Ash's Okinawan Karate
ASH’S OKINAWAN KARATE LOCATION: 610 Professional Drive, Suite 1, Bozeman, Montana 59718 PHONE: 406-994-9194 EMAIL: [email protected] WEBSITE: www.ashsokinawankarate.com INSTRUCTORS: Brian Ash – Roku dan (6th degree Black Belt) Lisa Ash – Yon dan (4th degree Black Belt) Kaitlyn Ash – San dan (3rd degree Black Belt) Karate is an individual endeavor. Each person is taught and advanced according to his/her own ability. Initially, you will learn a basic foundation of karate techniques on which to build. Fundamentals of actual street and sport karate are later incorporated into your training as well as the Isshinryu kata. All classes include stretching and calisthenics. To be effective in karate, you must be in optimum shape. This book lists the minimal testing criteria for each belt level. Your sensei will decide when you are ready for testing, even if you have met the listed criteria. The rank criteria are simply a guide for the student. Practice is very important to prepare yourself for learning and advancement. To be a true black belt, you must not rush through the kyu ranks. Take advantage of that time to practice and improve all techniques and kata. We can never stop learning or improving ourselves. The secret of martial arts success is practice. Like uniforms are required during class representing tradition and equality in students. The main objective of Isshinryu is the perfection of oneself through both physical and mental development. Ash’s Karate combines teaching Isshinryu karate with a well- rounded exercise program. MISSION STATEMENT: To instill confidence, courtesy, and respect while building mental and physical strength, self discipline, balance, focus, endurance and perseverance in students so that they may empower themselves to overcome physical and mental obstacles, build character and unify mind, body and spirit.

Shoto Ryu Karate Kai Association History Rules and Grading Syllabus
SHOTO RYU KARATE KAI ASSOCIATION HISTORY, RULES & GRADING SYLLABUS Master Vivian Nash 8th Dan FOUNDER OF SHOTO RYU KARATE KAI ASSOCIATION 1931 - 2009 Viv, as he liked to be known (outside the dojo), was born in Radstock, near Bristol, but his family settled in Plymouth when he was around five years old. BOXING Viv spent much of his life practicing and studying physical activity, and fighting arts. His mother had a theatrical background and encouraged Viv to explore the rhythm and harmony of music and dance. His father, a keen amateur boxer, taught Viv to box to a high standard. It is perhaps this positive encouragement, from a very early age that put Viv on the path to become the martial arts master and perfectionist that he certainly was. Viv was successful in the Amateur Boxing Association and during two years of National Service in the Army he became Middle-weight Battalion Champion. He also boxed in fair ground booths and often said that his boxing experience underpinned the physical side of his early karate practice. ‘I fought in many competitions, winning most of them. Later I boxed in fairground booths for £3 for three rounds; in those days, I liked to fight very much. I believe that boxing certainly helped the physical side of my karate.’ However, whilst in the army he was involved in a fire accident and was badly burned, thus ending his boxing career. While in the army he served in Suez and during his off-duty hours would spend many hours in the library, reading about many different religions.

Taikyoku Kata - 太極
Taikyoku Kata - 太極 Taikyoku Kata - 太極 The name Taikyoku - 太極 refers to the Chinese philosophical concept of Taiji. Taikyoku is literally translated as ‘Great Ultime’. The word Taikyoku can also mean overview or intent – seeing the whole rather than concentrating on the individual parts, and keeping an open mind or beginner's mind. No prejudices and endless possibilities are pursued in the training. That's why a karateka should never think that, as soon as he gets better or passes to a more complex Kata, the first and most basic Kata is less important, and therefore must keep an open mind. The Taikyoku Kata were developed by Yoshitaka Funakoshi and introduced in 1930 by Gichin Funakoshi, founder of Shotokan, as a way to simplify the principles of the Pinan series. Taikyoku Kata are often introduced first, in preparation for the Pinan Kata. These northern Kata are based on the Shuri-te tradition of karate, which Sosai Masutatsu Oyama taught while exercising under Gichin Funakoshi. The respective Embusen - 演武線 or trajectory/route/road of all Taikyoku Kata is an ' I '. At each turn a block is executed, followed by a step and a punch. Back and forth in the middle there are three punches. The three Sokugi Kata were made by Mas Oyama to further develop kick skills. They have the same Embusen as the original Taikyoku Kata. Sokugi - 足技 literally means 'foot', 'technique' or 'kicking'. They were only formally introduced to the Kyokushin syllabus after the death of Mas Oyama. Mas Oyama developed Taikyoku sono Ichi, Ni, San – URA in 1980.

Kei Shin Kan Karate-Do Information Booklet KEI SHIN KAN KARATE - DO
Kei Shin Kan Karate-Do Information Booklet KEI SHIN KAN KARATE - DO Background and history Kei Shin Kan Karate-Do is a Japanese form of the martial art of Karate. It arrived in Australia in 1971 and has branches in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and Tasmania. The founder of Kei Shin Kan is Master Takazawa who was given a dojo by his teacher (Master Toyama) in 1958. Master Takazawa still lives in Nagano Japan. The head of Kei Shin Kan in Australia is Shihan Uchida in Sydney. The benefits of Karate There are many benefits from studying Karate, including : Learn self-defence and how to avoid dangerous situations Improve mental discipline and patience Improve strength, fitness and flexibility Meeting and socialising with a friendly group of students. It is likely to take many years for a normal person to achieve a high standard although students may progress faster depending on their dedication to training. While it is not realistic to set a particular time-frame to achieve black belt level, it is unusual to reach this level in less than 5 years. Again, the speed of progression varies with each individual. The syllabus Much emphasis is placed on learning proper basic techniques including stances, punches and blocks. These movements form the foundation of Karate practice. Sparring is introduced gradually starting with restricted sparring such as one-step sparring. As skills improve other sparring practice is introduced including three-action sparring, hands-only sparring and eventually free sparring. Safety in sparring is paramount. All sparring is strictly non-contact and protective equipment is worn also in case of accidental contact.

Roots of Shotokan: Funakoshi's Original 15 Kata
Joe Swift About The Author: Joe Swift, native of New York State (USA) has lived in Japan since 1994. He holds a dan-rank in Isshinryu Karatedo, and also currently acts as assistant instructor (3rd dan) at the Mushinkan Shoreiryu Karate Kobudo Dojo in Kanazawa, Japan. He is also a member of the International Ryukyu Karate Research Society and the Okinawa Isshinryu Karate Kobudo Association. He currently works as a translator/interpreter for the Ishikawa International Cooperation Research Centre in Kanazawa. He is also a Contributing Editor for FightingArts.com. Roots Of Shotokan: Funakoshi's Original 15 Kata Part 1- Classification & Knowledge Of Kata Introduction Gichin Funakoshi is probably the best known karate master of the early 20th century and is known by many as the "Father Of Japanese Karate." It was Funakoshi who was first selected to demonstrate his Okinawan art on mainland Japan. In Japan Funakoshi helped build the popularity of his fledgling art and helped it gain acceptance by the all important Japanese organization founded (and sanctioned by the government) to preserve and promote the martial arts and ways in Japan (the Dai Nippon Butokukai). An author of several pioneering books on karate, he was the founder Shotokan karate from which many other styles derived. When Funakoshi arrived in Japan in 1922, he originally taught a total of fifteen kata, although it has been speculated that he probably knew many more. The purpose of this article will be to introduce some of the theories on the possible origins of these kata, provide some historical testimony on them, and try and improve the overall understanding of the roots of Shotokan.
