Shotokan Karate

Unread post by Colt47 »

Has anyone done a write up of Shotokan Karate for Ninja's and Superspies? I know it is one of the major forms of karate and it's a hard and external form, but I don't have the experience to make the write up myself. I'm hoping that because it is one of the major styles of karate in Japan that it is already written up.

Big Joe: We need some things enchanted to take a beating...

Norbu: Perhaps you want your weapons enchanted? Or maybe a shield or sword? I can even enchant armor!

Big Joe: We need you to enchant this Liver, this heart, and these kidneys.

Norbu: :shock:

Ok, so I've done some reading up on the style. It seems that Shotokan is actually one of the styles that Kyokushinkai Karate is based off of. Solid footing and balance is heavily emphasized and the style is aggressive.

Man this board really isn't that active is it? :-(

Several people, in fact:

Mantisking's version

Kuseru's version

Harold Nichols' version
There you go man, keep as cool as you can.
Face piles of trials with smiles. It riles
them to believe that you perceive the web they weave
and keep on thinking free.

I like Kuseru's version but he doesn't list the damage for the new hand to hand attacks :lol:

Makes using it a bit difficult.

Edit: Take that back, been on the comp too long it seems. :oops:

They're listed in a separate section of the PMAN, in case anyone else is wondering: http://www.geocities.com/kuseru/PMAN/rules.htm
