Analysis of Genuine Karate - Hermann Bayer - Bog - YMAA Publication Center - Plusbog.dk

Analysis of Genuine Karate - Hermann Bayer - Bog - YMAA Publication Center - Plusbog.dk

Genuine karate is an Okinawan martial art for self-defense; its ongoing globalization has jeopardized its inherent effectiveness. “The changes made to karate in mainland Japan and in America have altered karate so intrinsically that it can no longer claim to be genuine karate.” Dr. Hermann Bayer, Ph.D., examines how Japan re-interpreted Okinawan karate to create its own unique style of karate-do, and how Japanese and American changes resulted in a modern karate-sport business. Practitioners of karate are often confused, misguided, and even led to believe that karate is just karate—this is far from the truth. Practitioners need a clear understanding of what their training can offer them. This can only be achieved by understanding karate''s true purpose and by discerning misconceptions from facts. Contents include - - Okinawan karate’s “principle of never changing kata”. - - Karate as an Okinawan cultural heritage. - - Socio-cultural arguments to preserve Okinawa karate—as is. - - Japan—the karate reproducing country. - - Karate or Karate-do? - - The business of karate, karate-do, and karate-sport. - - Scientific proof of a peaceful karate mind. - - The laws of physics reveal weaknesses when kata are changed. - This substantially researched work makes a compelling case for the socio-cultural and historic arguments to conserve genuine Okinawan karate. Supported by historical facts, scientific analysis, and public records, Dr. Bayer reveals, for all to see, the complex evolution of karate and the unsettled claims made upon it by the various stake-holders.

Analysis of Genuine Karate 2 - Hermann Bayer - Bog - YMAA Publication Center - Plusbog.dk

AWARDS FINALIST— Sports , Best Book Awards, 2023 Genuine Okinawan Karate was developed as a fighting tool. Non-Okinawan Karate are for other purposes. Karate practitioners, scholars, and everyone caring about Asian martial arts and its culture will enthusiastically appreciate this eye-opening work. Dr. Bayer substantiates further how the art Karate was used to prepare a nation (Japan) for total war, how it was deliberately industrialized into a worldwide Japanized Karate-Do inflation, and how its following transformation into athletic showmanship destroyed the art’s unity and distinctiveness. The author endorses Karate-Jutsu as a genuine Okinawan martial art even as foreign knowledge and skills from India (speculated) and from China (proven) were integrated― and he explains the imitative social mechanism used to turn this local fighting art into a symbol of national identity. Since martial arts were initially understood as a moral code-neutral tool , like a weapon, this happens to contradict the modern understanding of Karate being a peaceful art with inherent non-violent values. In truth, moral codes or guidelines on how to use this tool were developed separately, not within the art. A new “back to the roots” Karate-Jutsu movement gains importance and establishes a counterculture to Karate-Do’s industrialization, helping to integrate some neglected reminiscences of Karate-Jutsu back into Karate-Do. Such a development brings Japanized Karate-Do versions closer to their martial origins, whereas pure Karate-Jutsu will be preserved as a point of reference by a group of dedicated curators. Contents include: - - Okinawa is the birthplace of Karate-Jutsu and Japan is the birthplace of Bu-Jutsu. - - How Karate and Budo were used for Japan’s war preparations. - - Senpai seniority was the social mechanism to integrate Karate into Japan’s martial arts tradition. - - Consequences of an ancient fighting art being turned into athletic showmanship. - - In Sports-Karate there is no more Kata in Kumite, and there is no more Kumite in Kata either. - - The modern misconception of avoiding a fight by all means. - - The path toward mastery in Karate. - - Sensei correct your errors and blunders, you have to correct mistakes yourself. - - Today’s Karate-Jutsu movement is the counterculture to Karate-Do’s industrialization. - - Karate’s market structure in the 21st century. -

This book features - - Clear and insightful explanations of dynamic movement. - - Over 100 illustrations. - - Profound but accessible analysis of the kihon, or fundamentals of Shotokan karate. - As a lifelong student of martial arts, J. D. Swanson, Ph.D., had searched through piles of books on form and function. "Stand here, step there" they said. But where movement was concerned, none went deep enough. No one was discussing the dynamics―the actual feeling of the moves. Both in print and in live teaching, karate instruction tends to focus on stances and finishing positions.

Advanced Shotokan Karate Handbook - Gursharan Sahota - Bog - Gursharan Sahota - Plusbog.dk

Following the success of his first book, The Shotokan Karate Handbook -- Beginner to Black Belt, the author felt there was a need for a manual to assist the more experienced student. Therefore, he has concentrated on more advanced techniques such as Kihon lppon Kumite, Jiyu lppon Kumite sets 6 and 7, and all the remaining Katas in Shotokan Karate. It is important that Karate Ka are aware that time, effort and practice are still the main factors in working towards perfecting not only one''s skills but also one''s inner mind and attitudes towards the art. This book is meant as a guide to Karate Ka -- it cannot take the place of your Sensei (teacher).

