Karate training in my San Francisco studio has a certain `purity' compared to other oriental martial arts. The repertoire of technique karate training employs is comparatively small: kicks, and rudimentary defenses. There are no throws, locks, or grappling techniques. Karate training rarely involves the use of weapons, either in defense or offence. A reasonably fit person can learn to do the basic moves in a few days. The purpose of karate training is to do them over and over again, until one can do them very well. Posted by Barbara It seems unlikely to me that studying or practicing Zen improves the skill of a karate training practitioner, although generations of movie makers have sought to convince the public otherwise. The connection between karate training and Zen is, as I say, a fascinating one, but beyond the scope of people that are in my San Francisco class, for instance. There is also a consensus that karate training is not about kicking and punching, but becoming a better person. Posted by Debbie Unlike other fighting methods I’ve found, karate training in San Francisco works by the delivery of a small number of forceful, knockdown blows. This is very different from more traditional sports, like boxing, for example, where the objective is to wear down one's opponent with a barrage of quick, sharp punches. Unlike the impression that people may have from television, most boxing matches at club level do not end with a knockout, but with an advantage on points. In karate training tournaments, generally there are no points for anything except a blow that would main or kill the opponent in one strike. As a result, a lot of karate training focuses on single defensive strikes followed by single decisive counter-attacks. Posted by p_worth Over the years karate training in the San Francisco classes I attend have picked up a certain amount of philosophical and social baggage. Of particular interest is the connection, for better or worse, with Zen Buddhism. Oddly this is much more prevalent in the West than in Japan. There are karate training clubs in San Francisco that make the practice of zazen (seated meditation) part of their karate training regime. Conceivably the practice of karate training helps Zen practitioners clear their minds of everyday concerns. Posted by Shelly Browse All Discussion » |
