Karate was formed on the model by Kendo and Judo. It was referred to as a "style" of Martial Arts in itself, but this never came about, perhaps because of WW2, or there may be other reasons. In any case produced the original school system Shotokan-Ryu, Wado-Ryu and Shito-Ryu. Goju-Ryu much later was developed and was accepted in the Okinawa school system many years after the original karate program of Itosu.
If there is not a review of judo and jujutsu, Kenjutsu in Kendo have been, it is possible that this doctor would not have survived.They were frowned upon by the new society. "too ' Likewise Okinawa was not popular and considered a violent activity by the general Community, the more refined art of karate was successful and was responsible for the continuation of these Okinawan Martial Art, albeit in a different form.
Itosu realized that education is the key that came with the education of humanity and understanding, and less need for civilian self-defence. Okinawa had no organised sports such as we know it today, so an exercise regime, such as karate, a brilliant stroke of genius of his side was. Karate had to an exercise program of the community, an educational organization for the promotion of humanity and a way back to brutal self defense would be necessary.
Unfortunately, karate, a sports and recreational activity that taught by both a high and a low grade. Only few know what it is that they are education and concentrate on all the wrong aspects.The physical techniques are not well understood so that the basic principles of kata are taught as the foundation of karate. The humane aspects are rarely discussed or, via the Dojo Kun and paid lip service only be taught.
Karate in Okinawa, a small backward country at that time, with very few people involved, was developed, but we believe somehow that they have a complete system that will allow one to save of 4, 8 or more attackers have developed. The secret of karate is common sense and practice a combination of physical and intellectual study (bunburyodo).
One of the mistakes that created today is to sell of karate as a product, it's not something that can be bought and sold as a hamburger. You pay for someone's knowledge, skill and ability to pass on important information about health, fitness, compete in the sport and defend yourself. You pay a fee for an educational service.Apparently is no longer important who you learn, but at the end of the day, the only rank you hold is that of personal knowledge and capacity.
How can we teach? By mankind. I don't think it can actually be taught, but maybe can be fed and nurtured. It's a bit like think karate builds character.If a person of bad character than that may be impossible to change.
It is important to ensure that a sense of honesty and treating others the benchmark of a karate class. If we allow training partners punch, hitting and kicking just mm is of our body, then we trust in their character and faith in their humanity.
Nobody likes to be exploited, and we are brought up to believe and trust in those who are in authority such as teachers. Hypocrisy destroys by karate teacher that confidence, especially in the area of morality and ethics. Poor instruction can damage a person's character karate.Poor role models can affect a student of any age in the wrong direction.
It is a great responsibility in teaching anything, but especially karate.If there is abuse the consequences are very serious. definitely can karate training makes everyone invincible but it's a dangerous for those who do not self-defense skills.
Students have to with great caution about the effects of a new striking are taught.Many people suffer serious injury from being knocked to the ground, not of the punch but from hitting their heads on a hard floor.How can you give someone a loaded pistol with no instructions in the why and when, and are not responsible if another human being is mutilated?
Fortunately, most people reasonably sensible and humane. I remember a case where a karate student was convicted of killing his own unborn child by his mother kick in the stomach when she was pregnant!We all know of karate instructors who have accused of crimes against children.
If karate is to be taught as a dance aerobics class at the gym, there is a problem. Aerobics is about health and fitness, karate can be used in this way, but there is still a need for explanation and standards of conduct.
Are you a karate teacher, a sports coach or a gym instructor? Is your place of statement a dojo, a Club House or a gym? All are worth it, but you must not fool yourself or others. If your level of expertise is of a low level than admit to it and let others do not think you are an expert. Otherwise, unintentionally, gives you the experts a bad name.
Karate is pleasant, that is to say seriously fun. one cannot pretend to be a doctor, a dentist, a solicitor or a karate teacher, these are all called Sensei, someone who has reached a certain stage of understanding, not someone who still has to give than the novice stage.
A black belt or black and white belt does not have the right to learn of the wearer. They must have a thorough knowledge of the content and the training in the principles of education. If they are to learn a watered down version of the sport, as some suggest, should they know enough not to cause damage to those within their duty of care.
