I took Okwinowan( I apologize if that's mispelt) for about 2 years.Shin Ryu Kan Karate. I don't feel that there's a street application. I guess that's like anything take what is benifitful and leave the rest. There is just 2 different mentalitys I will only use what will keep me alive on the street. If your in MMA for sport that's fine just make sure you know the difference. The hip punch is garbage.......If you hit me with hit of course it would hurt your generating the punch from the hip. But that's if you could hit me with it. It's too slow and if you train with it blah blah it may become fast but it will NEVER be as fast as a cross( my infamous knock out punch) for the simple fact of distance covered coming fom the hip roating your fist to the face. instaed of your fist ALREADY being at face level. If you practice any Martal Art I have respect for you but from ny experience Karate isn't cutting it, exception of stiking pressure points. Tigers tooth Pheonix eye One knuckle punch whatever you call it it gets a thumbs up. I am a head hunter though and thy to knock heads off but pressure points a+
