Shotokan karate is a powerful effective martial art. At my dojo we stay true to funakoshi’s original view and teachings and I can assure the author of this site that it is in no way a sport style of karate. To say that ‘point sparring’ is central to the art is hilarious as I have never in my 5 years of karate, participated in such a thing. Some of my fellow students who have trained in other forms of karate comment on how effective and tough shotokan is.
