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.

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 learnsomething new ea day

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.

I really wanted to blast after that last comment. However I'm through with it. You have your opinion and I have mineA 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???
