Those who have practiced a traditional style of karate (Shorin-ryu, Shotokan, Wado-ryu and Goju-ryu) know that Lyoto uses several techniques to approach and attack of Shotokan. Besides the classic forms of shirk and bases of struggle. However, he has sparrings of MMA fighters to test and prove that the learned.
one of these days, i'd like to see one of these JKA masters fight in the UFC. would they do it? how much time would they put into training in grappling and their "ground game"? and who would teach them? so far, Lyoto Machida is the only JKA Shotokan karateka to enter mixed martial arts, and he's been very successful, but he's also studied Brazilian Jujitsu and wrestling. and he's said he's had to adapt Karate to MMA.
