Shotokan-kez Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Hi all has anyone ever trained or heard of Shikata Shotokan? This is the style i train in. Our grading system has stripes on the belts. Purple and white stripe, brown one white stripe and brown two white stripes. Does anyone else do a style that has these? We don't have a blue belt either. I did train in Shukokai for a short while but they had white tabs on the ends of the brown belt.It'll be interesting to hear how drifferent styles have different belt systems. Walk away and your always a winner. https://www.shikata-shotokan.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathal Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 I know little, but have heard of it in passing, however our belt system is different. No stripes white, yellow, orange, green, purple x2, brown x3, then black. .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our system it is Brown. .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotokan-kez Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 yeah i'm 3rd kyu, i'm going for 2nd kyu which is a white stripe on the brown belt. My association is ssk shikata shotokan. How did you find bassai dai? I love that kata, but sometimes i get it confused with the moves in heian godan. I have just learnt Jitte but don't know any others yet, do you? Walk away and your always a winner. https://www.shikata-shotokan.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just learnt Jitte but don't know any others yet, do you?In the beginning a I got stuck with a few of the techniques, as I kept going into the Heian Godan, but not so much now. It just took a little practice. .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
