Shotokan_Fighter

shotokan= power

if i do get beat that wont bother me, its not like if i loose im gona stop training, or think shotokan is useless, what beats me will make me stronger, what i mean by that is i will train harder, find out what i did that made me loose, if i do loose so be it, it wont stop me in any form, i will still continue my shotokan karate training.

i dont know, but id hit her hard ebouph so she would stop fighting. nothing to serious.

a shotokan karate ka would have the advantage over a kickboxer, shotokan is more direct and hits harder, shotoan has throws, ect. that gives it the advantage.

i think shotokan will be more effective in the street, but in the ring MT may have the advantage, id rally like to sparr a MT fighter just to see how they are.

i never said it was the fastest, i said i was fast, what do you mean easy to see coming, yeah right man, my attacks come fast, stong and are not easy to see coming, either you never been or fought a shotokan karate ka or you just dont know what your talking about, beacuse they are not easy to see coming trust me i know.

me i really coud care less about any style besised shotokan karate, i train in shotokan and thats it, thats what im concentrated on i dont care much for other styles, i know i shouldnt be that way, but taht is what make ma a good fighter, always thinking shotokan, i know there are styles out there that may be faster and more powerfull, but untill i stop training in shotokan ill worry about that, but im not gonna stop training so my heart in soul is with shotokan karate, i wil lexperience other styles when i go around the world to other big MA tournements and fight other styles.

yes karate is effective, shotokan i know it is iv had to use it in a fight, and i ended the fight faster than it started.

if we fought in our low stances we would get demolished by any fighter, we train in low stance so we get leg strength, but the only time we do is it we drop into them while we spar, like areverse puch we would start on higher stance then drop into a lower stance so we have the power and a solid form.

krives i know what im talking about, i know my style, shotoakn is what i do and i know the style.

yeah but im just gonna stick with shotokan and master it like i have said before, i am one sided and im gonna keep it that way, out shotokan school does full contact once in a great while so i dont see much of a difference from kyokushin karate, compared to shotokan karate.

ok i was thinking about when i get my black belt i might try to find a kyokushin karate school, do you guys think that that would be a good idea?? i dont really want to mix but yet i do want to mix these 2 styles. what do you guys think?

sai fights that would hurt and suck to be knocked out that way.

i agree with all of you, im just glad that no one is saying kata is useless beacuse it isnt, katat is a must for every karate ka.

yeah you have to relax so your punch is fluid,fast and powerfull.

i like them both, but makiwara for my reverse punch, heavy bag for multiple techniques.

me as a shotokan fighter, im not slow and shotokan karate isnt slow, maybe some ppl who are in shotokan karate are slower, but im not and most ppl that im around in my class are not either. i know the art isint slow. shotokan is the power house of karate, then speed = power. so you need speed in order to develope the power.

im not even thinking about going to a different art untill i get my black belt in shotokan karate, and i dont know if i will then. to me sticking with shotokan and learning the art to its fullest, by training every day, being determined mentaly and physically. if i were to learn any other art id try kyokushin karate, that is on my mind. but there is no kyokushin karate schools around my town.

yes, i agree with martial law, but you only need to penetrate the body 2 inches to cause damage.

after looking at the site, he does seem to be very good

no i havnt ever been knocked out
