training

today was the usual martial arts/boxing stuff.  started off warming up with biking, mobility, running, and footwork drills. Then jumped straight to drills with some of my training buddies. Tra(kyokushin),bullet(shorin ryu karate/freestyle),shon(wrestling shorin ryu karate),Eric(boxing),and a new guy named antonio were there. 

I jumped straight to drilling with Eric. Basic 1-2-3 combos, we would switch off between each other. Did that for around 3-5 minutes, then after that went with shon. WE started off same. basic 1-2′s, 1-2-3′s. But then eventually started building on top of that, we would do different defensive maneuvers, add counters etc. After that we would do intercepting punch drills, where we would time specific punches with 2-3 move counters.Trying to get used to interrupting peoples combos, punching inbetween punches if you will.  That was really good stuff. Then afterwards we did pressure drills. Where we would put forward rushing pressure on each other(lots of pushing and shoving), and the other person would have to neutralize it someway(btw shon is 400 lbs and incredibly powerful, so this was hard af).  I would use a lot of angled and circular moving with lots of flurries of punches to the body, even would do bits of clinching and stuffing the pressure to slow him down, so more of a boxing approach if you will. the next few rush downs we added basic front punches, to up the anti. I switched from a boxing approach to a more karate based approach and did lots of redirecting, open hand blocks, etc to slow the momentum. It was incredibly tiring, but its so good. It really helps push the cardio, strengthen and harden your body. Even when your applying pressure to the other person they are hitting your body/limbs(no headshots) at full force so it def toughens you up.  After that did basic kickboxing and some freestyle striking sparring with Tra, bullet, and anotonio. Tbh after dealing with shon for the better part of an hour, dealing with everyone else was very easy. Antonio is a wingchun/muay thai dude. Very interesting combo, very good at mixing the rolling punches of wingchun with more boxing/MT straight punches along with elbows, and kicks. He wasnt very physically powerful, easily coulda just applied more strength and overwhelm, but I kept it light so we could match up tech/skill. He’s really good.  Overall great session.

The 10 Precepts of Anko Itosu

In 1908, Anko Itosu, the Okinawan master responsible for introducing karate to schools on Okinawa, wrote a letter in which laid out 10 precepts for the study of karate. The precepts remain relevant to our study today and highlight that there is a difference between the child's art taught in schools (and often the foundation of the arts taught in the US), and the deeper meaning and intent of Okinawan karate. Itosu was a direct student of Bushi Matsumura, the founder of the Shorin Ryu and Hakutsuru systems.

Note, there is some historical context necessary to understand some of Itosu's points. When he started teaching karate in schools, the intent was to improve the health of students and to provide a clear and efficient path to those students joining the Japanese military - which was important at that point in Japan's history.

Below is the translation of the relevant part of Itosu's 1908 letter.

Karate did not develop from Buddhism or Confucianism. In the past the Shorin-ryu school and the Shorei-ryu school were brought to Okinawa from China . Both of these schools have strong points and I therefore list them below just as they are without embellishment.

 1. Karate is not merely practiced for your own benefit; it can be used to protect one's family or master. It is not intended to be used against a single assailant but instead as a way of avoiding injury by using the hands and feet should one by any chance be confronted by a villain or ruffian.

 2. The purpose of karate is to make the muscles and bones hard as rock and to use the hands and legs as spears. If children were to begin training naturally in military prowess while in elementary school, then they would be well suited for military service. Remember the words attributed to the Duke of Wellington after he defeated Napoleon, "Today's battle was won on the playing fields of our schools".

 3. Karate cannot be quickly learned. Like a slow moving bull, it eventually travels a thousand leagues. If one trains diligently for one or two hours every day, then in three or four years one will see a change in physique. Those who train in this fashion will discover the deeper principles of karate.

 4. In karate, training of the hands and feet are important, so you should train thoroughly with a sheaf of straw (#). In order to do this, drop your shoulders, open your lungs, muster your strength, grip the floor with your feet, and concentrate your energy into your lower abdomen. Practice using each arm one to two hundred times each day.

 5. When you practice the stances of karate, be sure to keep your back straight, lower your shoulders, put strength in your legs, stand firmly, and drop your energy into your lower abdomen.

 6. Practice each of the techniques of karate repeatedly. Learn the explanations of every technique well, and decide when and in what manner to apply them when needed. Enter, counter, withdraw is the rule for torite.

 7. You must decide if karate is for your health or to aid your duty.

 8. When you train, do so as if on the battlefield. Your eyes should glare, shoulders drop, and body harden. You should always train with intensity and spirit as if actually facing the enemy, and in this way you will naturally be ready.

 9. If you use up your strength to excess in karate training, this will cause you to lose the energy in your lower abdomen and will be harmful to your body. Your face and eyes will turn red. Be careful to control your training.

 10. In the past, many masters of karate have enjoyed long lives. Karate aids in developing the bones and muscles. It helps the digestion as well as the circulation. If karate should be introduced, beginning in the elementary schools, then we will produce many men each capable of defeating ten assailants.

If the students at teacher training college learn karate in accordance with the above precepts and then, after graduation, disseminate this to elementary schools in all regions, within 10 years karate will spread all over Okinawa and to mainland Japan. Karate will therefore make a great contribution to our military. I hope you will seriously consider what I have written here - Anko Itosu, October 1908
