Download or read book The Kata and Bunkai of Goju-Ryu Karate written by Giles Hopkins and published by Blue Snake Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenging timeworn conventions of karate training and revealing the original intent of classical kata—or forms—through detailed descriptions of self-defense applications known as bunkai, this is a crucial addition to any martial-arts library. Containing more than 265 photos, the book is divided into chapters that illuminate each of the ten classical kata of Goju-ryu. Drawing on more than forty years of experience in the martial arts, Giles Hopkins Sensei takes us on a journey into the Goju-ryu karate system, providing a principles-based method for analysis of kata practice. Arguing against the commonly held notion that kata techniques can have multiple interpretations, he insists that a kata cannot simply mean what the user wants it to mean, but contains specific martial principles that must be followed for it to work effectively. The step-by-step descriptions of the receiving, controlling or bridging, and finishing techniques contain in-depth analysis of commonly misunderstood aspects of kata. Each chapter concludes with an engaging anecdote from the author’s time in Okinawa, the birthplace of Goju-ryu, connecting it with the kata under discussion. Equally useful for the novice and for more advanced karate practitioners looking to deepen their understanding of kata and bunkai.

Download or read book True Karate Do written by Jeffrey Brooks and published by Pinnacle Mountain Press. This book was released on 2023-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of this book, True Karate D?, was the title given by Sakiyama Sogen, Roshi, of Shuri, Okinawa, to an essay written by author Jeffrey Brooks, describing his ideal of what karate practice could be. Sakiyama was a great karate practitioner and Zen abbot of Kozen-ji. In his enthusiasm for Brooks' fresh and expansive vision of karate he translated Brooks' essay into Japanese and shared it with the karate community on Okinawa, and with his students overseas. In his book, True Karate D?, Brooks describes his effort to realize this ideal. There are three strands of discovery woven together in True Karate D?. One was to discover the underlying technical function and combative applications of kata. The second was the investigation of the soteriological claim, axiomatic throughout Japanese Zen-influenced budo, of the potential for ultimate liberation through martial arts practice. The third was how to live a coherent, healthy, virtuous and worthy life through practice.True Karate D? contains new insights into technique, body mechanics, mind training, and tactics, showing dimensions of karate which have been overlooked. True Karate D? reveals a new approach to deep transformation through practice - long a staple of the mystique of east Asian martial arts - long obscured and inaccessible. Relying on a careful reading of classic texts from Zen budo and other traditions, dojo and real world experience, history, and unforgettable stories, Brooks shows how we can live out the full potential of our martial arts. The approach presented in True Karate D? makes it possible to use martial arts practice as a complete training path. For vibrant health, practical defense, and ascent to the peak of human experience. Any martial artist can apply this approach. It is urgently needed, right now.

Bringing a fresh understanding to the study of the martial arts, Mark I. Cramer dispels many of the often-repeated martial-arts myths as he details the lineages of the modern styles of karate and describes the social, cultural, and political events that influenced them.

By bringing all of this knowledge together in one volume, Cramer—an award-winning inductee into the USA Karate Federation’s Hall of Fame—fills a crucial gap.

Book excerpt: Treasured for centuries by karate's top masters, the Bubishi is a classic Chinese work on philosophy, strategy, medicine, and technique as they relate to the martial arts. Referred to as the "bible of karate" by famous master Chojun Miyagi, for hundreds of years the Bubishiwas a secret text passed from master to student in China and later in Okinawa. All of karate's legendary masters have studied it, applied its teachings, or copied passages from it. No other classic work has had as dramatic an impact on the shaping and development of karate as the Bubishi. Karate historian and authority Patrick McCarthy spent over ten years researching and studying the Bubishi and the arts associated with it. The first English translation of this remarkable martial arts manual includes numerous explanations and notes. McCarthy's work also includes groundbreaking research on Okinawan and Chinese history, as well as the fighting and healing traditions that developed in those countries, making it a gold mine for researchers and practitioners alike. For the final word on the true origins and spirit of classic Okinawan martial arts, one need look no further. This karate book is one of the best karate training supplements available.

Book excerpt: When creating karate kata, the Okiniwan masters included deadly techniques targeting vital points. But they kept these techniques secret from outsiders, and when karate was exported to Japan, it appears they chose not to pass on their full knowledge of vital-point striking. Here Ashley Croft demystifies this hidden corner of the art and explores its practical application. This book offers historical perspectives on the evolution of karate, the possible intentions of the ancient masters, and the development of vital-point striking, as well as the location and description of the pressure points, and the practical application of pressure-point strikes.
