username9 Posted October 27, 2004 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 Cool - thanks for your reply hongkong - another branch of Shukokai I feel. But it all came from Sensei Tani and Sensei Kimura. If you wanna check out more about Shukokai Karate Union then visit : http://www.sku.org.uk So what grade are you HongKong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aefibird Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Is Shukokai karate linked to Tenshinkan karate? I'd heard that the two are similar. "Was it really worth it?

Lord Apocalypse Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Unsure about this as i'v never heard of tenshinkan karate, however perhaps they are similar as most karate styles are similar and generally completely unrecognisable rom their original okinawan origins.

username9 Posted October 29, 2004 Author Share Posted October 29, 2004 Not related as far as I know - certainly not the traditional way. I'll see what I can find some time soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username9 Posted November 2, 2004 Author Share Posted November 2, 2004 Is Shukokai karate linked to Tenshinkan karate? I'd heard that the two are similar. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with Shukokai as far as I can tell! It does have a slight similarity in that they both progressed from tradiotional but it seems Tenshinkan is more of a modern-mongrel style (as in adapts all the time)! Looks pretty good though!

Rig Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Hi - I'm also a Shukokai guy - I train with Malcolm Hudson part of the Shukokai Karate Association http://nav.to/ska -- Righttps://www.AtherstoneKarate.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username9 Posted November 3, 2004 Author Share Posted November 3, 2004 Interesting mate - but the SKA site seems to ignore the SKF? Doe they still exist! I train with the SKU which looks to be original Shukokai in UK! (Not that I am dissing others!) Just shows that fool that seemed to be putting Shukokai down just cos they hadn't heard of it. it is a powerful and dynamic style - whoop *! hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username9 Posted March 14, 2005 Author Share Posted March 14, 2005 Just thought I'd drag this post back out of the depths to see if there are any more Shukokai Practioners out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meguro Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 I studied under Sensei Shigeru Kimura in the US many years ago as a kid. At the time he had two deshi, Mac, an American, and Jeff, a Brit. The deshi wore black dogi, very cool I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
