@karatetom1

Kannst du was besseres machen? Ich warte auf dein Video!

[IEKUKATAKA]

Shotokan karate is a sport. Sports are not martial arts. So, if sports are not martial arts then Shotokan is not karate as karate is a martial art. Karate is an Okinawan martial art. To change it substantially and call it karate is simply delusion.

@IEKUKATAKA

Your comment is affected by over-simplification. You apply syllogism to discussion but modern logic moved way beyond Aristotle long time ago!

@IEKUKATAKA well that would mean boxing wrestling sambo thai boxing brazillian jiu jitsu sanda kung fu kick boxing and judo are all not martial arts? so what is an martial art as you seem to know everything?

@TheHailstorm77 You are right but its not completely all Kung Fu they thought each other martial art moves.

[TheHailstorm77]

I don't care what you guys all say but Karate is from Kung Fu origin of Hung Gar. Read the founder of Karate and what it means. Open hand form.

I love shotokan too, but they need more technical skills!

@CentredOne Rotating slightly? It's possible but not desirable. It would take too long. Front kick is not a versatile kick. You would have to rotate and then execute the kick. You've likely been swept by this point. If they shift 90+ degrees you had better have something else in your arsenal.

[CentredOne]

@TKDLION why is rotating slightly not an option?

@ShotokanBleach Exactly pal, but i do love Lyoto Machida :D

[TKDLION]

@CentredOne Front kick is the only one you need? Round house, side, back, low--none of these are needed? What about when your opponent side steps a few degrees?
