Maga
No this isn't about Trump. Hungarian-born Israeli martial artist Imi Lichtenfeld had developed a form of martial arts which uses European boxing, wrestling, and street fighting. It emphasizes aggression, simultaneous defensive and offensive maneuvers to defend himself and his Jewish neighbors agains...

Kime
Kime (pronounced kimee) are often used in the daily 7:00 AM basic exercise class in Zoom. Searching for the word "Kime" in this forum will return three pages. It's obviously an important word. Kime is a Japanese word translated as "to decide." In the context of karate, it means &...

Re: NOTES:
"Meiji Shrine"
After Emperor Meiji passed away in 1912, Japan's national legislature passed a resolution to commemorate his role in the Meiji Restoration. It restored imperial rule to Japan and rapidly industrialized and adopted Western ideas and production methods.

Re: The Footprints of Kanbun Uechi 2
"I wonder if they killed the bandits in the Tebira section of Kanagawa" I asked that question not as a racist White man who talk down to foreigners as savages. My impression of Kanbun, as a man who used deadly force, comes from what I read. "... it was said of him, 'One strike, certai...

Re: The Footprints of Kanbun Uechi
"As a youth his body was honed by farming the rocky soil of Takafuto..." Later, while Kanbun Uechi was wandering in China, Master Makabe Udon, had ridiculed Kanbun Uechi as a “Fat belly Uechi.” It goes to show how quickly isolation, loneliness, and hardship can turn muscle into flab, in my...

Re: The Footprints of Kanbun Uechi
It's interesting how even though Kanbun Uechi came from a samurai clan in Izumi, I don't hear of him or his followers practicing or teaching weapons fighting. True the westerns visualize samurai as a man with a sword, but they also studied hand-to-hand combat. Why did he focus on unarmed combat? At ...

Re: Martial Arts Career
In my opinion, besides being familiar with kata, the two most important skills in a martial arts career are the love for teaching and good knowledge of character. A great sensei would spend hours lecturing the students on proper techniques, correcting them. I never taught karate, obviously, but I di...

Martial Arts in Popular Culture
I am interested in hearing about the use of karate, kung fu, and other form of martial arts in the older popular media. Dick Tracy comics, September 1959, has policewoman Lizz using Jujitsu to toss Matty Munkie into a TV camera. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel that her throwing Matty several met...

Re: Robot sparring partner
Using virtual reality may be the best option for the near future since we already have primitive hardware which can work by tracking both hands and feet. It can buzz certain parts of the body if you make a hit. Some options: are Skywin VR Tracker Belt, Tracker Hand and Feet Strap Bundle for HTC Vive...

Ancient Health Wisdom Skeptic
I tend to be skeptical of ancient health practices since I know at least three who died young or were gruesomely crippled after refusing modern medicine and relied on wholistic health practices. Thomas Hale's "Don't Let the Goats Eat the Loquat Trees" book is filled with horror stories of ...

Re: The Footprints of Kanbun Uechi
"This applies to not just fighting ..." Agree that Karate is more than learning how to beat up people; it's a culture. I haven't learned any more than the kata basics. Still, being steeped for all my life in karate philosophy, not religion, may be the primary reason I'm still still healthy...
