The Philosophy of Karate in Terms of the Dojo-Kun and the Niju-Kun on the Example of Style Shotokan
THE PHILOSOPHY OF KARATE IN TERMS OF THE DOJO-KUN AND THE NIJU-KUN ON THE EXAMPLE OF STYLE SHOTOKAN dr Paweł Adam Piepiora*, dr Zbigniew Norbert Piepiora** Introduction While studying the martial art relationship between the philosophical and mental aspects of art is inevitable. It grows along with the use of the selected art. It is mutual. It is reinforced and developed. The result can be a philosophy of life, for which training is essential. The real karate (the literal translation of karate – the way of the empty hand) is not indicating who is better and who is worse. The karate is a method of self-defense, in which there are not used other weapons outside own body. Systematic training of arms and legs means that they can repel any attack with equal efficiency using real weapon1. In the end, the karate is a martial art serving the character’s development by training in such way that karateka would be able to overcome every obstacle, regardless of its character2. The philosophy of karate is based on knowledge of Okinawan masters of martial arts and close links between the physical and mental aspects of this art, which are derived from Budo (martial way)3. The philosophy of karate can have a huge impact on the daily life of an individual. Each variety of karate specifies the ethical rules. They differ in details, but maintain a certain standard canon, resulting from a common core of the East Asian culture4. In the shotokan style are two codes described by Gichin Funakoshi. They are pillars of shotokan style. -
Tsutomo Ohshima
Meeting the Masters: Tsutomo Ohshima Over my 50+ years of training in budo, I have been lucky enough to meet or train under many notable martial artists. This year, I want to share my impressions, some deep set, some fleeting, about the men and women I met on the way. My Shotokan sensei was looking for further training and weighing the virtues of the JKA (Japan Karate Association) against those of Tsutomo Ohshima’s SKA (Shotokan Karate of America). Ohshima Sensei was the founder of Shotokan in the USA and had trained under Gichin Funakoshi as a university student whenever Funakoshi visited his dojo. His Shotokan was different from the JKA’s, which had been strongly influenced by the developments of Gichin’s son Yoshitaka “Gigo” Funakoshi. Ohshima Sensei (b. 1930) impressed me in several small ways. First, as I came out of the locker room, I saw him practicing in front of a mirror. Here was the most senior Shotokan person in the country practicing not a kata, not a portion of a kata, not a basic kick or hand movement, but a simple front stance. Second, during our class, Ohshima talked a lot about ki, something that was very much in vogue during the 1970s. He said that big guys like my sensei would probably never need to develop internal power, but smaller guys would profit from cultivating it. He did not explain it, but demonstrated a simple double lapel release. He asked Elliott, the assistant instructor, to grab both of his lapels as strongly as he could. -

The purpose of this study is to examine the direct influence of karateka (karate practitioner) Gichin Funakoshi on Jig- oro Kano, the founder of judo, and the founders of Korea’s national sport, taekwondo, especially Won Kuk Lee and Byung Jick Ro. Kano founded Seiryoku zen’yō Kokumin Taiiku (National Physical Education According to the Principle of Best Use of Energy) in 1924, but the movements seemed to have been greatly influenced by Karate. This study takes up two questions: First, how did Gichin Funakoshi influence Jigoro Kano. And second, how did Gichin Funakoshi influence taekwondo leaders. Method. This study is historical research based on relevant data analysis. In the question 1, the solo moves of Shotokan karate-do with the seiryoku zen’yō kokumin taiiku style were compared. In the question 2, literature and newspaper articles about karate and taekwondo from Korea and Japan are analyzed to investigate the motivations, objectives, and beliefs of Funakoshi and early Korean taekwondo leaders for their martial arts practice. -

Shotokan Datoer
SHOTOKAN RELATERTE VIKTIGE DATOER 1372- Det tidligste tidspunktet for nedtegnelser av kampkunst på Okinawa. 1390 tallet- 36 kinesiske familier med yrke som båtbyggere ankom Okinawa og introduserte Kinesisk kampkunst. 1429- Kong Sho Hashi (1372-1439) samler Okinawa til ett rike og forbyr krigerklassen å bære våpen. Ca 1500- Kong Sho Hashi konfiskerer alle våpen på Okinawa 1609- samuraier fra Satsuma klanen iverksetter en 40 dager lang kampanje mot Okinawa og iverksatte igjen forbud mot alle våpen. De nedla Kongens sverdsmie i Shuri og tok den ploitiske kontrollen på Øygruppen. Dette skjøt fart i kampkunstens utvikling. 1735- Sakugawa fra Akata som studerte Kinesisk boksing returnerte til Okinawa for å undervise. 1785- Shiodaira fra Shuri nedtegner et referat fra en oppvisning som skal ha funnet sted med den kinesiske militærattacheen Kushanku. Det finnes nedtegnelser som tyder på at Kushanku ikke er en person men en referanse til en militær grad. 1809- Sokon Matsumura blir født i Shuri. Kilder varierer veldig fra 1798 og oppover, men vestlige historikere regner denne datoen som mest korrekt av kildene. 1816- 19. oktober. Kaptein Basil Hall på HMS Lyra beskriver i boken sin ”Account of a voyage of discovery to the west coast of Cora and the great Looo-Choo island” en Shizoku som viste en uventet spesiell kampkunst. 1827/28- Yasutsune Azato blir født. Han begynner seinere å studere kampkunst under Sokon Matsumura. 1830/32- Yasutsune Itosu blir født. Han begynner seinere å studere kampkunst under Gusukuma fra Tomari. 1837- Den legendariske konkurransen mellom Matsumura og Uehara finner sted på Kinbu kirkegården. Funakoshi refererer til denne historien i 2 av sine bøker, og trekker den frem som det ultimate målet med karate; vinne over en fiende uten å slåss. -

