i don't know anything about karate but i want to learn it absolutly !! but... in some video we can see that the karateka can't hit the head and here, he can... can you tell me why? sorry for my english :/ i'm french if anyone can answer me in french ;)

It depends on the style of karate and form of the competition... In Shorin-Ryu you can hit the head, but you can't hurt your opponent. You must control your technique... you can find informations of Shorin-Ryu here: oshukai.fr (in french:) )

@shobayashi thanks for the website in french ;) !

in my city I have the choice between 2 style of karate: shotokan karate and shorin ryu karate . I don't know wich choose.... I like kata but I think I really prefer fight ! :) So I don't know which one is the best for combat :/

and when you say that you must control your technique... it means that you can't really hit your opponent?

thanks for your help and again: sorry for my english ^^'

@Sanchyu92 Sometimes it really doesn't depends from style of karate.... Teacher is most important:)-You should go and try both schools:) And about control - I said about competition - and it depends of the rules....In Shorin-Ryu competition you can't "really" (means hard) hit your oponent in the head.Legs and corpse is not so dangerous so you can punch it really hard...

@Sanchyu92

I was trained in jka-iskf shotokan karate.....if you do it right, get a solid basic foundation, shotokan is a great first style to study.

@Sanchyu92

My experience is that shorin ryu puts more emphasis on sparring than shotokan, but maybe that depends on the teacher.

You should go to both places a couple of time and watch to make up your mind.

Both are well-known styles anyway.

Oh, that's really cool. I don't really know about martial arts, but I check on Sensei Nohara

@007Mechanix Hey I am not on the light side either. It is a lot of hard work but well worth it. I am 5'1-" at 240 pounds so I am no where near fit lol. We also study Kobayashi Shorin Ryu. My Sensei learned from Sensei Nohara from Okinawa Japan.
