I want to get back into martial arts. What karate style should i take? Could Karate beat any other style. I want to learn Can somebody give me some help?

No style is better than another it is the martial artist him self that counts not the style. Any style can beat another.

this is a good site for comparing various karate styles.

Karate is a poor style to pick for self defence in my opinion.

Any style can win if you have a great fighter doing it. Or should I say any style can loose if you have a poor fighter using it.

 

Sort of like great players make great coaches.

If fighting is your goal, I reccomend "gun-fu" and a good attorney. If you are interested in becoming a martial artist, any style will do.

i hear karate focuses more on kata and not much fighting or conditioning. i suppose it really depends on the dojo though.

 

if your goal is to be able to fight and beat other styles, may i suggest muay thai or BJJ?

Most systems of karate will have a focus on kata but that don't mean they don't teach you how to fight or should I say defend yourself.

Why is Karate bad for self defence Bon?

Lack of sparring, too much emphasis placed on katas ..

Hey Bon, Isnt sparring just a glorified game of tag ??? Realistically it can teach distance, timing and positioning. IMO sparring will not really teach you self defence either. I believe it takes a combination of sparring, kata, heavy bag work and a bit of grappling with an understanding of body mechanics.
