Yes! All karate styles will practice punching and kicking but will emphasise on different aspects. Distance and sports are just a couple of points. The style we practice is Shotokan. However, we consider pressure point fighting (Kyusho jitsu), throwing and groundwork as fundamental to Shotokan karate. This makes the art of Shotokan karate perfect for realistic self defence.