Karate as the Art of Killing - Masayuki Shimabukuro - Bog - North Atlantic Books,U.S. - Plusbog.dk

Karate as the Art of Killing - Masayuki Shimabukuro - Bog - North Atlantic Books,U.S. - Plusbog.dk

Grounded in a comprehensive overview of the philosophical and spiritual foundations that underlie karate, The Art of Killing emphasizes 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. With chapters on kokoro (heart, mind, and spirit), ki (spirit and energy), and the seven major precepts of bushidō, The Art of Killing shows readers that the lethal art of 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. This book does not contain detailed instruction in killing methods, but it does showcase the deadly power of karate--and explain why purity of intentions matters, and how compassion and respect are the essence of karate training. 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 About the body as a weapon

Training in karate is normally divided into three sections: the basic technique; kata, or sequencing of techniques to imaginary opponents; and kumite, the sparring done with an opponent. In total there are ten gradings to be passed in order to get a black belt - this, on average takes a student four years to attain. This book covers all the training needed to attain a black belt.This new edition includes brand new material on partner work, more grading tips to help you avoid making common mistakes, and new footwork diagrams to help you understand the movements better.

Analysis of Shu Ha Ri in Karate-Do - Hermann Bayer - Bog - YMAA Publication Center - Plusbog.dk

Analysis of Shu Ha Ri in Karate-Do - Hermann Bayer - Bog - YMAA Publication Center - Plusbog.dk

The transfer of a centuries-old Japanese fine arts principle into empty-hand fighting. In this book in the Analysis of Karate series, Hermann Bayer, Ph.D. examines Shu Ha Ri and its influence on modern karate. Bayer examines why and how this centuries old Japanese fine arts concept has changed how karate is practiced in modern times. Shu Ha Ri is a genuine Japanese fine arts principle that was later applied into Japanese martial arts in general, and into karate-do in particular—not as a factual martial arts tradition but as an invented one—during a process that also converted Okinawa’s self-protection art into something closer to a fine art of self-perfection. Clarifying the influence of Shu Ha Ri in the Japanese approach to martial arts is particularly important since traditional Okinawan karate circles adamantly insist on keeping their Okinawan karate approach separated, unique, and not to be mixed up with Japanese ways. Dr. Bayer''s weaves historic, socio-cultural, political, philosophical, psychological, and commercial components into a complex analysis that finally gives a clear picture of the subject, and that addresses doubts and questions about ascent or alibi which inevitably arise when an Okinawan fighting art is changed into a Japanese fine art. Contents Include - - A centuries old Japanese fine arts principle finds its way into modern karate. - - Shu Ha Ri is a Japanese cultural concept, not an Okinawan one. - - Japan converts Okinawan Karate-jutsu and inserts Japanese philosophies. - - The essence of Shu Ha Ri is its trinity of coexisting phases. - An additional component in this analysis is the inclusion of educational principles and approaches that can help instructors organize and systematize their teaching approach and to overcome traditional instructor-centered concepts by using teaching approaches that were developed to better reach westerly socialized minds.

Shotokan Karate - Bjarne Ibsen - Bog - Wadskjær Forlag - Plusbog.dk

Shotokan Karate - Bjarne Ibsen - Bog - Wadskjær Forlag - Plusbog.dk

Karate er et avanceret kampsystem, hvor stød, spark og parader indgår i et velafbalanceret bevægelsesmønster. Dette mønster gør det muligt at mobilisere hele kroppens styrke som drivkraft bag den enkelte karateteknik med blot en brøkdel af et sekunds varsel. Den karakteristiske eksplosive koncentration af kraft, der er så særegen for karate, opnås kun gennem vedholdende og systematisk træning, hvor samtlige teknikker konstant forbedres og rationaliseres. Enhver overflødig bevægelse elimineres for at fremme og forfine motorikken ned til den mindste detalje, så det ultimative mål for funktion og effektivitet realiseres. Den beskrevne karatestil i bogen er Shotokan. Den trænes inden for Denmark Shotokan Karate-Do Federation (D.S.K.F.). Shotokan er den mest udbredte stilart globalt. Den praktiseres og organiseres af et betydeligt antal internationale og nationale karateforbund. Uanset hvor mange af de andre forbund, der påstår at dyrke den mest sande eller autentiske stil, er det tekniske grundlag stort set identisk over hele verden. Små forskelle ses som regel i de forskellige stilarters tolkning af de 26 Katas, der betragtes som fundamentet for hele Shotokan-stilartens tekniske opbygning. Bogen er opsat med farvet baggrund i de tekniske billeder som en af de eneste på markedet. Det gør det meget lettere at se hvordan teknikkerne skal udføres.
