and clubs and such like in the areas of Oz that they worked in at there peak. look up Nick Hughes' history of zen do kai posts on the geoff thompson forums if they are still up
some anecdotes of bob jones from Nick hughes: http://selfprotection.lightbb.com/viewtopic.forum?t=529
If by Zendokai you mean this http://youtube.com/watch?v=9oQQfht-1TM I command you start training right now. Zendokai is a Daido Juku offshoot and is extremely hardcore. Kyokushin+facepunches+Judo all multiplied by spacehelmet coolness=Greatest Karate Ever!
