Kyokushin, Goju Ryu comparison

tkd_person89 · 10-21-2005, 12:09 AM

What are some similarities/differences between the two?

Do Goju ryu guys spar? If so, is it full contact like Kyokushin? If not, are there any other Karate styles that spar full contact (id prefer not to do shotokan).

I already practice TKD. I'm looking to add a japanese MA to my repertoire.

Shotokan is the art TKD is based off, so that would be pretty easy for you to learn. All styles spar, its up to the instructor. Also all karate is basically the same as they are all linear and have all been developed pretty recently. I know some really good shotokan guys, and some really good goju guys.

I know what your asking. But my opinion is that if your looking for something to complement TKD, which is a linear art. You should study some sort of circular art form such as jujistsu. Jujitsu is like an X, while TKD is like a +. Together they work very well together. This will open your mind to a whole bunch of new ideas to add to your current developement.
