why different styles - different people learning and interpreting different and similar ideas and then evolving them separatly...or what Steve said :wink:

what is the basic in all styles - A boot to the head hurts as much from Shotokan as it does from shito ryu....or what steve said :wink:

I still say it is just basically that different people put their personal stamp on their styles of training. Like Bruce Lee said, "we all have two arms and two legs" but it is how we select to use them!

what James.J said

especially the two arms two leg thing - with certain exceptions

for example Owen Murray - had two legs - one arm and about half of the other one (after industrial accident) but still made it to the KUGB National squad and was/is a robust karateka!

In high school I wrestled a kid named George Inch (Not making up the name) Who did not have legs, he won the division championships four years running! (Pardon the pun :oops:

)....I feel like such and ass!!!!

James are they not two people who should make us feel - when we do not get it right - 'what's your excuse?' bloody marvellous IMHO!

As the father of a overly tallented but disabled Child, I have the honor and pleasure of feeling like "whats your excuse" pretty much every day! :lol:

am sure I trined with owen.nice man great karate.yip am sure it was him he came to scotland once if Im right.
and i would agrea with shotokan101 its stance.

by **fujicolt** » Wed Dec 31, 2008 10:29 pm

chinti - that is simply cos Shotokan101 only has visual experience of other styles - as he admits he has limited experience outside of shotokan - go train with them (other styles) and you'll realise it is FAR more than stance - i can guarantee this!

Steve

I do have a few family members who do other styles of karate.

Alan :oops:

Alan - it do not need to be a month - go talk to them (you'll find them human and OK) then go along when you can whilst sticking to you core style

tis great - trust me!

I have had the great pleasure of training many times in the past with Owen, a great character and dedicated karate-ka. Owen would remove his prosthetic hand but leave the part this fitted onto over his forearm. i have carried the bruises from this on more than one occasion after kumite.

Owen Murray was an inspiration to many of us back in the day - and are you aware that he was also a very respected Doorman who ran some of the roughest clubs in a brilliant - but can be rough - City? - He was also a mad crazy VERY good company Chap outside of the Dojo - always a character and still is from what i hear

On the tangent of amputees and martial arts: one can't discuss the issue without mentioning Kyle Maynard.

As to the original question, there is more than one martial art because there's more than one way to be good at something. Different training methodologies, different strategies, different techniques, different body mechanics work better for different people. Shotokan is just one answer for each of those out of many possible answers. And different martial arts can differ in each of those four categories.
