Had some Master come round earlier and I've decided to take up Karate! :eek:

 

Go Kan Ryu - or GKR, is a style of Karate mixing features of Shotokan and Goju Ryu together into one style. The name roughly translates to "The Hard and Complete System of the Way of the Empty Hand".

 

So excited but scared at the same time...... anyone do any martial arts on here?

^^ looks similar to kick boxing?

 

 

yes ..but in kickboxing ..you just punch and kick ...!!!!

 

muay thai you can use your knee's and elbows and you can holed the other person around the neck and knee the FOOK out of them ..

 

that's why its eight limbs fighting ....

 

will show you some at Billing ....;)..

It depends on what style of Kickboxing to be honest. I always did competitions through the full contact route where anything goes! Including knees, elbows, shins etc. We also taught strangle holds, neck breaks and many weapon defenses. So quite a broad style.

 

In comparison I found the semi contact or point scoring competitions were more difficult, as you have to show control and only strike where permitted.

 

Still, it was all good fun and when I eventually have some little ones, it'll be the first thing they learn after walking :D
