For the 2020 games of the scoring system for kata 1st had to be adapted at the request of the International Olympic committee instead of a straight vote by 5 judges now a panel of referees would points for technique lettuces at a competitive event can choose which one of 102. 00 permitted causes they want to perform. But it can fascinating thing about it is that despite the fixed form i still have a huge amount of room for personal expression. Unlike most other sports a kata comes with a heritage that has been passed on over generations from master to master. It in the cockpit. But as everyone is different even though a kata has fixed routines it can always be interpreted individually making its performance unique. Then theres the evolution of a kata over time the longer you practice a kata the greater the depth and meaning you give it as you got it the point is not to check a list of a point that. Accompanies you for your entire life and thats great. The 2nd category is called an impulse sparring against an adversary at the lympics will be contested in 3 instead of the usual 5 weight divisions safety is paramount and how to control the impact on the torso is permitted but contact with opponents head must be limited to at most a skin touch the challenge in both keeping only. Under complete control while reacting with maximum technical prowess and commitment. To. Video replays for judges were introduced 5 years ago the positive evaluations the innovation was widely welcomed. At 1st sight kind of might seem similar to take one day and i would stop a list olympic discipline but there is one crucial difference to anybody with a competitive taekwondo you only use your legs cleat with karate you employ your hands to attack or a punch to the head earns 3 points into the torso 2 with one point for a push.

Fortunately we have a major problem with the rules for competitive karate. The one area to the next where are repeatedly nonuniform changes in the Japanese Federation as well as in the world karate federation. Its very confusing for africans taking part in a variety of competitions spectators who are not experts in the sport often unable to understand the new rules. But there. Is still a traditional japanese martial art in my eyes that the new generation tends to see it in sporting terms plenty of contests and awards to be won i try to unite to be traditional arts with a spirit of competition and that includes for greeting everything in karate every Training Session every fight begins and ends with respect and civility. The history of kind of day is one of migration a range of cultural influences from persia the indian subcontinent and china came together centuries ago on the island of okinawa. Under the rule of the rick you people everything connected up with the culture and the local martial art the take deep roots with a lasting legacy. You know island alone is the home of over 400 marines to gether the modern world with the traditional teaching and its venerable old masters. Or. This is dr ted so you know who come home she was i guess you know than it with a guy thing and hes written a number of books about traditional cannot say and also open the worlds 1st color to museum and his home based on his grandfathers collection of memorabilia. There korean in fact the this is a known chuckle. When i teach the old martial arts with weapons like that you know so i and. And children. And because it actually means empty hand that is no weapons. You know. Even though everyone talks about kind of head this and that but i doubt most people even know what it means. Of course its a martial art for selfdefense but when we look at the 1st character we see the simple for language what they have conflicts should have such be resolved by an idea i converse ational with your opposite number. Kind of temple so much trying to skeleton the muscles and the breathing alternately the circulation to meditation is also a factor acknowledge from Natural Healing all of that belongs to cutting that whole thing. Close hey was. Like driving the car at that happy. Talk and you know she just in say students practice late into the evening. And one even if youre competing in a tournament a real opponents somebody crossly is above all a confrontation with yourself and without fundamental faith in your own ability is any fights will be over all too quickly. Need to have a strong imagination where do you want to go what do you want to achieve this confrontation with your own self is the 1st toughest and most important fight of all. Its cold. War. You know me i need not or no i hope things wont develop like they did judo i feel lympics there no more japanese referee set the moment i mean mostly your us and our from goalie are kind of the more i pray kind of one not meet the same fate the one you know he only but thats what happens when everyones only focused on winning the meaning so if okinawas cut out teka do not prevail at the olympics it certainly doesnt mean that traditional cut it is redundant this must be clear to everyone otherwise our roots may be permanently damaged.

October 25th is kind of in japan and the big event on okinawa it commemorates the meeting of the great masters in 1906 when the last lot was officially named and its future as a competitive sport was decided erick the japanese are simply and beautiful see. If the japanese will also be favorites at their home a lympics in tokyo. A centuries old heritage is difficult for other nations to catch up. I learned the secret behind the strength of the japanese is that they pay close attention to every detail during the training and always give 100 percent. The same in order to qualify for the olympics you have to compete in the premier league every month but although the total number of participants in the premier league is limited there is no limit on the number of current take up from one country depending on their score in the case of the Olympic Games it was decided from the outset that only 10 people per nation would be allowed so just getting there is already a challenge home to me that in the competition level will be very high and not comparable to the premier league. One in every day im becoming more aware that the olympics are getting closer and closer we are the very 1st car to take will be taking this new road. That. We have nothing and nobody for orientation all we can do is true.
