What is Karate?

Karate
most simply means »empty hand« (kara-te 空手). Often is used a third character which means "the way". "Kara-te-do" (空手道), represents a "path of empty hand". It's a martial art that does not use weapons. Meaning of karate is much deeper. It is based on principles of "Budo skills". Everything is focused on control and the awakening of the internal energy, to clean selfish and evil thoughts, respect for the values of ethics and morality.

Karate for many becomes a way of life, travel and faithful companion.

Beginning of karate: Legend is associated with arrival of Bodhidharma in China:

Bodhidharma, son of king Sugundha from India was allowed to train martial art.. Inspite of royal blood and the respect which he had already been obliged to, Bodhidharma choose the life of a priest and his worldly life as a traveler.As 60 year monk walked over the Himalayas without any equipment.

In monastery he started with training China monks.

NIJU KUN: 20 rules of Gichin Funakoshi, the principles by which everyone should act, live, practice and teach others Shotokan Karate:

NiJU KUN Karate-do begins and ends with rei 空手道は礼に始まり礼に終る事を忘るな There is no first strike in karate 空手に先手なし Karate stands on the side of justice 空手は義の補け First know yourself, then know others 先づ自己を知れ而して他を知れ Mentality over technique 技術より心術 The mind must be set free 心は放たん事を要す Calamity springs from carelessness 禍は懈怠に生ず Karate goes beyond the dojo 道場のみの空手と思ふな Karate is a lifelong pursuit 空手の修業は一生である Apply the way of karate to all things. Therein lies its beauty 凡ゆるものを空手化せよ其処に妙味あり Karate is like boiling water; without heat, it returns to its tepid state 空手は湯の如し絶えず熱度を与えざれば元の水に還る Do not think of winning. Think, rather, of not losing 勝つ考は持つな負けぬ考は必要 Make adjustments according to your opponent 敵に因って轉化せよ The outcome of a battle depends on how one handles emptiness and fullness (weakness and strength) 戦は虚実の操縦如何に在り Think of hands and feet as swords 人の手足を剣と思へ When you step beyond your own gate, you face a million enemies 男子門を出づれば百万の敵あり Kamae is for beginners; later, one stands in shizentai 構は初心者に後は自然体 Perform kata exactly; actual combat is another matter 形は正しく実戦は別物 Do not forget the employment of withdrawal of power, the extension or contraction of the body, the swift or leisurely application of technique 力の強弱体の伸縮技の緩急を忘るな Be constantly mindful, diligent, and resourceful, in your pursuit of the Way 常に思念工夫せよ

DOJU KUN: A verbal argument which give all students, usually at the end of each training.The purpose of a dojo kun is remind all students, regardless of the level of the band that their physical, mental and spiritual growth, which is receiving the karate exercises extend beyond the walls of a dojo.

DOJU KUN

Modern World more or less does not now this.In Japan, these guidelines are found in the script calligraphy hung on walls. Many people think, Gijin Funakoshi is the father of the Dojo kun, which is not necessarily true. All authors have signed their work. Gijin did the same on his Niju kun, while Doju kun was unsigned. In his autobioraphy this also was not present.

• Jinkaku kansei ni tsutomuru koto
• Makoto no michi wo mamoru koto
• Doryoku no Seishin wo yashinau koto
• Reigi wo omonzuru koto
• Kekki no yu wo imashimuru koto

Only translation is not enought, because the message is much deeper.

Words must be read from right to left and from top to bottom.

Which means "Here is the rule, here is another rule ,..."

The best translation is as follows, although many interpretations:

Strive for completion of character
Protect the way of the truth
Cultivate the spirit of effort
Respect the principles of etiquette
Guard against impetuous courage

Throught repetition Dojo kun, becomes the the path of every karateka.

Sensei 先生 - teacher

WKSA Duplek Logo I am Matej Verbošt instructor and master of Shotokan karate 2.DAN.

My knowledge of karate began already in 1987. Then I trained in another club, which has not been professionally managed. After Its demise I went to karate club Borisa Kidriča, which was renamed in 1991 in Maribor WKSA Karate Club and all the time it is managed by sensei Ljubo Javoršek 7.Dan.

