ShotokanKid Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 It depends on who it is that is telling the story... I will not say anything about strengths, but I know one thing for certain, Shotokan doesn't grapple, so that would be a weakness(I'm sure some schools do a little bit, but an experienced judo ka could probably easily beat a Shotokan person when the match goes to the floor) "What we do in life, echoes in eternity.""We must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 For as much as I know about Goju, Sanchin kata performed incorrectly over time causes serious health problems and too much emphasis on kotate(sp?). I'm sure there's more... if there's any other Goju karateka reading, I'd be interested to hear what you've got... I'm not really experienced.

Manabimasho1 Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I can honestly say I have no weaknesses regaurding what my style does or doesn't do. I have had compliments and standing elevations from Grandmasters who have more years in Martial Arts then most Masters have been alive. I do Manabi Masho Jujitsu, the only way to describe it would be you have to forget everything you know or thought you knew about fighting, the human body, pressure points, and energy ki /chi. Then you would still have to see us at work. What we do is on our website in the link area titled "what is manabi masho jujitsu? I will say that one thing that makes our style very differnt from other judo or jujitsu styles is that we Train to purposely never go to the ground. Although we are taught hundreds of grappling moves and sacrifice take down moves we are taught to never do them. For those that ask why..........pick a fight in your local club using only wrestling or grappling...........ill mail flowers to your bedside table in the hospital as you slowly recover! =p What i meant by that is grappling is a 1 v 1 art. Unless your in a room or dark alley and its 1 v 1 or in a cage 1 v 1 its ok.........but with witnesses , friends, and other issues its completely bogus in a real bar fight or street fight To become the greatest warrior, one needs to train beyond the physical and into the spiritual becoming supernatural. It is then that the warrior will know that he is indeed not the greatest, but just awakened.https://www.manabimasho.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Warlock Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Not completely bogus. As well, if you do not practice it, you cannot readily defend against it.

I was surprised how easily he was able to win once he got a grip on me, at a distance i won but ive learned how effective it really is!

Menjo Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 really? i know shotokan has techniques that can be used on the ground but i find we dont have speceific things we are told to do, only apply what we know as oppose to jiu-jitsu where they know exactly what to do, iam not talking about shotokan in any bad way though because i take and love it "Time is what we want most, but what we use worst"William Penn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovine king Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Me not being a karate person, i'm not too clued up on the specifics but once, during a "discussion" a kata was taken apart and demonstrated to me as a comparison to how we deal with forms in our respective styles. Pretty much anything I could do chin-na (locks, take downs, joint manipulations)style that was overtly present in the form, he could do from things overtly present in the kata.While it's not as comprehensive as say BJJ in terms of grappling/ground fighting, that's not to say it isn't extensive.It all comes down, according to him, to a too simplistic view to what the kata is; too many people are fixated on only the things that you do in the kata instead of what you can do from the movements shown in it. earth is the asylum of the universe where the inmates have taken over.don't ask stupid questions and you won't get stupid answers.
