WHAT'S KARATEDO SHOTOKAI?
It is not very easy to define the Karatedo Shotokai .
When we read Master Egami's bibliography, we realise what types of thinking has led to the change in Karatedo practicing.
He has developed and perfectioned the techniques especially with his younger disciples.
Master Egami's previous experiences have been through and difficult, not only as for as training itself, but the way he has been praticing them.
We can clearly state that the most peculior thing about Karatedo Shotokai it is the body movement. There is a round movement of the
body, while gesturing is fluid.
Giving the premises that Karatedo Shotokai has always remained the same as it has been coded by his founder Master Funakoshi.
The way it has been expressed from the years has marked its own definition.
This practicing must express power along with fluidity and speed through the extend of the movements.
Nowdays we often hear about the evolution, about that particular sryle, about that certain Master...
I could'nt imagine that Karatedo Shotokai may be the evolution of Karate.
It isn't important to think it this way or believe it, what maters is that each one of us may express his own pratcticing with
sensation and introspection.
