What Karate style(s) do you train ?

[shanny_kimura]

Shotokan Karate. Kyokushin is calling me, although it is a bit too agressive for me, I think

Noo! Don't say that. They will make sure to get you ready before Kumite and the conditioning stuff. Just go your own pace I recommend Kuokushinkai big time !!!

Well, I really appreciate your opinion, but the fact is that I've never gone into real-contact kumite, just pointing combat like we do on Shotokan, and I guess Kyokushin is precisely about that: CONTACT and KO and so on

Maybe I didn't explain myself properly: "aggresive" is not the right word.

I previously trained in Shuri-Ryu, which is an eclectic karate style founded in the 1950's by Robert Trias. I still practice the kata that I learned in that system, and the basics gave me a solid base to work from, but I no longer practice the short forms (ippon kumite kata, taezu naru waza, and kihon kumite kata). I currently train in Shorin-Ryu, as part of the Shorinkan organization headed by Shugoro Nakazato. My sensei is very open-minded, though, and has experience in several other systems, so at this point I mostly just practice a more general "karate" and we call it Shorin-Ryu because we still teach the standards for that system.

Karate-wise I mainly study JKA shotokan. Although when I was 17 in Japan I also trained ashihara karate for about two months.

Wado Ryu, although to me, karate is just karate, no matter what fancy japanese sounding words you put before it.

It stand for extra old.

I'm not very old, I just have an early date of birth - something 50's.
