Your style??

What style of karate do you take and what do you like about it??


I train in Kimura Shukokai (Tani-Ha Shito Ryu).
I like it because it focuses on powerful strikes and kicks. it uses alot of body mechanics and physics.

Right now I practice Shotokai Karate. I like it because we practice correct body mechanics alot (and I mean alot). I've been to class about 14 times and I've so far only learned 3 attacks. Like I said, we spend alot of time doing drills for distancing and body mechanics. What I've learned so far helps me not only with striking but also with my jujitsu.

Sounds alot like Shukokai Crossbolt. Sounds pretty intense.

So much politics in karate...
Its really neat. It's definitely not your typical American karate club.

Haha! the karate kid... hahaha! I loved that! Anywho... I used to practice Go-Kan-Ryu karate... you know that one that really sucks and everyone loves to rip on?? Yeah that one... But hey! It did help because even though it aint the best karate style in the world, it give you the gift of strong basics. I quit it after a while when i relised "I aint gonna get any better at fighting through this style!" Also when I was little I did some Shotokan Karate I think... I practice it alone by myself now. Yeah yeah, I know you need somone to correct you, but whatever, I will use my super awesome, mega cool, hell awkward karate on my friend when I fight him, see whats what. It should be good.
