Utah Karate Schools Diversifying?
It seems like for years the word Karate has been nearly ubiquitous.
Just as you would make a “Xerox” of something, or go grab a “Coke” (which might well be a Pepsi), or grab any one af several brands of “Kleenex”, so would you look for a “Karate” class for your kids.
There just wasn’t anything else. Not to mention the fact that, by and large, people weren’t educated enough on the topic to know what the other options were, the differences, or that they should even consider looking at other options. This is not to imply that Karate is inherently lacking (as Lyoto Machita has shown us.)
But it is to discuss rather that state of ubiquity is perhaps being a bit challenged. I live in Riverton. I noticed not long agi, that a new Karate school opened up in my area (You can find them here). The even have a great domain name (rivertonKarate.com). But what’s interesting is that they don’t call themselves Riverton Karate. They are “East West MMA.” I found this really interesting. I am curious if we will see more of what had traditionally been Karate classes expand to offer more of an MMA experience.
Obviously this same question holds with all of the styles.
