isshinryu5toforever Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 I do both actually as you can see by the fact that I do the sport (Olympic) version of TKD. Actually, I'm just on the university club team. Otherwise all of my training had been traditional until school started. Some of us just so happened to be good at competing as well. So, we'd go to open tournaments. He who knows others is wise.

ShotokanKid Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 We study a lot of kata/ bunkai and forms. We do tournaments but we concentrate more on application, not fancy crowd pleasing moves.

aes Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 We do both, very traditional and tournament. Our tournaments only have traditional katas, so it is only an extension of what we learn in class. 43 Years oldBlue Belt (7th Kyu) Shorin-ryuRoberts Karate
EvilTed Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 Kumite is traditional Sport karate is based upon pads, head gear, pulling punches and point system tournaments. You'll have to ask the shotokan guys about it - I don't do it Osu! ET
