1. What is Silverado Shotokan Karate? |
|
|
|
|
We train in the following Karate-do styles:
Shotokan; developed from various Japanese Karate styles by Gichin
Funakoshi (1868–1957) and his son Yoshitaka Funakoshi (1906–1945).
Kyokushin; a strong style of stand-up karate-do, founded in 1964 by
Masutatsu Oyama.,
And, other Japanese Martial Arts.
The name Shoto-kan comes from Master Funakoshi's penname, Shoto means
pine waves, referring to wind rippling through trees at Mount Torao,
Japan; and the word kan meaning "house", thus Shotokan means "house of
Shoto".
Silverado Karate offers a wide variety of techniques which is
the result of blending styles of martial arts, from the hardest to the
softest.
