Applied Shotokan

Applied Shotokan is for the pragmatic karateka. Modern karate has evolved into a "punch/kick" martial art meant for recreation and sport. It is far removed from the self defense roots of its Okinawan ancestry. This site is dedicated to bringing back the old ways of karate. "On Ko Chi Shin"-Study the old to understand the new.
