Believe in a one puch kill?
ending a form at the same spot as you start it even when it actually can't(tekki shodan)
stress on use of hip to generate power even though the deep zenkutsu dachi locks your him for the most part
Need I go on? Don't forget he asked for the higher up stances and that makes Shotokan a nono

Hi Toudiyama,
Is there somewhere on the net i can go to read about shotokan deficiencies? I don't want to inconvienience you or hijack this thread, but my younger brother studies shotokan so that's why i asked

I've never studied karate so don't know much about it, always been a kungfu man myself, hehe.
