I'm interested in Enshin Karate too.
Enshin Karate is very tough, kind of like muay thai. It focuses a lot on full contact sparring and conditioning unlike most styles of karate and it's not a linear style but more of a circular style using the opponents strenght against them but at the same time it's very aggressive. im not sure if that's right but that's all I know. does anyone know anything about it. like does it have joint locks, throws, breakfalling, weapons, knees, elbows, katas.
oh yea what is sabaki? and how does enshin karate compare to wing chun? wing chun is suppose to be really fast because it uses attacking and defending at the same time using both hands simutaneously(sp?), but from what i know karate does blocking first, than punches so it's slower. how about enshin.
excuse my english, sometimes i can't explain things too well, it's not my first language.  |

Your english is fine dont worry.
When trying to choose a style dont worry about how is compares. Just focus on what it means to you. If you can practice Karate well, then you can match anyone, but its really all about YOU when it comes down to defeating them. |

Asfar as I know tough styles of Karate (i,e conditioning strengh) are Goju Ryu, Kykushin and I just heard of Enshin but I have no idea what that is.
I read from a beginers guid that Wing Chun uses no strong techniques and use more of the oppenants strengh against them selves. Correct me if I'm wrong coz I just read that from one book so I dont really know. |

I searched some more on enshin karate, and if any of you like EOT are interested, this is what i found about enshin. i think some of the info might be wrong, im not really sure.
-Circular moves
-lots of conditioning, full contact sparring
-Has throwing, knees, elbows, punches, kicks, sweeps, blocks and maybe jointlocks?
-Doesn't believe in meeting force with force, but instead when someone punches you move away to the "blind spot" of the attacker and attack fom there.
-It's based off of ashihara(sp?) karate. ashihara was made by a student of mas oyama. It's similar to kyokushin i think, focuses a lot on sparring and has some aikido principles. |

Xtreme Fury:
Your basic information on Enshin is correct.
Kancho Joko Ninomiya trained and competed in Kyokushin through
the 1970's. his primary instructor was H. Ashihara. After coming
in 3rd in the first Kyokushin Knockdown World tournament, Ninomiya
finally won the Kyokushin All Japan tournament in 1978.
His instructor - Ashihara left Kyokushin shortly thereafter to found
a new style of Karate called "Ashihara Karate". Ninomiya went with
him as did many schools. The new style maintained some of the basic
Kihon, as well as the knockdown fighting - But dropped the traditional
Kata in favor of *Fighting Kata developed by Ashihara. there was also
an emphasis on Circular movement (sabaki) and getting to the blind spot.
About ten years later Ninomiya left Ashihara to establish his own new
brand of Karate called Enshin Karate. it is essentially very similar to
Ashihara Karate with fighting and kata still looking a great deal like
Ashihara Karate. Headquarters is in Denver Colorado USA.
Ninomiya is a brilliant Karate-ka and a nice man as well.
It is easy to learn about him and the style - just get his books
"My Journey in Karate" for his autobiography, and "Sabaki Method"
to learn about the techniques and strategy. They also host an annual
tournament called the Sabaki Challenge which is available commercially
as well as the three technique based Videos on Sabaki Method. I am
sure you have already visited the website, but if not it is at
http://www.enshin.com
Best Regards,
P.S. *Fighting kata do not use deep traditional stances, and instead are
done from a more natural sparring stance. The Kata have easy to
divine interpretation, and in fact are usually taught with partners
so everyone automatically knows the Bunkai to the Kata. |
