kittyblue-eyes Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 I am a student of Shotokan, but realize like all MA's it has both strengths and weaknesses. Any ideas on which MA is a good compliment to Shotokan? Thank you.
The BB of C Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 If you can describe for me it's strenths and weaknesses (I know nothing about Shotokan), then I can recommend a complimentary style.
Zorbasan Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 im currently doing shotokan and ICHF Hapkido.Shotokan is great for striking moves, but i like the locks and throws of the hapkido. Now you use head for something other than target.
bushido_man96 Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 Each teacher is different, but Shotokan is primarily a striking art. Therefore, to help to round out your game a bit more, you may look into some grappling style, like Judo or even Wrestling. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
Isshinryufanatic Posted December 26, 2007 Posted December 26, 2007 Just a foot note to what bushido_man said. Taking wrestling with a striking art is a great circle. Its great defencive practicality and wrestling is great fun.
