Ives Enthusiast Registered: 04/25/05 Posts: 691 Loc: the Netherlands	Can anyone explain why there are such extreme differances in Wankan between Shotokan and Shorin styles? I've noticed differances among Shorin styles. But not that extreme as between Shorin and Shotokan. Shotokan's embusen is completely different. _________________________ Ives

hedkikr Professional Poster Registered: 02/28/05 Posts: 2827 Loc: Southern California, USA	Actually, the Shotokan were more similar than different & the Shorin-ryu, Shito-ryu & Gensei-ryu were fundamentally the same. I say To-may-to & you say To-mah-to.

Ives Enthusiast Registered: 04/25/05 Posts: 691 Loc: the Netherlands	I did mean the differance between shotokan and the others. I'm sorry if I didn't make that clear. _________________________ Ives

Barad Member Registered: 11/27/06 Posts: 427	I have to say that the non-Shotokan versions look a lot more complicated than the Wankan that I practice, although there are some obvious similarities in the techniques between styles. Also, I have never really understood why the eyes are covered after the knee strike as you step forward a couple of times in Shotokan wankan, as I was taught it anyway. B.

Ives Enthusiast Registered: 04/25/05 Posts: 691 Loc: the Netherlands	Resurrecting an old thread. I've seen a kata called Matsukaze which looks more like the Wankan I know then Shotokan's Wankan. Very confusing these names?! _________________________ Ives

drgndrew < a god, > a man. Enthusiast Registered: 01/09/05 Posts: 599 Loc: Toowoomba, Qld, Australia	I know this is a serious discussion but I can help giigling like a school girl at the name I can see it now: Two black belts meet at a dojo The first says to the second: "so what have you been doing all weekend?" The second replies: "I've been practicing my wankan". The first says: "Geez, I've been doing that since I was 13, how much practice do you need to get it right." sorry if I offended anyone Edited by drgndrew (11/02/10 08:12 AM) _________________________ Sumo Pacis (Choose Peace) With Honour in Bushido Drew Guest www.ToowoombaSelfDefence.websyte.com.au Bushi Dojos Self Protection Toowoomba Self Defence
