Blog Article/Post Caveat (Read First Please: Click the Link)
It postulates that all the principles that drive karate and the martial arts lies within and we have to remove the chaff from the wheat to get the most of training and practice and to fully understand and implement principles, i.e. overlaying methodologies with principles.
We must not accumulate multiple methodologies but rather “chip away” all the things we do that fail to conform to martial principles in their purity. Pursuit of karate and martial art/excellence becomes a process of reduction, to chip away the marble excess to reveal the principles that are martial systems. In a nutshell this means we remove the technique based training and practice for self-defense and implement the finite principled-based multiple methodology model of self-defense.
This is apparent when we understand that human anatomy generates more power one way than it does another, that it bends certain ways and breaks in others, that it is vulnerable in certain respects and strong in others, etc. Strengths and weaknesses of the total human being pre-existed the emergence of karate, martial arts and karateka/martial artists.
Karate and Martial arts cannot be about accumulating practices that empower us but rather ceasing all practices that disempower us!
