The Question about mixing Martial Arts Styles.
Tuesday, April 15th, 2008I am interested in receiving opinions on this subject. The school I attend teaches basically Shotokan karate. However, they also incorporate moves from TKD and jujitsu. For example, from the time you join, you learn basic breakfalls and spinning kicks. They also teach self-defense on Saturdays{which I believe is jujitsu). They also do a lot of sparing at Orange and up. Is this mixing of styles common practise?”
At my dojo are sensie teaches us shotokan karate as well as including parts of Kung Fu and Tai Jitsu. Whether it is common place or not i do not know. However every Martial arts dojo i have attended usually has a the odd tai chi class or incoprates something from another martial art.
