GOLDTHORPE SHOTOKAN KARATE CLUB

Shotokan is a type of karate characterised by long, deep stances in its forms (kata) and a more dynamic sparring (Kumite) element.

While the deep stances of the forms are intended to give students strong legs, balance and stability, the sparring training offers a more fluid style of applied fighting technique.

Shotokan students also learn the basics of grappling like trips and throws. Keep reading this article to learn more about Shotokan karate. We will explore its history, pros, and cons of training, and much more about this unique karate style.
