Hi, I know this is really late, and you may have already found the information, but I took Yoshukai karate for two years, and only quit because our school closed down due to lack of students. I had received a second degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do before joining this school, and my instructor would always call TKD fluff. Of course this insulted me, but now I see he was right. TKD is mainly showy, atleast until you get high up and have practiced the moves for many years and can get power behind it, but Yoshukai karate is a solid, practical style. All the techniques are maximum impact, minimal effort. Just watching it you will see the power and energy in it, as compared to the spinning, fancy stuff of TKD (not that that is bad, just unpractical). Yoshukai is not ostentatious, and they taught how to incorporate the elements of karate in bar and street fighting because they realize that that is where you are most likely to fight. I highly recommend this style, and I am searching for a place to continue my training when I go to college in ATL.
