Here, in this small but provocative publication, lies yet another milestone in the legacy of karate. Watashi no Karate-jutsu ('My Art of Karate'), introduces comprehensive insights into a fighting tradition as known and taught by one of its early Okinawan innovators, Motobu Choki (1870-1944).

Motobu did publish three books on Okinawan karate: Okinawa Kenpo Tode-jutsu (1926), on training methods; Okinawa Kenpo Karate-jutsu Kumite-hen (1926); and Watashi no Karate Jutsu (1933; available in translation by Patrick and Yuriko McCarthy). Choki Motobu’s fame rested not on his katas. *** Watashi no Karate-Jutsu (Part II) Nihanchi Kata (Whole Sequence) 1932-1933 Motobu Sensei, was disillusioned with what he called the 'misaligned direction of State and Contemporary Karate', creating Kata and Kumite which did not embody the True Spirit of Okinawa-Tii.

One of only two books he ever published on the art, it is not widely known in modern karate circles or outside the spectrum of those who research its history. Straightforward in its approach, this modest work outlines those unique methods that made Motobu Choki, pound for pound, possibly the greatest technician and karate fighter of his generation. One mistake the modern karateka often makes, when trying to grasp the technical ambiguities surrounding the application of early karate practices, is to depend on contemporary assumptions. This small but powerful book provides a window which the reader is better able to perceive the cultural landscape and mind-set of those people who shaped its practice.

Today I decided to give the keyboard to someone else: Motobu Choki. Or – as they say here in Okinawa – Motobu Saru. And although “saru” literally means monkey, it’s not used in a negative way at all. As usual, if you don’t know who he was, do your homework I believe it’s always good to have background info on people who write what you read. And to say that Motobu had a pretty interesting background would be an understatement. Now, the following article was written by Motobu on May 5, 1926. Since the Japanese public knew very little about Okinawan Karate, Motobu was asked to write something about it.

So, he wrote a small pamphlet (a guide book if you like) which he entitled “The Techniques of Tode”. “Tode” is of course what we today call Karate. The following 7 points are Motobu’s advice for people studying Karate-jutsu (extracted from this pamphlet). Mind master download crack. The best age to start Karate-jutsu training is 12 years old. Starting at this age enables one to develop the systematic skills that are highly desirable when one reaches adulthood.

However, if one really has a desire to learn the martial arts, I would state that any age is a good age providing the student is serious in his efforts. Anyone who wishes to study Karate-jutsu should always try to work his weak side harder.

I believe that a student in the martial arts should train at least twice a day (morning and evening) and pay strict attention to developing his weak side in order to even out his strength. Anyone who learns Karate-jutsu and has a real desire to master the martial arts should train every morning as he arises.

Then exercise the arms from his right to left and left to right. Repeating this exercise about three times a day, both arms can be developed evenly. Anyone who strives to learn Karate-jutsu, should always remember the basic body position of hachi monji-dachi (the figure eight stance). Even in training, he should tense the stomach muscles and always stand erect with his chest out, like a true martial artist. Keep this position always.
