WHY STUDY Mishima Ryu Karate?
It is a destructive art, well suited for one on one confrontations. hefty amounts of damage teamed with fast strikes is highly effective. has some trouble with multiple attackers. but is still very well rounded. Limited Chi ability at lower levels does give it a disadvantage to arts with high chi use.
