Karate-addict Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 I do traditional Karate-Do. By this I mean we don't do Karate as a sport but as a BuDo. Our primar study is kata and bunkai. hara wo neru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaG Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 We do more traditional karate. We don't really believe in competitions. We mainly concentrate on kata/bunkai/oyo.

cross Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 There are so many ways you can approach karate. Personally i train for self defence and health, while others may just do it to keep fit or look good. At our school we have both competitors and non-competitiors so the training caters for both.

italian_guy Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 We have two different classes one for traditional and another sport style. I do traditional, we do mosly kihon, kata and bunkai on the traditional class but time to time we also point-spar. I think that when my technique will improve I will try also the competitor class sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karate-addict Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 True, but so what? I walk my way and I let them walk theirs. hara wo neru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jade Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 I think this depends alot on the instructor. There are some that like to teach his/her students for the satisfaction to see them do well in torunements and so on.....and there are those who teach karate mostly in a traditional way or at least they try to do it.

jarrettmeyer Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 At our dojo, nightly classes cover technique, forms, and self defense. If you would like to spar, there are optional classes that meet on Friday and Saturday, and I have yet to see Sensai attend one of these classes. It's run by the other brown and black belts. Your belt progression is based on your knowledge, technique, and kata, never your sparring ability.

Shorin Ryuu Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 I'm not really sure what to say, other than "I take traditional karate." This means I don't train in anything that won't help me in a fight. My style is very heavy in striking and close in-fighting, to include grappling. I'm obviously biased, but I think it is the real deal (not casting aspersions about other styles, but I'm just saying this stuff will help you in a street fight).
