The martial art style that I have recieved my Dan rank in is highly shotokan based. I find that in terms of weakness, the use of powerful moves can limit ones speed. The philosophy of “one hit, one kill” rarely works these days, and speed seems to be essential. I believe that the strong stancework that shotokan has is crucial to the practitioner, and that it is a very good art to develop power and your center.
