Silverunicorn Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Hi. I would like to hear your opinions on karate What's the biggest difference between karate and other martial arts? If you chose to take karate among all the martial arts out there, why? If you think karate is too broad to discuss, you can talk about the best karate style in your opinion.

TJS Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 I think a full contact style of karate like Kyokushin or one of its off-shoots would be the only stlye I would ever pursue. it has been the only one to prove itself against other top fighters.

karate_woman Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 I don't think karate is unique, actually. I think it compliments other martial arts rather nicely. The more martial arts I've been exposed to, the more I believe this is so. The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. -Lao-Tse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramymensa Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 Karate uniqueness for me is that I love this stuff. I've been training like a mad and I feel it's the best for me. I love everything about it, kata, kihon, kumite. I'm into it because it suits me best. I enjoy doing a very low stance, looking how my kick is going, moving very fast in kumite, trying to understand, learn and improvise. It's elegant, beautiful, hard at the same time, it emphasizes perfection (I'm a perfectionist), gives me the thrill and so on. I can't wait to be in my dojo and after the class I wish there were even more It's the love of my life and it's given me all I expected. For me Karate is unique World Shotokan Karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
