    Down-ward-Dog

    My brother, how are you? Not only that, but I seem to remember people having rank that hadn't thrown a kick since the turn of the century. Go figure.

    Sanchin Breathing

    We used to do it in my dojo, but the majority of Goju schools I've seen don't. I personally like the Higaonna version.

    Fencing Footwork

    Ed, there is a lot of value in fencing. Bruce Lee wrote about that thirty years ago. I watched some fencing during the Olympic games and appreciate their ability to get from point A to B in a very...

    Cross Training

    The point I was trying to make is jujitsu was already in Japan. Some jujitsu practitioners actually wanted to learn karate, but probably not for the grappling, being that, for example, the founder of...

    Re: Re: Ground Nihanchi

    Understood Robert, however my point is that no karate ka will ever be proficient in grappling or nage waza by kata or bunkai as they would be in either judo or jujitsu. That's why in the mma world,...

    similarities

    Hey Mike, if they (koei-kan) do leg kicks, then what makes it different? It has been argued to me by some that Ashihara is very similar to Kyokushin. By the looks of what you wrote, it seems that...

    Maddog, I also agree. Hoosain Narker does incorporate TKD forms as well as some Goju and Shotokan forms in his carriculum. I've always thought that static forms were exactly what Ashihara was getting...
