ChristianeHigashi

I do a very similar style! Higashi. I've also been to a load of open competitions and have been up agains some shotokan teams. The contact is minimal really.. you won;t come away with a busted up face.. if you do thats just bad luck! face contact usually means being disqualified.. you'll be safe!
