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.

Book Synopsis Karate as the Art of Killing by : Masayuki Shimabukuro
Download or read book Karate as the Art of Killing written by Masayuki Shimabukuro and published by Blue Snake Books. This book was released on 2022-05-24 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive overview of karate connects the dots between its philosophical and spiritual foundations with its original purpose: to kill an attacker swiftly—and brutally. Prior to 1900, karate-dō was exclusively an art of unarmed self-defense. Its practice was designed for life-or-death situations—effectively, an art of killing. Here, authors Leonard Pellman and the late Masayuki Shimabukuro restore karate to its original intent. They move karate away from its popular modern-day sporting applications back to its deadly origins—and to the restraining philosophy of peace, self-sacrifice, compassion, and service to others that necessarily accompanied it. Readers will learn: • The purpose and meaning of karate-dō • The origins and major precepts of bushidō • Training methods, preparation, and etiquette • Fundamentals, spiritual power, training patterns, and analysis and application of kata • How to understand the body as a weapon With chapters on kokoro (heart, mind, and spirit), ki (spirit and energy), and the 7 major precepts of bushidō, The Art of Killing demonstrates how karate is more than a method of bringing an enemy down—it’s a philosophical and spiritual system grounded in essential lessons to guard against abuses of power. Together, the authors showcase how purity of intention matters, and how compassion and respect are the essence of karate training.

Book Synopsis Ki and the Way of the Martial Arts by : Kenji Tokitsu
Download or read book Ki and the Way of the Martial Arts written by Kenji Tokitsu and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2003-08-12 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While technical prowess and physical power are essential characteristics of a martial artist, true mastery of the art comes by cultivating one's inner strength. Here, Kenji Tokitsu—an authority on Japanese and Chinese combat arts and a respected karate teacher—shows how cultivating ki (life force) and understanding the principles of budo (the martial path of self-development) can make training in martial arts more meaningful, effective, and personally and spiritually rewarding. Tokitsu emphasizes the mental aspects of martial arts practice including: • The importance of ki development • Seme, or capturing your opponent's mind • Understanding ma, the spatial relationship in combat Studying these concepts, he explains, gives martial artists the tools to train for a lifetime and at the very highest level. Tokitsu also gives a historical and cultural survey of budo, and explains how the Western view of budo training is different than the Japanese—a perspective rarely available to Western martial artists.

Download or read book Sanchin written by Jim A. Melki and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-01-24 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sanchin is an ancient martial arts form. Originated in India, and introduced to the monks of the Shaolin temple by Bodhidharma, who trained in the art of 'Vajramukti'. The Sanchin form is a training form and not a fighting form, and is not designed to teach the student defensive or offensive fighting techniques. Sanchin practice is designed to emphasize the principles over the function of Uechi-Ryu training and to accentuate the quality and not the application of individual techniques. The Sanchin form provides movement templates from which to learn martial arts principles and techniques. Sanchin: The Inner Structure of Uechi-Ryu is the most comprehensive book on Sanchin training as it relates to Uechi-Ryu (Chinese/Okinawan martial art system). The book includes a wealth of important information useful to all practitioners of Sanchin including a brief history of Sanchin, the five principles, the three elements, and the three levels of Sanchin training.
Book Synopsis Karata Kata: For the Transmission of High-Level Combative Skills, Vol. 1 by : Michael DeMarco, M.A. et al.
Download or read book Karata Kata: For the Transmission of High-Level Combative Skills, Vol. 1 written by Michael DeMarco, M.A. et al. and published by Via Media Publishing. This book was released on 2015-08-31 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all know the meaning of the word kata. Even to nonpractitioners it is a familiar karate practice. Plus, the word has long been incorporated into the English language. For this reason I choose to write the plural as “katas,” and not follow the Japanese tradition where “kata” can be both singular or plural. By doing this I’ve ruffled feathers already, since many hold such a sacred bond with the time and place where karate took shape. Trouble with one word? Now how about the whole Okinawan martial tradition as passed on through katas? A kata is much like a family jewel that has passed down through generations. It holds a significance that is difficult to decipher, and many dispute the meaning of every micromovement it contains. Who created it? What are the applications? Is kata practice outdated? Is there more than we can see and understand? You bet. It is precisely because of the confusion and misunderstandings regarding the place of kata in the karate tradition that we are thrilled to present a two-volume e-book on this subject. If katas are learning tools that pass down knowledge of a valued art, then the authors included in this anthology can certainly facilitate the learning process for all interested in karate. Each author has excellent experience in the field, having studied directly under masters, often on the largest island in the Ryukyu island chain. In addition to their long years of physical participation in the school of hard knocks, their depth of scholarly research into the encompassing culture allows their writings to illuminate many aspects of kata practice that normally go unnoticed. In our quest to better understand the full significance of kata practice, we must take a serious look at why old masters formulated the routines. How can kata practice better our health and promise to hone our self-defense skills? Each chapter in this anthology deals with the principles that guide kata practice. Hopefully the reading will reveal some of the secrets to improving techniques. As with other martial traditions, some insights cannot be shared through written word. Like good teachers, may the chapters here inspire you to look deeper into kata practice.
Book Synopsis Naihanchi (Tekki) Kata: The Seed of Shuri Karate Vol 1 by : Chris Denwood
Download or read book Naihanchi (Tekki) Kata: The Seed of Shuri Karate Vol 1 written by Chris Denwood and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-10-02 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The heart of traditional karate is found within the kata. Naihanchi (Tekki) Kata is one of the original training forms and various versions of it can be found today in karate styles derived from the old Shuri-Te lineage on Okinawa. It is a vital part of karate's heritage handed down from the pioneering masters of our past. In this thought-provoking publication, Chris Denwood presents his own approach to traditional karate through Naihanchi Kata, featuring a step by step guide and an avid exploration of its true depth. Using five layers of analysis, Chris examines in detail how the movements of Naihanchi Kata represent a series of lessons, based on holistic themes and principles that when applied, show why this seemingly superficial kata has been revered by serious practitioners for generations. Volume one introduces the Kata, focusses on developing a solid foundation and investigates a number of the most important lessons on structure and dynamics to be found within the movements of the form.
