My basic practice was at shotokai (a soft karate style) but that was not a problem for me to became Greek champion twice, member of the greek national teem with many iternational figths

Karate is not a DOGMA my dear friends!!!

If you wont to use your energy is not necessary to be hard with your body. You have to be well trained, you have to create a good muscle accembly, knowing the lines and areas of attaks and deffenses and incorporated by armonic respiration, with a hight level of concentration.My way is not the only way to exprim a kata... you can expiriment different ways of practice, serching, analise...

"Look at shotokans hip vibration rooted stances and stable body!" You can not use your hips like this in a figth, this is only an exercise for the basic techniks. Some times i use this kind of training for stengthing BUT THIS IS NOT A NATURAL WAY OF MOVING and in Shotokai practice the most important element is "to be natural".

@olev456

[magumelo]

@olev456 I agree

[MultiZON123]

Can someone please explain the idea of shotokai??? It just seems sluggish and very weak... Look at shotokans hip vibration rooted stances and stable body! Most styles of karate seem to have this use... Shotokai on the other hand is completely different!!!!
