Shotakan (spl?). I am orange still because I have a tendency to go for a month or two and then slack off for long periods. This time I am going to stick to it. I really want to get a brown or black belt before I am 30. No matter what else you do to stay in shape it seems like getting back into it still finds those muscles you forgot you had :P This latest slack-off period was about a year :P It comes back pretty fast so I should be ready to advance next time we have testing.

Glad you're getting back into it :) Before I started in Kung Fu, I earned my Black Belt in a style of Tae Kwon Do influenced by Shudokan, which has many parallels with Shotokan though it's a little different in certain specifics. A book on Shotokan I'd highly recommend is Masatoshi Nakayama, Dynamic Karate. Good luck on your next test! What do you have to learn for that?
