Hello, My name is chris and i would just like to say hello to the community.

I mainly do hand on hand combat styles (judo/akido)

I'm looking for some good starters and a better understanding without doing the tutorial (Reading helps me more than doing)

Welcome to Toribash
If you need a school try joining the clan called [bleu] because they can help you when you have problems in-game

The registration thread was closed, i checked in earlier today.

welcome to the community.

If you need help just check look around the Forums, there are several Organizations and Players who want to help new people.
Furthermore there are classes in the Unibash section, you might try that ;)

greetz,
