Shotokan close quarter combat

[cross]

Every chamber is an elbow or knee...we train it, we just aren't told we are.

Good point. I suppose that is an example of principle over technique. Which i feel is important has you advance in your training. Alot of the techniques you do in kata and kihon are not always replicated exactly how you practice them, but the principles you learn from doing them can be applied in many different ways.

amen...

never stop training because the more you learn the more applications you find.

As for any karate style, you have to be good at the art. Not knowing what your sparring rules are, such as for age, experience, "knockout", etc, I would think that it is good to teach a well rounded approach to the disipline. I do have one "test" in mind, but I think it is not appropriate for the world to know it.
