Ted Gambordella has his own website. Checked him out. He appears to be a sucsesful businessman. June 8, at am. I would venture, in my humble opinion, that this IS in fact karate. As much as any other aspect or viewpoint.

The idea of refraining from harming others, even those who may in the eyes of some deserve it, is a noble one which I agree with and wish everyone the world over subscribed to. But I do believe that many erroneously see karate as a moral guidebook that incorporates these additional ethical stances that were possibly never intended, and certainly don't exist in comparable systems. Don't get me wrong, I think these ideals are fantastic and should be more widely taught in martial arts and indeed everywhere else, but I don't believe they are such an indigenous part of karate that they make a kekato-geri to an unconscious assailant as wrong as it may be NOT karate.

As an aside, we also don't know who the book was intended for this is a longshot, but just to illustrate my point Ok, its probably intended to be read by an everyday person who may be accosted by a thug on the street in which case, behaving in a manner described in the book blurs the line somewhat between you and the thug.

But what if the book was being read by a soldier- an infantryman destined for Iraq or Afghanistan who's job it is to protect the many by fighting the few; a few who's aim will undoubtedly be to kill him? When facing such a situation brushing aside the issue of why he does not have his weapon , would kicking his opponent in the spine still not be considered karate?

Even though the alternative is certain death from an opponent whom at that moment you are the only thing standing between him and doing more harm to other people? June 21, at am. July 12, at am.

There were bandits, rapists and even worse, there was no such thing as , and the police, if any existed, were there to protect the wealthy and powerful, and to put down the rest of us. Karate, along with the other forms, was created to enable the targets of violent assault to meet that violence with greater violence, to meet murderous assault with faster — and deadlier — response.

Unfortunately, many who know karate only in its more recent, tournament form, rulebound and with all its most destructive and deadly techniques forbidden, view it as a contest in courtesy and gentility. There have been great karate masters — notably Sensei Seikichi Toguchi, who both valued and taught courtesy and respect, but who viewed those characteristics as proper lifestyle elements especially for martial artists who had achieved mastery of those most violent, destructive and deadly techniques, not as substitutes for them.

The defenders of the Reich are pouring intense fire down upon us from heavy machine guns and mortars. Karate had its origins in deadly violence. Its original techniques, like its original intents, were intensely violent. To pretend otherwise is to ignore history. I have no quarrel with anyone who prefers to study karate techniques and then to decline to use them to their fullest potential.

As for me, if I am being subjected to deadly attack, with help from the nearest SWAT team mere hours away, I will feel no compunction whatever against using the most destructive and deadly techniques in my personal arsenal, until the threat has been neutralized. To each his own, as far as utilization of the art is concerned. But again, it is simply wrong to claim that deadly violence was not at the start -- and at the heart -- of the Okinawan combat form which came to be known as karate.

July 25, at am. This is a really old article, but comments keep pouring in. Okinawa is such a small island and 2. Kill somebody and you will quickly have fifty relatives to that guy hunting you down in no time, resulting in a vicious cycle of revenge. Teach the guy a lesson instead, and he will be too humiliated to ever mention the incident to anyone!

August 16, at am. I'm laughing! Before being pointlessly violent these techniques are almost impossible to apply in a real fight!

And the photos are amazing! Thank you! PS: sorry for my English. August 16, at pm. Karate IS violent, any martial art is violent. A wingchun master once said this: Self-defence is only an illusion, a dark cloak beneath which lurks a razor-sharp dagger waiting to be plunged into the first unwary victim.

Whoever declares that any weapon manufactured today,whether it be a nuclear missile or a. He is either a liar or is deceiving himself. Wing Chun kung fu is a very sophisticated weapon — nothing else.

It is a science of combat, the intent of which is the total incapacitation of an opponent. It is straightforward, efficient and deadly. It would bebetter for you to master the art of invisibility. September 19, at pm. I think one of the misunderstandings about the martial arts has to do with the goal of each martial art. Basically, Self-defense is different from Dueling and different from Combat. Combat is war, and anything goes, so mostly it's weapons and killing, if needed, your enemy.

Dueling can have many levels of violence. Self-defense is the opposite, the goal is to survive the fight, not to prolong it or to engage in "dick sizing contests".

Karate faals somewhere between self-defense and dueling or "fighting" if you will, with rules and expectations. It's a civilian system. It is meant not to kill -although it can - but to survive.

It is not meant to WIN. Like most chinese civilian systems ie. You guys should read Rory Miller's Meditations on Violence. November 10, at am. Late to the part i know November 30, at pm. Hello to all my fellow martial artist and karateka espesially. This is a very interesting discussion. Im a war vet having served 8 yrs in the Army and a tour of duty in Iraq during operarion iraq freedom 2. I was there when it was still a conflict smile. I was a convoy security gunner and a military bodyguard.

