I've also found a local teacher who teaches ninjutsu. However, I'd be very weary about someone who teaches that art (IMO, it's very difficult). Anyhow, I've got 2 questions: What does "Shotokan Karate" focus on? Also, would it be counter-productive to practice both arts at the same time? they teach 3 days a week for each art on seperate days.
I believe that shotokan karate, will have kicks and punches. But both of those art forms have Katas(forms). I also know that neither allow punches to the head, only kicks
