Bl4cKtH0rN Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Olympic Karate, does you like? Olympic Karate was the type that I practiced (Goju-ryu Seigokan) recentimente until having freed my mind and I discovered the traditional karate. the Olympic karate doesn't take a lot in consideration traditions as the katas and the way of struggling are totally different.

tenkamusou Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 vc treinava com a sensei Hisuru? Goju-ryu é tradicional... agora num sei como a seigokan ensina... If you could improve yourself in only three or two months, everybody would be invencible... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
major_motoko Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Olympic karate? First I've heard.

Tibby Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Yeah, TKD and Jud o are the only Olympic Martial Arts. I know they are trying to get a Kata competition into the Olympics, but Olympic Karate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Dragon Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 I dont like Olympic TKD. I think it is rather incomplete and flashy, too much emphasis on competition. It is part of the reason people "think" TKD is just about flashy kicks, when it is not. So recognize or be hospitalized Cuz literally on a scale from one to ten I'm 25.

Guest Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 I like traditional karate. It was created for a purpose and I think that purpose doesn't really exist in "olympic" versions, but it's always fun to go and compete to see what happens. Just remember where your roots are.
