To all: There are quite a few (read hundreds) of "styles" of Karate. In general, most dojo teach what can be considered Karate-jutsu only; while others focus on teaching Karate-do. To further differentiate, or confuse, many Karate styles and dojo teach a traditional form - retaining more focus on historical ideals rather than actual applied combative application. Very few teach what can be considered "Classical" Karate. As I understand, "classical" Karate contains a more comprehensive array of grappling and striking variations then your "traditional" styles. Just my initial $2 worth of comments. I hope that I did not bend anyone's nose too much out of shape. John
