    MY LIFE IN “THE WAY” by Gaylene Goodroad 1 My Life in “The Way” RENOUNCING “THE WAY” OF THE EAST “At the time of my conversion, I had also dedicated over 13 years of my life to the martial arts. Through the literal sweat of my brow, I had achieved not one, but two coveted black belts, promoting that year to second degree—Sensei Nidan. I had studied under some internationally recognized karate masters, and had accumulated a room full of trophies while Steve was stationed on the island of Oahu. “I had unwittingly become a teacher of Far Eastern mysticism, which is the source of all karate—despite the American claim to the contrary. I studied well and had been a follower of karate-do: “the way of the empty hand”. I had also taught others the way of karate, including a group of marines stationed at Pearl Harbor. I had led them and others along the same stray path of “spiritual enlightenment,” a destiny devoid of Christ.” ~ Paper Hearts, Author’s Testimony, pg. 13 AUTHOR’S NOTE: In 1992, I renounced both of my black belts, after discovering the sobering truth about my chosen vocation in light of my Christian faith. For the years since, I have grieved over the fact that I was a teacher of “the Way” to many dear souls—including children. Although I can never undo that grievous error, my prayer is that some may heed what I have written here. What you are about to read is a sobering examination of the martial arts— based on years of hands-on experience and training in karate-do—and an earnest study of the Scriptures.

By the age of 23 he had competed in England and Europe gaining many Gold, Silver and Bronze medals in numerous championships. After a two-year sojourn in New York, he went to Japan to train at the headquarters of the Japan Karate Association and stayed 10 years. During that time he completed the 3-year instructor‘s program of the JKA (only the 2nd Westerner ever to do so in its 50-year history), placed second or third in the All-Japan Championships several times (no non-Japanese had ever reached the semi-finals before), taught many classes each week over a 6-year period in the headquarters of the JKA (another first) and opened his own school in the heart of Tokyo.

  • 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.

In 1971 he made his first martial arts film, Tang Shan Daxiong, in which he played a Chinese immigrant to Thai- land who discovers that his boss is a drug-smuggling kingpin. The following year, he starred in Jing Wu Men as a martial artist who defends Chinese pride against Japanese imperialists in the International Settlement of early twentieth- century Shanghai. Because of the overwhelming popularity of both films in Hong Kong and throughout Asia, National General Pictures selected them for distribution in the United States in 1973. Tang Shan Daxiong was supposed to be released as The Chinese Connection to associate it with The French Con- nection, a mainstream hit about heroin trafficking; the title ofJing Wu Men was translated as Fist of Fury.

    INTERNATIONAL TRADITIONAL KARATE FEDERATION INTERNATIONAL OFFICE 1930 WILSHIRE BLVD., SUITE 1007 ● LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA 90057 ● U.S.A. ------- PHONE: 213/483-8262 ● FAX: 213/483-4060 ● E-MAIL: [email protected] MEDIA RELEASE For Immediate Release, November 8, 2008 JAPAN’S LIVING LEGEND DIES AT 80 (Los Angeles, CA) The International Traditional Karate Federation (ITKF) is in mourning today following the passing of their President and Chairman, Hidetaka Nishiyama at the age of 80. Mr. Nishiyama was a world renowned karate master well known for his steadfast dedication to the preservation and protection of the Martial Art of Traditional Karate. “Mr. Nishiyama passed away peacefully following his struggle with cancer”, a family spokesperson said. Mr. Nishiyama dedicated his life to the Budo principles on which his beloved Martial Art of Traditional Karate is based. As a Charter Member of the Japan Karate Association and founding President of the Japan Karate Association International of America and the International Traditional Karate Federation, his influence on the modern day practice of Traditional Karate is unparalleled. “He was truly one of a kind”, said Acting ITKF Chairman, Rick Jorgensen. “He has greatly influenced and impacted the lives of those who practice Traditional Karate.” “His vision was very broad. It included people of all ages and all styles of karate”, said Jorgensen. “Sensei Nishiyama strongly held the belief that the Martial Art of Traditional Karate was a path of self development. School children, adults and seniors can use the principles of Traditional Karate to achieve their highest potential through the human development of mind, body and spirit.
