The Hidden Answers to the Secrets of Shotokan Karate Shotokan Mysteries: The Hidden Answers to the Secrets of Shotokan Karate 260 pages / 2013 / Shotokan Mysteries: The Hidden Answers to the Secrets of Shotokan Karate / 1483612384, 9781483612386 / Xlibris Corporation LLC, 2013 / Kousaku Yokota / Introduction: My first book, Shotokan Myths, was published in 2010 and to my great pleasure it has received a lot of positive feedback from many readers. Some sent me emails and told me that this book gave them a different perspective to their training. One reader in Australia, Ms. Astrid Meid, called it her karate Bible which almost embarrassed me and here is what she wrote; "I have been using your book like a karate bible, I open any page and read from there, it has helped me to open my mind further as I try to understand and look beyond the meaning and continually question karate as such, in life, in spirit, and of course the techniques, I am find myself asking myself questions about technique applications and looking for any possible way to combat that technique, it is very good for me mentally. A great book, one of those that you can open any page, read just that page and then put the book down." Another reader from the UK, Ms. Moley Walsh, also gave me a very nice compliment; "I found this book to be the most educational karate book I have ever read. I found it extremely interesting and have learned so much more than I expected. I read this book in awe just by knowing that the information you have written must have taken you hundreds and hundreds of man hours to research to which you kindly decided to share with the rest of us karate-ka. It was a very enjoyable read and has given me plenty more to think about. All of your answers have turned into many more questions, but questions I never even thought about until now, and so this gives me even more to research. I thank you personally for the book and think that you have done an incredible job in putting all of this together. I do not have a bad thing to say about it. I was trying to see which chapter I enjoyed the most, but I don't have one, I simply could not put the book down." Those readers realized there were many "facts" and "truths" that were hidden or taken for granted and those subjects needed to be questioned. They said what I shared in the book made sense. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the readers who took time to read my first book as well as those who purchased this one which covers many other subjects that I could not put in my first book. My second book, Shotokan Mysteries, contains the following interesting subjects. Chapter 1. Funakoshi's New Techniques Chapter 2. The Mysteries of Heian Kata Chapter 3. Heian Bunkai Mysteries Chapter 4. Mikazuki Geri, An Extinct Kick? Chapter 5. Disparity Between Kata And Kumite Chapter 6. Why Uchi Uke? Chapter 7. Does Shotokan Lack Circular Techniques? Chapter 8. Straight Techniques in Circular Movements Chapter 9. Unstable Balance Chapter 10. Gravitation, Your Enemy? Chapter 11. Karate Master Chapter 12. Shu Ha Ri Chapter 13. Tenketsu Jutsu (Dim mak) Epilogue: The Last Samurai I cannot believe that three years have passed since the publication of Shotokan Myths. Many have been asking for my second book and I wanted to publish this much sooner but it took three years. Those were very busy years but also exciting and productive ones for me. Let me talk a little about myself and some of the experiences from my early days. During my early years of training I was like those readers who wrote and shared their karate lives with me. I was a diligent and blindly dedicated student who never questioned. When a sensei said jump", my response was "How high?" Of course, the only answer we could give to a sensei in Japan was "Osu". As I got older and had my own students, many questions came to mind. But I had no place to go or anyone knowledgeable to ask so I had to do my own investigation and research. For the first time I started to look into the history of Okinawan karate as well as the teaching of other styles.

  • Keinosuke Enoeda Sensei
    Beckie Challans Life of a Karate Master – Keinosuke Enoeda Sensei Born on July 4th, 1935, in Kyushu, South Japan, Keinosuke Enoeda was widely known as ‘Tora’ – or, the Tiger. Gaining this nickname, through his reputation and skill as a competitive and extremely successful Karateka. It is not surprising that Enoeda Sensei was so highly revered by his fellow martial artists. Sensei first started out as a martial artist at the age of seven, when he took up Judo, alongside other massively popular activities in Japan at the time; Kendo, and baseball. He proved to be very skilled, and the art came naturally to him, allowing him to achieve the grade of Nidan at the age of just sixteen, laying the foundations for his future life in the martial art world. Not long after achieving this grade, however, Enoeda Sensei found himself at a Karate demonstration, held at Takushoku University, and showcasing two of the main instructors of that group – Senseis Okazaki and Irea. He found himself to be inspired by what he saw that day, and upon enrolling on a degree in Economics, he joined the group, and began to train in Shotokan Karate. After just 2 years of tuition from instructors such as Okazaki and Irea, and even Sensei Gichin Funakoshi himself, Enoeda was awarded with his Shodan, the first of the eight dan grades he would achieve over his lifetime. A further 2 years saw him take on the role of Captain for the competition team associated with the university, which allowed him to enter a large number of competitions for the university, in particular within the kumite division of the JKA All-Japan Championships.

  • LION December 2019
    The Lion ! The official magazine of the Chiltern Karate Association December 2019 Takuya Taniyama 1965 - present Foreword…. Osu! Welcome to the December 2019 edition of The Lion! The front-page features another of giants of Shotokan karate – Takuya Taniyama Sensei. Born in 1965, he was a student of Takushoku university. At the age of 25 yrs old he graduated from the JKA Instructors course and became a full-time Honbu dojo instructor. A kumite specialist, he won the all Japan Karate Championships for kata in 1995, 1996, 1998 and 2001 and then decided to concentrate on kata. And then something extraordinary happened…. Taniyama entered the kumite competition of the 50th JKA championships, and at the relatively (in elite competition terms) of 42 years old….he won! Members of the CKA were fortunate to train with Taniyama Sensei in Tokyo in 2018, at the Takushoku University. My heartfelt thanks to you all for the support you have shown myself & the CKA during 2019. Without the commitment of you, the students, the CKA could not continue to thrive & flourish. 2020 looks set to be a bumper year for the CKA, with many guest instructors in the pipeline, access to external competitions and, of course, the annual BBQ!

  • 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.
