shanny_kimura Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 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 !!!

oitsuki Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 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.Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wastelander Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 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.

Shizentai Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Karate-wise I mainly study JKA shotokan. Although when I was 17 in Japan I also trained ashihara karate for about two months. "My work itself is my best signature."-Kawai Kanjiro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
