ps1 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I've had experience in Kyokushin, Shorin Ryu and Shotokan. I like them all very much. But I guess I'd rank them this way:1 Shotokan2 Kyokushin3 Shorin RyuI've also studied Shotokan much longer and, therfore, understand it best. Kyokushin longer than Shorin Ryu. I guess that makes me biased also. "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenius." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shui Tora Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 It has to be Shotokan! (I wonder why? )I have tried Kyusho Jitsu which is interesting... Very hurtful if you try it out in practice! But then what is to say that when trying Karate out it too doesn't hurt!

Sohan Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I have studied both Shobayashi Shorin-ryu and Shudokan. I have also studied Tang Soo Do and TKD, though it has been a few years ago. Personally I prefer the Okinawan arts and I prefer Shorin-ryu to Shudokan because it fits my bodytype better. The whipping actions of Shudokan don't work as well with my arm and leg lengths and muscular body.With respect,Sohan "If I cannot become one of extraordinary accomplishment, I will not walk the earth."

Fu Man Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I prefer Isshin-ryu Karate for its in-close, no non-sense fighting techniques. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Fisher Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I also prefer the Okinawan arts. Seijitsu Shin Do is based on Okinawan Karate and Ju Jitsu even though I have practiced Shotokan style karate not straight shotokan I like the more circular movements better and the higher stances.
