Thoughts?

Hey guys. I recently spent 5 months creating a project which I have been wanting to make for a while: 8 Kyokushin Karate lesson videos broken down into 6 aspects of kyokushin karate that I believe are important to learn. In my videos I try to not just quickly cover each technique with flashy 10...

Amazing documentary

Okay so as far as I know neither of these guys are grand masters. I don't know how much they train but I have no reason to suspect that they are anything other than average examples of their arts. My question is what do you think about their sparring? How do you rate their tactics and...

Hi everyone, My name is Moshe, I've started practicing Karate with a teacher two month ago. I have a test on Kata Kihon in few weeks, which is pretty easy but I do not understand one thing - how do you determine the direction you turn. I will explain: The first move in the kata is downward...

I have got a question to the community, and hope someone will be able to answer it: Who did coin the term (and when) that Funakoshi Gichin (1868-1957) is the „Father of Modern Karate(do)“? Thank you! Thomas Feldmann, HOPLOblog

I have recently been looking into joining Shotokan Karate and I have previous experience with Shito Ryu Karate. However, what are the differences between styles of Karate? Do they have different strikes, techiniques, grading systems?

Do You think Martial arts creates Violence?

I had ACL reconstruction 5 months ago, so I'm not currently training karate. When I do go back, is there a knee brace that anyone recommends to help protect the graft that works well with karate? Thanks!

I've been practicing karate for some time now and I was wondering why there's so much disrespect for this martial art. I dont understand that I cant talk about Karate casually without getting that awkward look. I mean people practice wrestling and their practically praised for it. I mean I'll be...

I mean like serious.

First of all, I'm not saying he's fake but I came across this video and wanna hear your opinion about it.

Oyama himself wasn't that small and there's footage of him lifting weights. In one of his books he says that lifting weighs is the best way of getting strong for younger people (also that strength is the most important part between strength, speed and technique). Also apparently his mountain...

I’ve only recently started my karate training, earning my 6th kyu, but I have my first dan in tangsoo do and gongkwon yusul and my 2nd dan in TKD. I love using axe kicks in Taekwondo sparring but since transitioning to shotokan karate I notice no one throws it. So really my question is in...
