Isshinryu / Goju Karate?

[Judoka89]

1. What are Isshinryu sparring methods like?

2. How do Goju Ryu guys spar?

*My questions are based on how the majority of these guys spar, not the minority (i.e. most WTF TKD guys spar olympic rules, most MT guys spar typical MT rules with clinch,most kickboxers spar with no leg kicks but head punches)

My Judo sensei teaches one of these two styles. Not sure which one, lol. Just wondering if I should check it out or not.

I already am pretty proficient in Taekwondo. Maybe these karate styles will add to my striking dimension.

Goju-Ryu is non-contact sparring - meaning, you stop your kick/punch right before you WOULD hit them. As you advance (brown belt+) some dojo's allow very LIGHT contact.

I recommend looking into Kyokushin Karate - it's full contact sparring and seen by many (including myself) to be the best Karate style.
