P: Antes de subir al ring me pongo nervioso porque nunca sabes lo que va a pasar y siempre quieres hacerlo lo mejor posible, pero una vez ya en el ring los nervios pasan. ¿Qué consejos os ha dado vuestro padre para es- tar tranquilos y que el temor que podáis sentir no os vaya en contra? D: Son muchos consejos, depende del combate, de la situación, del nivel y del rival. P: Que sobre todo no me presione, y que lo más importante es disfrutar de la experiencia.

  • T Oshiro Yamanni
    An Interview with Sensei Toshihiro Oshiro Oshiro Toshihiro: The Way of Yamanni-ryu by Dong Tran Dong Tran: When and where were you born? Toshihiro Oshiro: I was born May 1st, 1949 in Haneji, Okinawa, Japan. DT: When did you begin training in karate? Did your youth revolve around martial arts? TO: I started when I was sixteen. But in actuality, when I was eight or nine in elementary school my sempai already taught me karate and bojutsu. So you can say I already began at age eight. But it's not similar to the way you practice in the dojo today; it's more like kids playing baseball or basketball, that kind of thing. DT: Was it called Shorin-ryu then? TO: No. I wish I could remember the kata they taught me. It was a mixture of Pinan and Naihanchi katas but I don't know who made that kata. After WWII many Okinawan karate practitioners were prisoners of war and one of the stockades was near Haneji so I guess one of them taught karate to our town people. DT: Who was your first karate sensei? Did you also train with Nagamine Shoshin sensei? Did you teach at his dojo? TO: My first and main karate sensei was Shima Masao sensei. One year after I joined his dojo, he recommended that I go train at the hombu (HQ) dojo. When I made shodan I became assistant instructor and then instructor. But leading a class is not the same thing as teaching. They are two entirely different things! Shima sensei taught me from the Fukyu gata to Chinto.

Gustav Mahler ©Northern Karate Schools 2017 FOUR BLACK BELT LEVELS AND THE TITLE “SENSEI” by Hanshi Cezar Borkowski Karate students and instructors often confuse the terms Black Belt and Sensei. Sensei is commonly used to mean teacher however, the literal translation of the word is one who has gone before. Quite simply, that means an instructor who has experienced certain things and shares what he/she has learned with others - a tour guide along the road of martial arts life.

  • Rules and Options
    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).

  • International Ryukyu Kobudo Federation
    International Ryukyu Kobudo Federation N A T I O E R N T A N L I RYUKYU F E KOBUDO N D O E R A T I Ryukyu Kobudo is the practice of martial arts weapons that developed in the Ryukyu Islands. The Ryukyu Islands are a chain of islands extending southwest from the southern end of Kyushu Island in Japan. Notable islands include Okinawa and Hama Higa Islands. The kata names originate from the Kyushu island or village where they s nd developed, or from the master that is sla u I ky credited with the kata. yu R Okinawa Short History Okinawa is the largest island in the Ryukyu Island chain. Both Japanese and Chinese settlers have been there since around 300 BC. By 1340 AD. three kingdoms exist in the Ryukyu Islands, Hokuzan, Chuzan, and Nazan. These three kingdoms are at war with each other for dominance of the island chain. It is at this time that trade begins with China. In 1393 AD. China sends a large group of people to Okinawa as part of the cultural exchange. Included in this group are monks from the Shaolin Temple. This begins the combination of Shaolin Kung Fu with Okinawan Te. In 1429 AD. The Ryukyu Islands are united under one king. The kingdom prospers due to the trade with all of Asia. In 1447 AD. King Sho Shin bans all weapons from civilians to keep the peace. This is the first “Weaponless Period”. In 1609 AD. the Satsuma clan invades the Ryukyu Islands and captures the King.

  • The Shorin-Ryu Shorinkan of Williamsburg
    Shorin-Ryu of Williamsburg The Shorin-Ryu Karate of Williamsburg Official Student Handbook Student Name: _________________________________________ Do not duplicate 1 Shorin-Ryu of Williamsburg General Information We are glad that you have chosen our school to begin your or your child’s journey in the martial arts. This handbook contains very important information regarding the guidelines and procedures of our school to better inform you of expectations and procedures regarding training. The quality of instruction and the training at our dojo are of the highest reputation and are designed to bring the best out of our students. We teach a code of personal and work ethics that produce citizens of strong physical ability but most importantly of high character. Students are expected to train with the utmost seriousness and always give their maximum physical effort when executing techniques in class. Instructors are always observing and evaluating our students based on their physical improvements but most of all, their development of respect, courtesy and discipline. Practicing karate is very similar to taking music lessons- there are no short cuts. As in music, there are people that possess natural ability and others that have to work harder to reach goals. There are no guarantees in music instruction that say someone will become a professional musician as in karate there are no guarantees that a student will achieve a certain belt. This will fall only on the student and whether they dedicate themselves to the instruction given to them. Our school does not offer quick paths to belts for a price as many commercial schools do.

  • Welch's Okinawa Karate-Do
    Dear Sensei and Karateka: It is an honor to be hosting our annual Spring National Training Camp here in Williamsburg, Virginia. The format of this camp will follow our previous gasshuku and cover topics of kihon, Shorin-Ryu kata, kobudo, kumite (iri-kumi and sport kumite) and application. This is an outstanding opportunity for students of all styles of Okinawa Karate to train together and we hope this experience will create new friendships. The purpose of a gasshuku is to evaluate and strengthen the skills and curriculum areas of all members and to also create opportunities for karateka to grow. As there are no “spectators” or seniors standing on the sidelines in the dojo on Okinawa, we will hope that every participant will represent themselves, their style and their teacher by training on the floor. It is all too common for individuals to attend camps just to have picture opportunities with famous karate sensei but do very little training. I hope that everyone will push themselves and each other to complete the training with tremendous spirit and effort. We look forward to training with you and sharing knowledge at this special event! If there are any questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected] or (757-870- 0311) Camp Director, John Spence, United States Hombu-Cho, Shorin-Ryu Butokukan ジョン スペンス 北米 支部 道場 沖縄空手道小林流武徳館 Shorin-Ryu Karate of Williamsburg Proudly Presents 2017 Spring Training Camp When: May 5, 6, 7, 2017 Where: Matoaka Elementary Gymnasium, 4001 Brick Bat Road, Williamsburg, Virginia 23188 What: Camp classes will consist of kihon, Shorin-Ryu kata, kobudo, kumite (iri-kumi and sport kumite) and application.
