Re: Difference between styles
If you're talking about basic practice, then some signs are as follows:
Yoshinkan:
uke & nage always start in the same spot
stance seems very rigid
movement seems very stiff
only the sensei is wearing a hakama
all the students move in unison
sensei barks out orders for each movement
These are some of the things that I have noticed from reading my books, watching my DVDs, and watching countless amount of YouTube vids. There are some techniques that once you see them performed in a certain manner, then you know right away that it is Yoshinkan.
