gronis Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I'm 2nd kyu in Shotokan but have switched to kyokushin over the summer. Due to my previous karate experience they let me skip the beginners class so they don't explain the very basic stuff. Much is similar but I'm wondering if it's important to time the foot and hand to finish at the same time as it is in Shotokan while doing kihon with steps? I seem to have a hard time to manage that with kokutsu dachi and mawashi shuto uke. Am I supposed to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sensei8 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Foot and hand work, imho, doesn't have to always start and end at the same time. Do whatever feels natural within any given situations because situations aren't always the same.I must refer you back to your CI on this matter because the CI is the final authority. **Proof is on the floor!!!

Sure, but there's usually a "correct" way written down somewhere. Not timing them is something that you would get corrected for in JKA Shotokan. Was wondering about if it's a thing in Kyokushin as well. It's very similar but at the same time different from Shotokan kihon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
