Who are the best karateka in NYC?
Which do you think is the most effective style for self-defense?
It really depends on the individual and their specific needs. Shotokan Karate emphasizes speed and power, while Kyokushin Karate emphasizes toughness and endurance. Shito-Ryu Karate incorporates a variety of techniques and practices from other martial arts styles. The best self-defense style would depend on the person's physical abilities and personal preferences.
