Book Description
Written by a White Belt and a Black Belt, this book contains the essence of Karate lore. Beginners will find all the basic concepts they'll need to get going. But it will also help higher ranks. As Master Funakoshi said, Taikyoku is a kata "of the most profound character and one to which, upon mastery of the art of karate, an expert will return to select it as the ultimate training kata." Taikyoku are used to introduce technique, but also the history and philosophy of Martial Arts. The authors share with you precepts of a master, insights of a beginner, and some Japanese and Okinawan lore and language picked up because of a life-long fascination with Things Japanese. You'll learn the meaning behind the Japanese words and kanji used in Karate, and improve your pronunciation along with your punches. You can use the book in conjunction with the Wadō Ki Kai website at www.wadokikai.com. You'll actually be able to see the kata performed by Sensei Arce, step through it or stop motion to study any position. Whether a beginner just starting Martial Arts or a Black Belt reviewing the lore and language of Karate, this book has something for you.

Instructor Supplemental - GŌJŪ-RYŪ KARATEDŌ 剛柔流空手道 Desk Reference 参考書: Tō-te Dō Gaisetsu 唐手道概說 (Ryūkyū Kenpō Karatedō Enkaku Gaiyō 琉球拳法唐手道沿革概要) Karatedō History Overview by Miyagi Chōjun 宮城長順 稿 - A Modern Translation Tō-te Dō Gaisetsu 唐手道概説 - by Miyagi Chōjun 宮城長順 稿 Ryūkyū Kenpō Karatedō Enkaku Gaiyō 琉球拳法唐手道沿革概要 GŌJŪ-RYŪ KARATEDŌ 剛柔流空手道 Desk Reference 参考書 We are fortunate to have resources that allow us to investigate historic manuscripts while assisting various agencies to catalog their documents. We examine these historic manuscripts to hear stories lost or untold. The 1934 edition of “Tō-te Dō Gaisetsu 唐手道概説” by Miyagi Chōjun 宮城長順 稿, known also as “Ryūkyū Kenpō Karatedō Enkaku Gaiyō 琉球拳法唐手道沿革概要” is rare considering the majority of the recipients lost their personal belongings during and after the 2nd World War. The document contains a valuable glimpse into the thoughts and writings of Miyagi Chōjun 宮城長順 prior to the battle for Okinawa. The variations from the 1934 edition to the 1936 edition are minor however readers should note that the style (Gōjū-Ryū Karate-dō 剛柔流空手道) was still in one of many well-planned stages of development and under closer examination such becomes clear with both the minor revision in history and the technical syllabus as indicated by Miyagi Chōjun 宮城長順. Due to the age and deterioration of the original artifact, we turned to the supplementary published modern print versions of his (Miyagi Chōjun 宮城長順) publication to verify the Kanji inscribed from the publications by: · 1976 - Nagamine Shoshin 長嶺将真, 史実と伝統を守る沖縄の空手道 (Okinawan Karate-Dō that Preserves Historical Facts and Traditions). · 1978 - Miyazato Eiichi 宮里栄一, 沖縄伝剛柔流空手道 (Okinawan Den Gōjū-Ryū Karate-Dō). · 1987 - Kai Kuniyuki 甲斐國征, 正伝沖縄剛柔流空手道技法 (Shoden Okinawa Gōjū-Ryū Karate-Dō Gihō). · 2000 - Yagi Meitoku 八木明徳, 男·明徳の人生劇場 (The life and drama of the man Meitoku). In addition, the term Tō-te 唐手 (Tō-de) has been modernized to “Karate” as agreed upon by members of the Dai Nippon Butokukai Okinawa Chapter 大日本武徳会 沖縄県支部審議員Okinawa division, then chaired by Miyagi Chōjun宮城長順. Readers should understand that the term “Tō-te 唐手 (Tō-de)” was merely a popular vernacular of the era and was not intended to sugguest that Okinawa martial arts had originated in China. This was also collaborated by Miyagi Chōjun 宮城長順 in the October 1936 “Karatedō Zaidan-kai 空手道座談会 (Karate symposium),” and further supported by Okinawa prefectural researchers. China based martial arts were however excellent resources for training and research due to the country’s vast population and border proximity which encompassed a multitude of various styles from which to draw inspiration. And finally, the text and context of this manuscript by Miyagi Chōjun 宮城長順 is dated. In other words, people (in Okinawa and Japan) simply do not speak in the manner as written in the essay any longer. In our modern times, much of the terminology then used is now depreciated or, the rhythm of speech is considered ancient. For this reason, we have included italicized text for the clarification of framework.

Book Description
My book contains grammatical mistakes, and for that I am deeply sorry. This is the first book in a series, which is intented to examine the links between Shotokan Karate and the three teachings - Daoism, Confucianism and Buddhism. The book deals with Heian Shodan (aka Pinan Shodan) and the rest of Heian katas. We can learn a lot from the Chinese origins of Karate. Daoism (Taoism) in particular has been forgotten in modern times, as a tool for understanding Karate and improving it. There are very practical conclusions that we can come to, using Daoism. In order to achieve that, we must develop a deep understanding of the Heian katas using Chinese philosophy. The book explains how Yin and Yang and the Five Elements (Wuxing) theories are connected to the Heians. We especially concentrate on the Wood Element, which is the element of Heian Shodan, and has profound implications on the kata. Topics from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) are brought up, including the relations between the basic katas and the organs and meridians. Then we turn to Emotional Karate, and observe the psychological benefit, that one could derive from Karate. Karate can contribute to our mental well-being. And our state of mind, as proven, effects our body - including chronic pains. After understanding the distinguishing qualities of Heian Shodan, we can understand why it is a particularly good kata for releasing a repressed anger. As for other issues: Some techniques are presented, in order to improve the kata and our benefit from it. We also learn how other katas may recuperate Heian Shodan. A mathematical formula of the five Heians is suggested, with an application to Heian Shodan's movements. Other Shotokan katas are also mentioned - as well as specific Karate moves and stances. Finally, we warn about excessiveness, and explain how to prevent it. By the way, several interesting topics are discussed: the far and the relatively modern history of Karate and of other martial arts, our Karate ancestors and even Chinese and Japanese characters and words. In conclusion, although the book deals with Chines philosophy, it has many very applicable sides.

Book Description
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.