My competitive journey I started as a cadet and successfully performed at the state and wider levels.

Despite the fact that I liked competitions, I start karate seeing in a different way. For me it was no longer only fighting skill but a large part of my life. My karate-do has changed its course from cometitite into training karate as a art.

I have learned:

"Karate je kakor ledena gora. To kar se dviguje iz vode, je le njegov majhen del. Pod vodno gladino pa se v neizmernih globinah in dimenzijah skriva vso njegovo bogastvo."

In this club I'm still in it ... and I train and I train ... ...... to meet at least part of this wealth.

Throughout his coaching I was in contact with new generations and other karate masters. I am also a judge on WKSA karate and even the EURO EAST tournaments.

Certainly, many now regret that are trained and then left this martial art.

They are now coming back and confirm my beliefs.

Sadaj for many of us in the academy WKSA who insist ...join...

The essence of karate.

Knowledge of WKSA College

In the Far East already know how to raise children respect for all martial sports. Commercialization is not good for karate, it requires only results in fights, in which aggression develops. Anyone who wants to succeed in a competitive way, we show him the way and teach him in this direction.

It makes no sense to rush someone towards the competition if they do not wish so. The basis of karate taught by Funakoshi has been to harmonize the mind and body, and develop the spirit of humanity.

We belive that you or your children will make the correct choice. With us you will discover your spiritual wealth and power, which in many respects will change your life for the better.

Karate is an art..

"At the moment we ignore the body is in danger of our spiritual progress. Every effort, every training is essentially a struggle with himself. It is most important to know that no one else should be overcome as yourself."

It should be noted that all instructors learn and continue learning with sensei Ljubo Javoršek 7. Dan , who is undoubtedly legend of Slovenian karate.

Knjiga TE - DLAN

Ljubo Javoršek v karateju sledi poti Taiji Kasea največjega strokovnjaka shotokan karateja.

Avtor v knjigi opozarja na pomen specifičnega dihanja (ibuki) in razvoja mentalne koncentracije, ki vodi do najvišjih ravni zavesti, prebujanja in kontrole notranje življenjske energije (ki), kar je tudi cilj vadbe karate veščin.

Kot avtor sam poudarja, je takšen (budo) pristop k vadbi edini popolni psihofizični koncept in neizčrpen vir navdiha ter motivacije, ne glede na starost ali spol.Tudi v modernem karateju Kumite ni nekaj, kar bi lahko vadili namesto kate.

NAKAYAMA je to formuliral: "Kata in Kumite sta kot dva kolesa ene kočije."

Recenzija

Po pozornem proučevanju te knjige, ki jo je napisal priznan avtor s sijajnimi špornimi rezultati, lahko sklenem, da je svoje številne izkušnje opisal strokovno in praktično. Knjiga je plod avtorjevih bogatih izkušenj, dela in strokovnosti. Do sedaj neraziskano področje je predstavil na izviren način, ki temelji na sodobni znanstveni metodologiji in tehnologiji. Avtor se je s tem delom dotaknil ene najvišjih točk svojega ustvarjalnega dela. Vse, kar je pomembno, je predstavil na enostaven način, vendar po strokovni plati izčrpno in korektno ter tako ustvaril izjemno pomembno delo za slovensko športno dejavost.

Kaj pomeni ta znak?

Naš simbol je ideogram GI. Pomeni moralno dolžnost, najvišjo obliko bojevnikove časti, morale in dostojanstva.

Gi pomeni tudi odreči se sebičnemu vedenju, slediti glasu razuma in doprinesti k človeštvu.

Shihan Taiji Kase je za simbol WKSA Akademije izbral ideogram GI, da bi z njim izkazal svojo lojalnost in vero v tradicijo.

GI- je bistvo Svetovne Shotokan karate do akademije in KASE-ovega Shotokan stila.

