Answer 3

Please diregard iskate.. as he obviously has no clue. First understand their are many forms of karate. The Japanese and hybred style as a general rulw tend to be more sport oriented today. The okinawin styles are more likely to have what you are looking for.

Some Okinawan styles:

Goju-Ryu

Shorin-Ryu

Uechi-Ryu

Isshin-Ryu.

As for finding a good one locate the schools in your area. research the styles they teach, and what they are noted for(IE sport, self defense). There is a good list at www.bullshido.com that tells you how to find a good school and what to avoid. Find a good school, start training, and have fun.
