Do any one think Shotokan is a good sport to learn?

Question

i was going to learn a new martail art and i happen to come across Shotokan but i wonted to know if it was a good art to learn.

Answer 1

perhaps

Answer 2

Yes shotokan is a great style to learn and I studied it briefly for a short time although its very traditional but on the plus side there is an abundance of books,DVDs etc on it as a source of reference whilst training.

It would be my choice if I was to go back to karate as I studied Shukokai no disrespect to shukokai but I found out after 2years that my instructor was only interested in money,and I realise now in hindsight that he was a complete d**k,and old enough to be my father but in my defence I was young and naive enough to respect/trust my elders due to the age difference  at the time.

Best wishes :)***

Answer 3

i was a blue belt in shotokan, when i moved i no longer took lessons, it is alot of fun and very effective, but i like my swordsmanship more so. lol

Answer 4

Shotokan is a legitimate style and it has a lot of good elements to it.

The challenge is finding a good instructor (or I like to say, "teacher" - it just sounds deeper...).

So, choose the art on the teacher and what you could learn...

Answer 5

Yes!

any martial art can be great, it all depends on quality of teaching though..

if you're really interested in the art, i say you check it out!!

Answer 6

Yes but I prefer my Shotokan Traditional over sport, but it is still ok to learn and fun from what I have seen.

I am just old fashioned and like the traditional aspect rather than sport.  The sport ones are still decent most of them!
