i was in a seminary with him last year,and even with more than seventy years,he's incredible.He knows a lot,and knows how to teach,and loves what he does.And a good shotokan fighter is a terrible opponent,can endure a lot of pain,and even if he just hits once,it will be painfully precise and hard

In the old days...kata was used as a reference guide or text book so to speak...and was where practitioners got their techniques which they practiced with a partner. ( See Ryu Kyu Kempo ). Kata was not performed to look pretty. Within the katas were basics, grappling and nerve strikes..but this was not taught to the Japanese in those days by the Okinawans. Now this information is avaible.

agreed but besides if you would study just kata or ballett form of karate i agree that would be great show but if you need to protect someone this karate is very little help if you meet an experienced streetfighter.

For those of you who think only of street fighting, you will never get the big picture. It would be better if you ignored traditional karate and just went out and did your thing. It is not within your mental capacity to see the benefits. We don't care about beating people up in street fights. We avoid those and try to pursue higher aims.

It is just one of the areas of karate that is practiced. When Kanazawa was training for competition, they trained 6 hours a day , 6 days a week and a great deal of that time was fighting and I don't mean point fighting...as they would literally knock each other around the room and used many sweaps and take downs. Later when he was just training and teaching, it was 3 hours a day , 6 days a week. He would have held his own against any of todays MMA hot shots...Any! |
