Hi all,
It is a very open ended topic, but one I am curious to get the ideas of forum members on.
I have heard a lot about the direction that 'Shotokan' has moved in since it's originator brought it to Japan.
Has it improved? is it wasted or corrupted? is it a viable modern Budo?
a waste of time?
Does Karate need to be practiced with an emphasis on traditional conditioning equipment to remain a viable self defence tool?
many thanks in advance for your thoughts.
