&#8220;Shotokan&#8221; literally translated means &#8220;house of Shoto&#8221; (Shoto being the pen-name of Gichin Funakoshi). Karate practiced by followers of Gichin Funakoshi is very much the way of life Master Funakoshi was hoping for, with little emphasis placed on competition as he did not feel it was in the spirit of karate, but later allowed some minimal [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dailykarate.wordpress.com&blog=4508409&post=213&subd=dailykarate&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Based on a recent interview with Okazaki Sensei published by &#8220;The Shotokan Way&#8221; (see here), it seems unlikely that karate will ever be in the Olympics under the governance of the ISKF.

Wondering what people thought about the most recent ISKF Canadian National Karate Championships in Calgary, I thought I&#8217;d put together a brief survey to get your feedback. Prefer hotel tournaments over a gymnasium? Tatami mats vs. hardwood floors? Let us know.
