There's only one dojo near me and they train shito ryu

EXACTLY

Kyokushin advanced Kata are from Shurite style like Shotokan... the lower Kata are from Goju Ryu.

there are different techniques being used, as well as a difference in approach to how the Kata is done. Wado Ryu uses a strength and speed approach to figuratively knock down the opponent... Shotokan focuses on "Looking good" and doing the kata with extra attention on how to do the techniques properly (Making sure stances are done with proper measurements, making sure that your punches are at the correct height etc) ... Shito Ryu takes a peaceful approach and doesn't really focus on strength or harming anyone, it's more of an art that focuses on using karate almost like a meditation.

Yep

This is more down to how the individuals are performing the kata. Wado tends to value attack and defense equally, maintaining a balance and also making moves less fancy by cutting out all unnecessary parts to allow easier application in real scenarios. Shotokan attempts to be a lot more offensive and focuses on evasion when fighting as opposed to attacking same time in wado (attacking at the same time as defending) , their katas tend to look a lot fancier and are the nicest to watch: they win competitions. In general wado is more effective for real application and shotokan is more sporty. Never looked at shito ryu in detail so I can't comment on that.

@@foxrestive8285 ye exactly, shoto is more of a show off style, hence why most of their katas look impressive and fast, but in technical matters wado is better cuz it has more emphasis on the natural way of movement. u dont need to be really low on stance to produce power and speed.

Same here. Took me forever to find anybody who'd even heard of it after I moved away.

and i'm still practicing it !

😂

True, that's controle

Wado is tough... Shotokan is cool... Shito is more artsy

it wasn't the stomp of her feet that made the sound but the power of the punch and kick, so his kimono made a sound. By the way I am also a Shotokan karate-do player.

there is only a part of the kata where the stomping of his feet is loud

There are many more differences, but let's try to give you arguments and examples. WADO-RYU The one you can see in this video is Hiroji Fukazawa. This video footage seems to be from late 1990's or early 2000's. So he was filmed after having practised for almost 35-40 years. He was a member of the original Wadokai until master Tatsuo Suzuki created the Wado Kokusai Karate-Do Renmei (Wado International Karate-Do Federation) and so he then joined him. He studied directly under Hironori Otsuka (Wado-ryu founder), under Tatsuo Suzuki, and with Hiroo Mochizuki in France. But as he has a bit derived from what was taught in Wado-ryu Renmei (created by Hironori Otsuka's son, Jiro Otsuka, aka Hironori Otsuka 2nd), he can't be considered as its best successor, due to many Mochizuki's Shotokan additions to his practice. Wado-ryu Renmei has been created to follow Otsuka family's path : Wado-ryu is not Karate, they call it "Jujutsu Kempo" (Hironori Otsuka was already the legitimate heir of Shindo Yoshin-ryu Jujutsu before beginning his Karate Practice). SHOTOKAN This is a mid-grade competitor from JKA Shotokan (Misako Aragaki, 3rd Dan) who officially retired from competition in 2007, and who stopped being a JKA HQ instructor at the same date. She was a Kata competition expert. JKA actually teaches only modern Shotokan. This means it has almost nothing in common with Shotokan-ryu from Gichin Funakoshi. It has lost the meanings of every move, of every technique. JKA Shotokan is now a sport, not a martial art anymore. If you wish to know what is traditional Shotokan, you'll have to learn/watch Tsutomu Oshima or its followers. SHITO-RYU This is a unknown low-grade of Shito-ryu. Shito-ryu's founder, Kenwa Mabuni, studied under the greatest Okinawan Karate practitioners from the 2 main Okinawan styles : Kanryo Higaonna (Naha-te) and Anko Itosu (Shuri-te/Shorin-ryu founder). Anko Itosu was one of the masters of Gichin Funakoshi (Shotokan founder). But Jion is a very old Kata from Tomari-te. Both Gichin Funakoshi and Kenwa Mabuni learnt it from Chotoku Kyan, who also studied under Anko Itosu, but more important : under Kosaku Matsumora, the heir of Tomari-te. Other Katas also come from Tomari-te : Jiin, Jitte, Niseishi, Sochin, Unshu, and a specific versions of Wanshu, Rohai, Chinto and Passai. There are already several versions from more recent schools ("styles" ?), but there is only 1 school left who teaches the original version of Jion. Kyudokan Kobayashi Shorin-ryu is the last school to teach Chatan Yara no Jion (Chatan Yara is considered as the very first master of "Okinawa-te"). There, we have a wrong demonstration, with many issues, and called modern competition "Shito-ryu". It has nothing in common with what was taught to Kenwa Mabuni, the Shito-ryu founder, and you will find many differences with what's in Mabuni's book "Karate Kempo : The art of self defense". The differences go deeper than what you've quoted. Wado-ryu uses lots of "Nagashi", the softer parts of the arms, and focuses on piercings, like if you had a spear or a sword. Deflection is Wado-ryu's main goal. Traditional Shotokan-ryu is basically Shorin-ryu, and traditional Shito-ryu Katas are also Shorin-ryu Katas. As Wado-ryu founder trained under Funakoshi, it should be very similar. But as you want to compare this video editings, let's say they look very different due to their practitioner level, and due to the deviant practices. What you can see in this video are : Wado-ryu from WIKF, modern competition Shotokan from JKA, modern competition Shito-ryu. Nothing in common.

@@Haywood-Jablomie kyokushin is effective.

@@retardedjoe12 funakoshi sensei learned many forms like shuri te naha te etc never shito ryu ... and try to respect seniors .. joking with names are not responsible. When shito ryu formed Funakoshi sensei was 66 years old .. and he introduced his karate to Japan much before . ...

There are no differences. All these were styles where the originators had no name for their styles. It wasn’t until they were invited to Japan that styles were made up. This was all because of a hatred of Chinese martial arts. It was all politics. Until this, karate was known as “Chinese hand”. Or “ Te”.

@@retardedjoe12 i understand that. Even so, i think the shito ryu one was still lacking in her kata.
