BRO

you live in sao paulo brasil? two words bro, CHUTE BOXE. in sao paulo. Vanderlei silva, Pele (formerly a member), anderson silva. These men are some of the top fighters in the world, and are absolutely incredible at muay thai and bjj.

Not to mention the brazilian jiu jitsu clubs all around you. I"m SHOCKED a brazilian would choose shotokan over bjj. i'm stunned.

Might change some of those thoughts. The key imo is his ability in 3 different styles. BJJ, Karate, and Mui Thai.

shotokan is a cool sport.....it's good to play around and challenge yourself, but I wouldn't use it to be a "badass"

I took shotokan for a while....fun and had some good stuff in it.

I cleaned up my spinning hook kick while training in that. I also took kenpo took.
