Sphintai Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 I am very interested in Karate, but am unaware of the comparative Karate Styles. I was wondering, if someone could be a help and list some of the more common, bigger styles and forms of Karate and what they incorporate over the others. Thanks for your time, remember, always have a nice day and carry the arts with you always.
Shorinryu Sensei Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 I am very interested in Karate, but am unaware of the comparative Karate Styles. I was wondering, if someone could be a help and list some of the more common, bigger styles and forms of Karate and what they incorporate over the others. Thanks for your time, remember, always have a nice day and carry the arts with you always. Just to give you some idea of the magnitude of the question you're asking, let me change the wording a bit to maybe get it into perspective. I am very interested in Cars, but am unaware of the comparative Car Styles. I was wondering, if someone could be a help and list some of the more common models of Cars and what they incorporate over the others. When you take into account Japanese, Korean, American, French, Swedish, etc "cars", there are so many factors involved. They all have things in common, but also many things that make them unique, as do the various big karate systems. Does that make sense? You're asking a very general and broad question which really is going to be difficult for anybody to answer. My nightly prayer..."Please, just let me win that PowerBall Jackpot just once. I'll prove to you that it won't change me!"
