The samurai army of the Shogun, perhaps considered the most ELITE warriors in the world in the 1600s, were crushed in Okinawa, shredded in Korea, and cut to mincemeat on China's eastern coast. Apparently they did not learn that the fighting arts used defensively is far more effective than these same arts used for aggression and tyranny. I think Charlie Quintard knew it too.<BR/><BR/>Re: Dirigo:<BR/><BR/>AMEN! :D<BR/><BR/>IIIAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-47733922012555421362009-03-27T22:31:00.000-05:002009-03-27T22:31:00.000-05:00QJG - I hold a first dan BB in Shot Kan Karate - d...QJG - I hold a first dan BB in Shot Kan Karate - do (SKIF) and agree 100%.

Karate was born from the very flames of tyranny, of mass disarmament and persecution.<BR/><BR/>When Okinawa was invaded and occupied by Imperial Japan in the 1600s, the shogun imposed draconian rules against weapons ownership. Anyone who was caught carrying even a dagger or hunting bow were sentenced to extremely stiff prison sentences. Possession of a sword or a firearm automatically meant death. The Japanese also cut to death freedom of speech and expression, and all Okinawans must show utmost reverence to the Japanese emperor.<BR/><BR/>However, what the Japanese failed to understand was that the Okinawans are a people who believed in freedom. They will not give up and stop fighting for what they believe in, no matter what the dangers were. From the flames of warfare and vengeance came one of the most feared fighting arts the world has ever seen. True Okinawan Karate had almost nothing to do with kicking and punching, although unarmed combat were also essential. Karate is a weapon art, skills of the anti-fascist resistance fighter. Since most martial weapons were outlawed by the tyrannical shogun, new and even more deadly weapons were constructed from anything that Okinawan freedom fighters could access. Scythes and sickles became fearsome concealed knives capable of cutting samurai armor like a scissor cutting paper. A rice harvester became the NUNCHAKU, perhaps the mainstay of every low budget, mass produced Hong Kong martial arts flicks. However, the main purpose of the Nunchaku was to immediately take down heavily armored samurai like a garrott.<BR/><BR/>The Okinawan War is long over, but it's lessons are still passed on today. Karate, a fearsome art of resistance, has morphed into many forms over the years. From the Chinese and Korean resistance fighters in World War II, American Patriots in the Revolutionary War, and the Bielski Brothers of anti-Nazi fame, they have all used one form of Karate or another during their struggle for freedom, even though they are not aware of it. Sun Tzu once said "Let the enemy supply you with weapons". That is, in fact, another tactic of Karate.<BR/><BR/>So the next time you see a school of Karate or someone talking about Karate Black Belts, always remember: true Karate has almost nothing to do with it's popular conception. It is an art that is born from the hearts of people who yearn to be free from tyranny and imperialism.<BR/><BR/><BR/>IIIAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
