I've been training since 1968 and I find your comments to be that of an uninformed beginner.

After reading your post I find it hard to believe that you are a serious practioner of budo. Only a novice would make such an uniformed statement.

30 years Shotokan,Sandan.
20 years Wado Ryu,Shodan
15 years Goju Ryu,Shodan
17 years Bo,Nidan.
Trained under Ochi,Brennan,Asai,Valera, Thompson and many more.
You are always a novice in Karate because you constantly train. So you saying I am a novice is right - but dead wrong regarding my time practising karate. Pair the top kumite practicioners vs the top kata practioners in a fight and the kumite guy will win - execptions granted. If not, why have kumite in the first place?

I don't want to get off on a rant here, but I've also trained with Ochi in 1978,79,80. Your training record is quite impressive. However the only real training you recieved was in Shotokan.
I trained with Nishiyama Sensei since 1983 until his unfortunate demise.
I merely commented because I find you comment to way off base. YOur Idea that Kata is nothing more that light or heavy cardio training couldn;t be farther from the truth. A Kata is a fight with oneself to perfect technique. No more

What technique do you try to perfect with kata? I am sure it is none that you can use in a kumite. Nobody, and I mean nobody becomes a good fighter with kata only - however, you can become an excellent fighter with kumite only.

Kata teaches you nothing that is conducive to fighting. Kata is translated as form - showing best form, not showing best fighting.

And claiming that my shotokan training was the only real training I received - is the air very thin up there on your high horse?

I really wanted to blast after that last comment. However I'm through with it. You have your opinion and I have mine
A good Shotokan instructor could straighten out your training.
If you want to respond go ahead. i'm really bored with this back and forth banter.

Is Hoffman and Butkin still around the DJKB???

Juergen Hoffman ist still around in DJKB coaching the team of Siegburg. Met them a few times in competition, splitt records.
Why could a shotokan instructor straighten me out? Ever heared about Teruo Kono (Wado Ryu) trained under him. And I feel he made me a more rounded Karateka.

Regarding kata:there is no applicable value for kata in a fight.Would be equivalent to let a boxer only shadow box and then sent him into a ring against a real opponent. No one in his right mind would do that.

You're killing me with this Kumite idea of yours. We are just going to have to agree to disagree.
Glad to hear Hoffman is still around. He used to have a mean gyaku tsuki.

As far as the Shotokan remark goes I'm just prodding you. Let it go.

I feel Kumite is a waste of time in traditional karate. Karate Kumite is good when the practitioners have advance to a level of compentency, but most fighters have perverted the art all together.
after 30 years of kata I learn something new ea day
4dventurer (November 25, 2008 at 11:40 pm)
Hoffman, Osterkamp, Glad are still active in Ochi's DJKB.

For me the essence of Karate is Kumite. Most karatekas are unable to defend themselves with what they learn in kata.

I learn more in facing a breathing living opponent/partner instead of an imaginary one.
Only in face-to-face combat/kumite you can find out how good of a karateka you are.

However, Kumite is a "Do" that lots of karateka avoid, because they are afraid to learn something about themselves they rather not.
