MadMatt Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 G'day guys,Our dojo is pretty full on into tournaments. Our Shihan runs 4 local tournaments a year, we have one state and one National tournament per year and then he runs Ring Karate events (which are Kyokushin rules over 3 or 5 rounds in the ring) twice a year, and it is all about perserverance and learning to train and fight through pain. I spend most of my days limping around and I always have bruises on most main parts of my body. But I'm young and wouldn't have it any other way.Shotokan is a great traditional style and I think the older I get the more I will focus on self defence techniques, and perfecting the kihon and kata of Kyokushin.

MadMatt Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Just wanted to add I always laugh when people bring up the no face punching thing as a disadvantage for the street, and I agree you can just aim a bit higher, we do practice it doing kihon, but who needs to punch to the face when you can break someone's arm with one kick?
