Hur Shōtōkan-Karaten Kom Till Sverige Via Karateklubb Zendōkai 1 Hur Shōtōkan-karaten kom till Sverige via Karateklubb Zendōkai Av Roy Andersson, grundare av Karateklubb Zendōkai Min tid med Karateklubb Zendōkai Förord I följande text nämner jag den japanska titeln sensei bara när namnet presenteras första gången, an- nars blir det för tjatigt. För att underlätta uttalet anger jag lång vokal med ett streck ovanför, vilket framgår av ovanstående rubrik. Jag skriver japanska ord och uttryck med kursiv, med undantag för sådana ord som är helt ac- cepterade i svenska språket, t.ex. karate och budo. I mina skriverier låter jag alltid humor och självironi lysa igenom.

dåtida karate och min nuvarande karate ............................................................................... 59 3 4 Hur mitt eget intresse för budo började. Jag beskriver här hur olika tillfälligheter som har avlöst varandra till slut ledde till att Zendōkai bildades och vidareutvecklades. Mitt intresse för budo-konsterna började redan i 11-årsåldern, alltså omkring 1945, när jag hemma hos en av mina barndomskamrater fick syn på den gamla ju-jitsu boken Jiu-jitsu Trix av Viking Cronholm. Det var barndomskamratens far som hade köpt boken och jag fick låna den på obestämd tid. Författa- ren hade faktiskt en sorts judo-dräkt när han visade sina tekniker och jag tyckte att det vilade någon sorts lockande mystik över det hela. Jag lärde mig de olika teknikerna efter bokens bilder och fick det faktiskt att fungera när jag testade det hela på mina oförberedda kamrater. När vi kom in på 1950-talet hade ordet judo börjat dyka upp då och då i vissa tidskrifter och ibland med bilder och de vita dräkterna och svarta bältena fascinerade mig. Jag sökte efter litteratur, men lyckades inte hitta någonting förrän 1952, då jag seglade som enkel mässuppassare på en Ghorton-båt och i en engelsk bokhandel hittade en bok om judo, skriven av Yukio Tani. Illustrationerna var teckningar, men de var mycket välgjorda och motsvarade mycket väl fotografier. Mitt intresse för judo var nu etablerat och när jag under mina fortsatta seglatser besökte den japanska staden Kobe fick jag hjälp att hitta till en judo-klubb. Jag var då själv maskinbefälselev och tillsammans med däcksbefälseleven tog vi oss till klubben. Jag minns att vi till de närvarandes bestörtning klampade in med skorna på, men vi fick hjälp av den gamle judomästaren själv att placera vår skor i den därför avsedda skohyllan, som på japanska kallas för getabako. Mästaren själv bad sin främste elev att visa de kast som jag mycket väl kunde namnen på och jag minns fortfarande att ett av kasten var hane-goshi, d.v.s. fjäderhöftkastet, översatt till svenska. Halmstads första budo-klubb Under en period då jag arbetade hemma i Halmstad startade jag upp den första ju-jitsu-klubben i Halm- stad under namnet Shiroi Neko, som betyder Vita Katten. En reporter på Hallandsposten var turligt nog i den då nybyggda sporthallen och fick syn på våra

  • Premier Karate Course, Leigh Sports Village, 18 Th October 2009
    Premier Karate Course, Leigh Sports Village, 18 th October 2009 Mention of the town of Leigh –if it is known at all– suggests images of old Lancashire. Situated to the west of Manchester, coal, Rugby League, cloth caps and cotton are the dominant images. All these motifs remain in the modern Leigh, but in a form that would be far from familiar to the town’s inhabitants from its industrial past. As one approaches the town on the A579, its undulating rollercoaster surface is testament to the subsidence of earlier mining activity. Rugby league continues to wield an important influence, but with a very contemporary feel. The old rugby club has undergone a dramatic facelift in the form of the brown-signed “Sports Village” with modern facilities, not only for the 13-man game, but also for racquet sports, swimming, aerobics and, of course martial arts. My first sight of a flat hat then was not on a middle aged man with a whippet, head bowed against the Lancashire rain. In fact as I pulled into the car park of the Sports Village the dapper figure of 9-time World Karate Champion Wayne Otto, replete with stylish corduroy flat cap, was disembarking from his car. As for cotton, the sight of 150-odd white canvas karategi greeted me as I entered the main sports hall. English National Coach Otto was one of four instructors teaching on the inaugural Premier Karate Seminar. A student of Terry Daly from the Okinawan style of Uechi Ryu, Wayne was joined by three other luminaries, each from a very different style and background.

  • Time–Motion Analysis and Physiological Responses to Karate Official Combat Sessions: Is There a Difference Between Winners and Defeated Karatekas?
    International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, 2014, 9, 302 -308 http://dx.doi.org/10.1123/IJSPP.2012-0353 © 2014 Human Kinetics, Inc. www.IJSPP-Journal.com ORIGINAL INVESTIGATION Time–Motion Analysis and Physiological Responses to Karate Official Combat Sessions: Is There a Difference Between Winners and Defeated Karatekas? Helmi Chaabène, Emerson Franchini, Bianca Miarka, Mohamed Amin Selmi, Bessem Mkaouer, and Karim Chamari Purpose: The aim of this study was to measure and compare physiological and time–motion variables during karate fighting and to assess eventual differences between winners and defeated elite karatekas in an ecologi- cally valid environment. Methods: Fourteen elite male karatekas who regularly participated in national and international events took part in a national-level competition. Results: There were no significant differences between winners and defeated karatekas regarding all the studied variables. Karatekas used more upper-limb (76.19%) than lower-limb techniques (23.80%). The kisami-zuki represented the most frequent technique, with 29.1% of all used techniques. The duration of each fighting activity ranged from <1 s to 5 s, with 83.8% ± 12.0% of the actions lasting less than 2 s. Karatekas executed 17 ± 7 high-intensity actions per fight, which corresponded to ~6 high-intensity actions per min. Action-to-rest ratio was about 1:1.5, and high-intensity- action-to-rest ratio was ~1:10. The mean blood lactate response at 3 min postcombat (Lapost) elicited during karate fighting was 11.18 ± 2.21 mmol/L (difference between Lapre and Lapost = 10.01 ± 1.81 mmol/L). Mean heart rate (HR) was 177 ± 14 beats/min (91% ± 5% of HRpeak).

  • 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.
