NoFear1725681471 Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 First of all - Hello to everyone Well I'm a newbie in this forum and in karate too. I'm 17 and I'm training shidokan karate for only 2 months but I really enjoy it. I know I've started learning it a bit too late but I hope that someday I'll became a great fighter. Anyway... What's your opinion about this style of karate ?

Chirath Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 Excellent style. I like the fact that it uses full contact, Kickboxing and MMA style fighting. Can't go wrong with Shidokan.
June1 Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 Welcome to the forums, [NoFear]! I don't know a thing about shidokan karate, but it sounds similar to shotokan, my style. Do you know if it is?(By the way, you're never too old to start karate training! ) Kool Kiais: ICE! DIE! KITES! DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHH!

Rain Posted May 23, 2005 Posted May 23, 2005 Shidokan is a great style. I don't know if you are familiar with Kyokushin, but Shidokan is actually a derivative of that style. According to the official website, Shidokan is a "combination of Goju-Ryu, Shotokan, Kyokushinkai and Thai Boxing." Shidokan branched out of Kyokushin in 1981 through Yoshiji Soeno. Coincidentally, that is also the same year my dojo branched out of Kyokushin. I personally prefer hard-contact styles like Kyokushin and Muay Thai, as well as certain Kyokushin derivatives. The only Shidokan dojo that I know of in the U.S. is located in Chicago, so it is not well-known in the states. I don't know how it is in Lituania, though, but I'm glad you are enjoying it. Here the link to the official U.S. site for those who are interested: http://www.shidokan.com/index.html "Tigers are quiet and watch everything. They listen and watch. If you train as a tiger -- hard training and body conditioning -- you can always train with tigers. Other tigers will also recognize you and you can train in peace with them. They know who they are and they have nothing to prove. They are at peace." ~Tomoyose Ryuko, 9th dan Uechi Ryu

y2_sub Posted May 26, 2005 Posted May 26, 2005 Shidokan is a great style , I would like to compete by it's rules one day . Since it joins three fighting styles , i assume that competition in it is quite hard , therefore i love it . Moon might shine upon the innocent and the guilty alike
