what?

Oh you are a RPer aren't you?

I call translator on most of it. Or at very least translated by someone else.

Well, be as it may, but you misspelled your own karate-do. It's Kyokushinkai. It's one of the less graceful styles out there, but is unquestionably the most likely to have any real-world use. And while I am one to believe the answer or the truth to all martial arts should be found yourself rather than have someone chew it up for you, I'd say this style comes as close as Karate ever will for the common man. Ironically, it translates into something like "The Ultimate Truth", but I'd say it should rather read "Wikipedia Summary". It's a combination of things that don't combine. The art of effective combat and competitive sports are hardly ever embodied in the same thing. It borrows heavily from Muai Thai boxing but still insist on classic kata structures. For those who don't know what's going on, it's like having the Incredible Hulk take ballet lessons.

While being the dirtiest, strongest and least graceful of all karate styles(imo), it's grading system is still stuck to learning katas by heart. I guess there's no way around that, really, but how little effort is put into bunkai on this down-to-earth style is staggering.


Oh and also, you're missing parts of your application. Please edit your post and fill in the remaining things. The application form is not negotiable.

deluded, I'm pretty sure the traditional "what?...." would have done well here.

I'm all about the overkill.
