Karate Kicks

[Buka]

Martial Arts are so the balls.

 

[Gyakuto]

yes in the dojo one do not wear geta, but traditional karate was meant for “the streets “

Karate was often practised outside, on compacted dirt ground of walled courtyards beyond the view of prying eyes..

Beyond the view of Satsuma samurai ideally, as well.

Oh no! I think slightly less of Funakoshi now I see he didn’t want to get his baby-clean, intellectual feet dirty. I bet Itsuo Ankō had filthy, dirt-encrusted feet!

If you're looking for a more traditional, low-kick art, check out Okinawan Goju-Ryu, Uechi-Ryu, or Shorin-Ryu as isolated schools. These styles stick to the old, pragmatic ways and keep kicks minimal. Perfect for post-50 longevity!

I will have to do some research into the traditional Okinawan arts.

As a side note, have you considered Aikido?

I appreciate the suggestion, but with the bad rap Aikido gets and the fact that it seems like a colossal waste of time for self-defense. I just feel punching a makiwara and doing some low kicks would be time much better spent than throwing around a partner that is non-resistant.

I love the sound of hitting the makiwara in the morning. Toss in some low kicks and a little kote kitai - it doesn't get much better than that. And makes for a perfect first date as well.

a little kote kitai

I am at a loss as to what this is? Nevermind, just googled it, lol.
