Drunken Monkey Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 i thought you did shidokan... post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."

Sho-ju Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 Goju/Uechi are a solid, stand your ground and fight style. Shotokan/shorin ryu are a faster attacking style. Kyokushin uses aspects from both so I voted Kyokushin. I teach Shotokan with knock down kyokushin style sparring and hope to use more naha te as my club moves up the ranks. Osu!

Hohan-1 Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 Of all the ryuha, not just ryu, I'd say that the most efficient systems are Matsumura Seito Shorin Ryu, Motobu Ryu (Bugeikan) and Isshin Ryu. I love Uechi Ryu too, but it can be a very "external" internal style. Lots of body hardening and Sanchin, but still, very efficient for Naha-te. Many other ryuha of Shorin require good athleticism and flexibilty. Matsubayashi included. In that instance Higaonna Goju Ryu beats them in efficiency. Efficiency meaning conserved movement, rootedness, economy of motion and realistic street techs. Many Kyokushin (including Enshin, Ashihara and Shidokan), Shotokan and Shorin schools teach a fast, almost kickboxing type of karate. The same for TSD, TKD and Kenpo. Remember this is about efficiency, not efficacy ! Are they somehow intertwined? Hmmmmm.... Traditional=EternalNidan, Hakutsurukan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darce Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 Shotokan, IMAO cause it has so old traditions and stuff. They have still got their philosophy. Shukokai Karate, Orange belt ( 7. kyu) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
