Acute Changes of Achilles Tendon Thickness Investigated by Ultrasonography After Shotokan and Kyokushin Karate Training

Studies ex- ist assessing the role of exercise on Achilles tendon morphology after vertical jump and treadmill running, and Achilles tendon dimensions noticeably decreased following heavy resistance exercise. However, little is known regarding the influence of different karate disciplines as shotokan and kyokushin on Achilles tendon thickness. Thus, this study aimed to establish whether the acute changes of Achilles tendon are a phenome- non characteristic of different styles of karate training. Material and methods: Twenty-four male partcipants (12 shotokan and 12 kyokushin karate athletes) underwent sonographic ex- amination with Honda HS – 2200 (Honda, Japan) ultrasound scanner. The Achilles tendon of both legs was measured twice before and then immediately following training. The sagittal thickness of the tendon was ob- served at a point exactly 10 millimetres proximal to the calcaneal insertion.

Lifestyle, occupation, and incorrectly exerted effort have a signiﬁcant impact on low back pain. To assess the prevalence of low back pain among those practicing Kyokushin karate, we take into account age, body weight, sex, length of karate experience, level of skill, and occupation. Materials and Methods: The study involved 100 people practicing Kyokushin karate, aged 18 to 44. A questionnaire developed for this study and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were used. Results: The research showed the prevalence of low back pain among karate practitioners (55%), depending on age (R = −0.24; p = 0.015), body weight (χ2 = 16.7; p = 0.002), occupation (χ2 = 18.4; p = 0.0004), and overall length of karate experience (R = −0.28; p = 0.04).

Application of the Martial Arts' Pedagogy
WOJCIECH J. CYNARSKI THE traditionally UNDERSTOOD karate-DO AS AN educational SYSTEM: application OF THE martial arts’ pedagogy Introduction The scientific problem undertaken here is to clarify the application of the “karate pathway” in a specific educational system. A variety of theBudo Pedagogy is applied under the name of karate-do. Is karate really an educational system? The issue will be implemented from the perspective of the Humanistic Theory of Martial Arts and the anthropology of martial arts.1 It is the anthropology of the “warriors pathway,” as we can translate Budo sensu largo. Of course, Budo sensu stricto is an untranslatable concept, as a specific fragment of Japanese culture.2 Accordingly, we accept this conceptual language of the Humanistic Theory of Martial Arts and anthropology of martial arts. For instance, “Martial arts is a historic category of flawless methods of unarmed combat fights, and the use of weapons combined with a spiritual element (personal development, also in the transcendent sphere).”3 The ways of martial arts include certain forms of physical (psychophysical) culture, which, based on the tradition of warrior cultures, lead, through the training of fighting techniques, to a psychophysical improvement and self-realization. At the same time, they are the processes of education and positive ascetics. The positive asceticism combines corporal exercise with conscious self- discipline and is oriented towards moral and spiritual progress. 1 W.J.

Kickboxing Official Grading Syllabus Traditional Japanese, Chinese
Kickboxing Official grading syllabus Traditional Japanese, Chinese & Okinawan Martial arts Price £2.50 Kickboxing – A Brief history Tatsuo Yamada, who established "Nihon Kempo Karate-do", was interested in Muay Thai because he wanted to perform Karate matches with full-contact rules since practitioners are not allowed to hit each other directly in karate matches. Yamada had already announced his plan which was named "The draft principles of project of establishment of a new sport and its industrialization" in November 1959 and he proposed the tentative name of "Karate-boxing" for this new sport. Yamada started studying with a Muay Thai champion, formerly his son Kan Yamada's sparring partner. Osamu Noguchi who was a promoter of boxing and was also interested in Muay Thai took the Thai fighter and developed a combined martial art of karate and Thai boxing and creating the term kickboxing in the 1950s. In 1963 three karate fighters from Oyama dojo (Kyokushinkai Karate) went to the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Thailand, and fought against 3 Muay Thai fighters winning two of the three bouts. The three fighters' names were Tadashi Nakamura, Kenji Kurosaki and Akio Fujihira (also known as Noboru Osawa). The original kickboxing allowed throwing and butting in the beginning to distinguish it from the Muay Thai style, although this was later dropped. The Kickboxing Association, the first kickboxing sanctioning body, was founded by Osamu Noguchi in 1966 soon after that. Then the first kickboxing event was held in Osaka on the 11th April 1966. Tatsu Yamada died in 1967; his dojo changed its name to Suginami Gym, and kept sending fighters off to support kickboxing.