Pojem GI ima več pomenov in izžareva vse tiste vrednote, katere morajo krasiti osebnost resnične karateke. Istočasno je to duhovni izziv za vse tiste, ki GI občutijo kot svojo življensko filozofijo in da nadaljujejo s tradicijo.

Who was Taiji Kase ?

Bil je eden največjih učiteljev Shotokan karateja in eden največjih mojstrov te borilne veščine. Njegova neverjetna moč in karizma pa odmevata še danes.

Potem ko se je že dolgo časa boril z boleznijo je večkrat dejal, da je svojo moč črpal iz karateja, s katerim je pustil pečat, ki ne bo nikoli pozabljen.

Zanimivo:

med vojno, je bil med kamikazami
takrato je bil dojo v bombardiranju uničen, zato se je vrnil začasno k judu,
leta 1989 skupaj z mojstrom Hiroshijem Shiraijem ustanovil zvezo WSKA
njegove shuto tehnike so neponovljive

Značilnosti Kase-ovega nauka:

KIME; ta pojem pomeni, da se je potrebno osredotočiti na duševno in telesno moč. "More Kime" ("Več Kime-a") je eno izmed Kase-ovih znanih navodil. Kime je eno izmed osnov v karateju: močan stav, uporaba "hare" (s centra telesa-Tenden), efektivnih vzorcev gibanja, sproščanja, moči, ti. timig in močna volja. Če želite doseči močan kime je potrebno dati vse kar imate, telo in um. Potrebnih je več let razvoja notranje energije, da se obvlada pravilen kime.

FUDO DACHI; razvil ga ja je Yoshitaka Funakoshi (sin Gijin Funakoshija) in je tipičen za Kaseja, kljub temu, da je dokaj nepoznan v ostalih stilih karateja. Je stav, ki ga je Yoshitaka razvil iz zenkutsu dachija in očetu najljubšega kiba dachija. Fudo dachi pomeni nepramakljiv, trden. Namesto velikih gibov je potrebno posvetiti več pozornosti uporabi "hare".

O'WAZA, CHU WAZA, KO WAZA; O-WAZA (velika tehnika) pomeni amplituda, moč, hitrost, KO-WAZA (kratka tehnika); zahtevne za začetnika, se nadaljuje iz o-waze, CHU-WAZA (vmesna tehnika). Sensei Kase opisuje to fazo kot osnovno šolo in da je zelo pomembno, da se tehnike izvajajo postopoma s ponavljajočimi gibi skozi ves KARATE-DO. Postopoma se prehaja iz ene tehnike k drugi.

KAMAE; pomeni držo, položaj. Na samem začetku se učimo začetno in zaključno točko izvedene tehnike, recimo: ko napadamo oi-tsuki jodan z eno roko, druga avtomatično gre na bok. Kasneje z vadbo postanejo ti gibi avtomatični. Naš stil uči, da gibi ne rabijo vedno biti isti ampak se lahko začnejo in končajo v kateri koli smeri. To je že nadgradnja naučenega.

SEITE in HENTE; sei-te tehnika z roko ali nogo, hen-te več tehnik z isto roko ali nogo. Ponavadi se uči, ena roka blokira, druga udari. Sensei KASE je idejo o hente tehnikah dobil od največjega mečevalca samuraja Miyamoto Musashija, ki je vedno uporabljal dve katani in ne ene kot je bilo v tradiciji.

SHUTO TEHNIKE; roke oponašajo delovanje meča. Lahko odkrito rečemo, da noben ne obvlada shuto udarcev kot jih je KASE. Z razvojem športnega karateja so nekatere tehnike izpodrinile druge in to je privedlo do slabega razvoja le teh. Kase je to spremenil. Uporabljal je "Shuto" tehnike, tako v obrambi kot v napadu. Obramba se je spremenila v napad z namenom, da se onemogoči nasprotnika.

URA in GO KATE; Kata se dela v standardni smeri, ampak jo je potreno znati delati tudi na vse druge načine. Tako je kata lahko izvajana v naslednje smeri: Omote, Ura, Go in Ura-Go. Karate ima mnogo kombinacij in te so ene izmed njih.
