ever went to a dojo with the answers to all these questions. Look at some dojos, maybe try some out (first lesson is usually free) and see what you like best. Maybe post the websites of your choice(s) on here and we'll take a look. Everything else you will learn at the dojo! P.S. some karate has weapon work, some has not, Wado doesn't traditionally but some Wado teachers do! Go figure. This answer is perfect. Just go, don't worry about doing things right, because you probably won't. That being said, people know this and won't hold it against you for a second. Karate is fun, go do it! This is the strangest thread... the questions you have asked are almost all one of three things: A. Obviously something noone can answer other than the dojo or by going to a trial lesson. B. The equivilent of "How long is a piece of string" C. Totally dependent on more information to provide a useful or accurate answer. D. The dojo would really not expect you to know automatically when you first join and would all be explained to you before it was relevent. E. easily found out by a quick search I'll mark each answer with A, B, C, D or E so you see which catagory your question falls into. Quote: Originally Posted by NotaMA 1.
