a kind of esoterical side to it. cause they do it to also honor thier ancestors who came an trained before them. it falls in line with the "Sosen su Hai" ancestor worship/honor spirituality that they practice.


alot of mainland Japan karate is mcdojo-ish. some good ones to do take up there are Enshin an Kyokushinkai.
Yes, Kobudo from the Shihan Mikio Nishiuchi lineage is also good.
