My experience with Shotokon competition is the same. It looked like they were doing demoes and such so I assumed the uke was taking a natural fighting stance. When I saw so many taking un-natural fighting stances it threw all kind of alarm bells. And before someone asks, my definition of an un-natural fighting stance is one that practically begs to be run over ( or thrown )or hit in the face.
