Shotokan Karate
| Shotokan Karate is a Japanese style of martial arts that originated in Okinawa. It is considered a hard style form - meaning techniques are done with power and intensity. However, Shotokan offers very flowing and efficient techniques. This style is good for students who feel they cannot do a lot of fancy techniques or high kicks. The meaning of Shotokan Karate Do: The founder Gichin Funakoshi’s pen name Shoto which means waving pines (as in trees) and kan which is hall. Karate (or Kara-Te) which means empty hand and Do which means way. So the full translation is “Shoto’s hall of the way of the empty hand”. |
