Practical Karate, Again

No, I did not end up in jail, but because this blog is about self-protection I thought I might share this video I found on youtube: This guy looks sincere and gives some good advice. I hope none of my readers is committing crimes, but anyway, good advice for anyone about nasty situations. Give it a thought.

Hello everyone. Long time since the last post. I have been busy, but on top of that, no news and no discoveries to talk about... till today! Enter, Koshiki Karate! Koshiki is a full contact style, rooted in traditional Shorinji Ryu Okinawan Karate, that uses intense and deep kata bunkai exploration and later uses it in NHB kumite . How did I find this gem? I was on a family trip in the beautiful Cantabria, north of Spain, and the destiny made me rent a house to a Karate Master, Sensei Juan José Reigadas, who was a wonderful host and was kind enough to notice I was wearing a Kyokushin jacket and invited me to join a class. You can see the helmets (Kudo style) and body shields used for kumite , but the fun part is that is BARE KNUCKLE. Yes, no gloves. Yes, hard plastic masks. Yes, you punch right on the plastic. This is even more exciting than Kyokushin! Few restrictions, no worries about injuring a partner, grabbing is allowed, you can follo...
