Mastering karate- here is small trick

My grandfather had the habit of keeping track of the total duration for which each and every electrical appliance in our house had been used. Needless to say, he became an object of ridicule for our family members who believed that this was taking things a bit too far. He even set up pop up stands that he would anticipate the electricity bill. He invariably had the right figure at the end of the month without the use of any fancy of calculators.

Consistency and discipline matter a lot

Trying to master karate is like trying to climb Mount Everest. You would have to spend many years training yourself before you can even think of st​arting out to achieve your goals. Merely having good intentions and motivation is not enough to climb Mount Everest successfully. The same logic applies to karate as well. Consistency is important. Missing even one training session is not advisable. It is not as if you cannot catch up if you miss a training session. However, you will be giving into your tendency to be casual about important things when you miss the training session.

The father of Karate-do: Kyokushin

Kiokushinkay (Kyokushin kaikan) is a style of karate, created by Masutastu Oyama back in 1964. In a literal translation form Japanese “Kyokushin Karate” means “society of the supreme truth.” The philosophy of this karate style lies in self-mastery, discipline, determination and hard training. This is a full-contact karate style, which has managed to attract more than 12 million people worldwide in the past 40 years. Kyokushin manages to influence many full-contact karate schools by bringing realism and mental stability into karate.

To Karate or Not Karate

When Karate was first thrown open to the world, I remember it as a fighting mechanism where one person could take on an army, beat them to pulp in lightening moves and come out unscathed. In fact, there were a lot of fly by night operators who even taught half-baked and so called Karate styles without really being qualified to do so. One must understand that Karate is a way of life, a discipline, which harnesses one’s inner strength along More

Karate – passive offence

The origins of karate are lost in the mists of time. However, it is strongly believed that it originated in the southern parts of India from where it moved to present day Nepal and Tibet, from where it reached Japan where it was taught in the monasteries. It is from here that Karate as we know it today attained its present day popularity. It was, and continues to this day, popular in the monasteries, as monks were not allowed to More

Comparing Martial Arts – Important To Focus On Similarities

I have always been an enthusiast of Karate. However, I have not committed a common mistake that other enthusiasts commit - to presume that Karate is superior to all other martial arts forms in the world. To compare Karate with Jujitsu is like trying to compare diesel Swindon with diesel purchased from any other region or county.

At the end of the day, it is diesel and is used to power vehicles. In the same way, the function of the More

The Importance Of Impact Training In Karate

I was with a friend of mine who is a black belt in karate as he was looking for lofts east London when I asked him what was the key to his success as a martial artist? He smiled at me and said “impact training.

He explained that part of the reason why a number of persons in martial arts are not effective and have poor technique is that they do not do effective impact training. The problems stems from More

Keep fit karate

I was inspired to take up karate by all those great martial arts movies of the 1980s. Even now, I often imagine myself facing a room full of black-clad ninjas when I’m practising my moves alone! But you don’t have to a karate kid trapped in a man’s body to enjoy this great sport.
I’ve seen karate advertised as a good way of learning self defence tactics; in fact there are custom stickers advertising classes of this nature all over More
