Hi all
I practice shotokan, or sort of anyway. I came over as Anglea is a net buddy from karate underground.
I am into bunkai and have hosted Harry Cook and Iain Abernethy last year, hopefully both for return visits this year. Be nice to meet some of you!

Sort of practice Shotokan? Welcome to the site Shotokan is my base style. But I don't call it that anymore as the bunkai, bagwork and kata based sparring is rather different to what most Shotokan schools would recognise. I also don't like the militaristic atmosphere that a lot of Shotokan schools have. |

I also don't like the militaristic atmosphere that a lot of Shotokan schools have. Sounds like a very similar ethos to my club Although we don't do kata based "sparring", keeping the sparring to the Shotokan kumite, and instead having oyo (and pressure testing in the higher grades). Basically people bow to you if they like your posts, and punch you if they don't. (other forums have it as a karma system smite/exalt). It's just a bit of fun, although open to abuse by people with little vendettas. |

I don't like competition based kumite a lot, but then it's my club and I can do as I like Oh I see, that sounds a laugh, thanks Angela! |
