That's...a lot of animal styles.

Did you learned Bokator, Mr. DesertWolf?

[DesertWolf]

No, I'm sorry to say but a friend of mine had the honor of going to Cambodia to learn it which is why I'm able to post this martial art.

Apsara? A water nymph style?

What kind of style is that?

[DesertWolf]

Apsaras were known for their dancing skills as well as being care takers of fallen warriors.The idea is to move gracefully to distract your opponent to set up a strike.

for thouse who wish to know what shotokan is

Shotokan was the name of the first official dojo built by Funakoshi, in 1936 at Mejiro, and destroyed in 1945 as a result of allied bombing.[3] Shoto (松濤 ,Shōtō?), meaning "pine-waves" (the movement of pine needles when the wind blows through them), was Funakoshi's pen-name,[4] which he used in his poetic and philosophical writings and messages to his students. The Japanese kan (館 ,kan?) means "house" or "hall". In honour of their sensei, Funakoshi's students created a sign reading shōtō-kan which was placed above the entrance of the hall where Funakoshi taught.[4] Gichin Funakoshi never gave his style a name, just calling it "karate".


Shotokan training is usually divided into three parts: kihon (basics), kata (forms or patterns of moves), and kumite (sparring). Techniques in kihon and kata are characterized by deep, long stances that provide stability, enable powerful movements, and strengthen the legs. Shotokan is often regarded as a 'hard' and 'external' martial art because it is taught that way to beginners and coloured belts to develop strong basic techniques and stances. Initially strength and power are demonstrated instead of slower, more flowing motions. Those who progress to brown and black belt level develop a much more fluid style which incorporates grappling and some aikido-like techniques, which can be found in the black belt katas. Kumite techniques mirror these stances and movements at a basic level, but progress to being more flexible with greater experience.

Kata is often described as a set sequence of karate moves organized into a pre-arranged fight against imaginary opponents. The kata consists of kicks, punches, sweeps, strikes, blocks, and throws. Body movement in various kata includes stepping, twisting, turning, dropping to the ground, and jumping. In Shotokan, kata is not a performance or a demonstration, but is for individual karateka to practice full techniques—with every technique potentially a killing blow (ikken hisatsu)—while paying particular attention to form and timing (rhythm). As the karateka grows older, more emphasis is placed on the health benefits of practicing kata, promoting fitness while keeping the body soft, supple, and agile.

Several Shotokan groups have introduced kata from other styles into their training, but when the JKA was formed, Nakayama laid down 27 kata as the kata syllabus for this organization. Even today, thousands of Shotokan dojo only practice these 27 kata

Well before I leave for a funereal, I decided to give you guys a present. Some of you might remember that I said a Kenjutsu master can cleave through a tatami mat.Well I found a great video showcasing just that but a little better.The master is using an o-katana which is slightly longer and wider than a regular katana.