History of Shotokan Karate
History of Shotokan Karate An accurate, well documented, history of Shotokan karate is difficult to establish due to the decimation of Okinawa during World War II. Most of the documented history we have today has been passed down through word of mouth or substantiated using secondary documentation. However, there are four common theories addressing the development of karate, they are: • Karate developed from unarmed fighting traditions developed by the Okinawan peasantry. • Karate was primarily influenced by the Chinese fighting arts. • Due to the ban of weapons instituted in 1507 by the Okinawan king Sho Shin, wealthy Okinawans had a need to defend their property. • Karate was developed by Okinawan law enforcement and security personnel after Satsuma invaded Okinawa in 1609 and banned all weapons. It’s most likely, however, that each of the above influenced the development of Shotokan karate. Early development can be traced back to Chinese fighting arts. The most popular being Gonfu (kunfu). Of all the Gonfu styles that may have influenced our Shotokan karate, it seems that White Crane gonfu, developed by Fang Qiniang, a young girl who grew up in Yongchun, China, appears to have had the greatest influence on the development of modern day karate. Master Funakoshi believed that karate developed as an indigenous Okinawan martial art. Satunushi “Tode” Sakugawa was the first teacher in the Shotokan lineage who made specific contributions to the karate we study today. Though his techniques were primarily based on White Crane Chuan Fa, Sakugawa is credited with developing Kusanku kata, the basis for our Kankudai and Kankusho katas, the first set of dojo kun, and the concept of “hikite”, opposite or pullback hand. -

Gichin Funakoshi Founder of Shotokan Karate
" The ultimate aim of the art of Karate lies not in victory or defeat, but in the perfection of character of its participants." Gichin Funakoshi Founder of Shotokan Karate BENEFITS OF SHOTOKAN KARATE: Builds self-esteem Enhances flexibility Improves coordination & balance Maximizes cardio-respiratory fitness Promotes discipline Teaches self defense What is Shotokan Karate? Karate means "empty (Kara) hand(tae)", and Karate-do translates to "the way of Karate". Shotokan Karate is a weaponless martial art that is founded on the basic techniques of punching, striking, kicking and blocking, yet there is a deeper aspect to serious Karate training which deals with character development. Shotokan Karate is a way for an individual to realize greater potential and expand the limits of that individual's physical and mental capabilities. Karate in an excellent, time- proven method of personal development. Shotokan Karate is a traditional Japanese Martial Art founded by Master Gichin Funakoshi. Shotokan Karate remains firmly rooted in a strong martial arts tradition, emphasizing lifetime training for a healthy mind and body, rather than strictly as a sport. History: Shotokan (松濤館 Shōtōkan?) is a style of karate, developed from various martial arts by Gichin Funakoshi (1868–1957) and his son Gigo (Yoshitaka) Funakoshi (1906–1945). Gichin was born in Okinawa and is widely credited with popularizing "karate do" through a series of public demonstrations, and by promoting the development of university karate clubs, including those at Keio, Waseda, Hitotsubashi (Shodai), Takushoku, Chuo, Gakushuin, and Hosei. Funakoshi had many students at the university clubs and outside dojos, who continued to teach karate after his death in 1957. -
Doshi Kai Handbook
Doshi-Kai Shotokan Karate Member Handbook The Doshi-Kai Shotokan Karate Member Handbook Version 1.0 Matsuyama Sensei President - Doshi-Kai Shotokan Karate Dojo Email: [email protected] Web Site: www.doshikai.net Author: Barry Poitras, [email protected] Doshi-Kai Shotokan Karate Member Handbook Introduction This handbook is written to provide a valuable reference for dojo members. It is a guide for new students to assist in understanding basic concepts, commands, and dojo ettiquette. What is Shotokan Karate-do? Shotokan Karate was founded by Grandmaster Gichin Funakoshi who studied Te under Grandmaster Itosu and Grandmaster Higaonna in Okinawa. Back then, Karate was called Te (hand), and different types of Te were studied in various areas of Okinawa. Grandmaster Funakoshi was the first Karate-ka to introduce Te to mainland Japan. He demonstrated his Karate at the physical education Expo held in Tokyo in 1921. Funakoshi was supposed to stay for only a short period of time, but Jigoro Kano, the Grandmaster Gichin Funakoshi founder of Judo, was impressed by Funakoshi’s Karate, and persuaded him to stay longer to teach Karate at the Kodokan (the Mecca of Judo). After Grandmaster Funakoshi taught at the Kodokan, he started teaching privately at Meisei Juku where he stayed. At the request of college students, he began to teach Karate at several colleges, including Waseda University, with Master Noguchi and Master Watanabe, Keio University with Master Obata, and Taku Shoku University, with Master Nakayama. Around this time, he changed the writing of Karate in Chinese characters from “Karate” (Chinese Hand) to “Karate” (Empty Hand).
