I’ve studied shotokan karate for the past 14 1/2 years and recently started teaching for the past year. I have realized that from my instructors way of teaching to his and so on the way has changed.

The previous instructors took great pride in the art and cared nothing of competing, but my instructor loves to compete and he has taken the art and destroyed it with flips and tricks, in competition karate.

He is now the number 1 school in the world but my respect for him has gone, for i was brought up when he cared about the art and now he doesn’t, so i’m taking the art back to the beginning where it was about the tradition and style. I’m pouring my heart into this to try to get it back to the beginning.
