DWx Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 I was referring to techniques in isolation from any kata. If you see a Shotokan dude delivering a sidekick, his/hers body is not leaned back like the Korean version. Japanese kicking techniques are much more tight and rushed .So then there is a difference between the two and someone might be interested in learning both styles?

I just attended a Shotokan class in which the instructor taught the students mawashi geri with the instep (!?) during Kihon!!
