Hi,
just a quick question.
in terms of stances and footwork.
which style of japanese/okinawan karate is most like taekwondo?
i know shotokan emphasises long low stances.
just not sure of other styles.|||I would say that the closest would be a sport oriented school. I am not sure about which %26quot;style%26quot; would be closer (as a Goju guy, Goju is not even slightly close), but the people who train for WKF type tournaments will do a lot more fast footwork, no low kicks, and so on (even Goju people!).
If you are thinking of joining, I would recommend looking for something like that.|||In terms of foot work, TKD seems to have a more loose and fluid motion and is what is known to make the art so well known for it%26#039;s kicks. Karate although has kicks, there is less emphasis, and if anything, their stances are a bit more grounded to maintain balance, than perform kicking.
If it was a TKD vs Karate in terms of kicking, the TKD would win.. But in a regular fight, my money would be on the Karate.|||Kyokushin karate has somewhat similar footwork-since Mas Oyama was influenced by the Korean fighting styles
