I understand when people see Shotokan as a “sport style” due to what this style has evolved into in many dojos. I teach Shotokan and our school participates little to no tournaments but our students do extremely well if the do choose to compete. At our dojo we try to hold true to the Okinawan mind set in which Karate is a “martial art” and not a “sport” seeing as how Okinawa is where Shotokan was born. If practiced correctly Shotokan is an excellent tool for developing an ever improving character and technique that can be devastating when used correctly.
