Harcore Karate. "Concentrate, focus power!"
Hi
Are there really hardcore Karate Dojos in Japan where you will engage in full contact sparring and other hardcore training methods? Does it take a long time to become a black belt?
I'm not interested, just curious.
I defended Karate on another forum as someone was saying that a Karate BB would be walked all over by a one year boxing student.
I said not to judge all Karate by USA Musical Kata competitions and that a black belt from a hardcore school in Japan would more than hold his own against a one year boxing student.
However, I have no evidence of these 'hardcore schools in Japan' I just assumed they exist. Do they?
