On Okinwawa today it is different than everywhere.
Classes can be up to 3 hours of crude, hard sweating, militeristic.
People not there from the outside would find this regimented training repetitious and boring.
Belts/grading would not be a first thought or desire. |
I have never studied in Okinawa I have just studied styles that come from there.
Do they not train as hard on the mainland?
is rank more important to karateka on the mainland?
Is the karate different?, stances,basic tecniques and such.
if so how much different?
