snazzed Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Hi 15-lisa-newbie: No, Shotokan likes to keep their power "grounded". No flips or handsprings... hardly any jumping even. A little bouncing here and there, but that's about it. Seriously, though, there is a jump or two in some of the Kata but flipping and such won't be taught. Good style though. I actually got my start in Karate at the UVic Shotokan club. If you don't mind me asking, where are you studying and who is your Sensei? Thanks snazzed 4yr Shotokan, 2yr Hapkido, 1mth Chito-Ryu.The Hapkido place devolved into a McDojo during my stay."Quick to judge, quick to anger, slow to understand."