I am also a trained shuri ryu black belt under Shihan Chester Richardson who is a trained police officer and has used his skill many rimes in the streets. On one occassion my sensei severly cripple a man trying to rob him after his shift was over. His karate skill was brutal , lethal and made for the streets. He made sure to teach us the philisophical and meditative npart of traditional karate as well but as a teacher he made sure his students who were young inner city youth could protect themselves and family should the need arise.

Living in the ghetto as a youth Ive used the pratical side of karate many times and because of good tradional hardcore training Im still nhere thank God. Real karate is grimy and ugly and in its most extreme usage for the sake of survival it can be a tool for survival and yes killing. Im not telling you what I heard. Sadly my friends Im telling Im telling you what I know.

Old school karate is definitly the truth. In the spirit of true karate and to every warrior who has graced this page Whitey Mc. January 26, at pm. Karate as it is taught today is often times not deadly at all. Most of the old principles and ways of using waza was kept away from the public and the Japanese.

In many occasions but certainly not always something as simple as a swift toe to the groin would stop an attacker, and they will live to tell the story and may learn something from the experience.

You don't need fancy moves that should kill, you need moves that work! Move that work without injuring too much.

Ask your sensei and don't try that stuff. August 9, at am. Very interesting discussion much more so than the book. I for one am more than interested in learning as many aspects of karate as possible provided the source is of good quality. As far as the actual application, all I can say is Ive been in 3 really really tough spots. Once I was being attacked in a store I worked near my dojo during summer, all I did was break the counter and chase the thug away.

Pure smoke and mirrors no punches no one was hurt. But, had I not done something I could have been stabbed. Another time 3 guys tried to mug me. I ran like a beheaded chicken looking for either help or a tactical advantage. Worked, again no actual violence guys got tired of chasing me.

Last time was with a guy who was nicknamed "Toro" or bull. The guy was an employee of my uncle but long story short he became the leader of local gang of thugs and I had to get him out of my property. Ill tell you the guy was strong and usually nowhere near his senses. Plus he licked ice picks. I had a hammer in my hand, but again got away with smoke and mirrors. And I'm glad too because one punch of that guy and I wouldn't be typing this stunned and ice picked away. So if you find yourself in that 3rd situation you do what you need to or that's it.

No second chances and no judges. Thankfully a bit of bluffing was more than sufficient. However most of the time being mindful of your surroundings, keeping an eye on your watch and being tolerant towards others or distracting them and getting away is all you could ever need.

If things get really, really tough you might have to calm people down. And when violence is imminent, making your determination evident through your behavior may be more than enough. If not, then and only then do you act and with as much force as needed for the situation hopefully a good push and sprint to the door might do it, a little bit can go a long way.

I don't practice to become a killer watching Dexter and playing Doom are enough for me. I practice because I love being fit, being with my friends and learning as much as I can among other things. In the end I hate bullying and wouldn't like to be part of the problem ever, but I also love all of karate's methods for torturing sandbags and BOBs and gladly embrace them.

Very philosophical and definitely a lovely way to live one's life, but really? In any altercation I've even been in since starting karate I have done my utmost to injure my opponent. There's no real higher aim. Not to teach them a lesson or to bring them back to the right path. I simply lack the ability to fight without throwing everything into it.

Finishing them with a stomp may be excessive but if a punch is delivered with anything less than total intention to kill Ikken Hissatsu anyone? That's my two cents anyway. February 22, at am. Hi all, My 2 cents: "Karate wasn't made for killing! Next to that, the situations described in the book didn't read it though aren't realistic.

Why kick Jodan when you can kick Gedan or punch Jodan? In the worst case, violence comes unexpected and thus you are unprepared physically and mentally to respond as described. Regards, Sebastiaan.

Karate, up until at least that time, was not the airy-fairy, hearts-and-flowers nonsense that it seems to have become.

At that time the world of karate still understood that there are very real, very violent dangers in the world, that there are brutal persons in the world who are not amenable to whispers of "have a nice day," and that any attempt to lead them "back to the path of peace" will most likely get you killed. We were taught that the only sensible way to respond to an unprovoked physical attack is to do whatever needs to be done to render the attacker incapable of further attack. And as I have mentioned here before, we were taught many terribly destructive, even deadly techniques.

The ideal response to an attack was to prevent a fight from taking place by delivering -- if possible -- a single, devastating blow or other devastating technique, all of which are being lost now because of the advent of "tournament karate," in which all of the most effective techniques have been outlawed. And before someone pipes up with an assertion that I must have been working in some deranged offshoot of karate, please know that I was first taught in the Karate-do Shoreikan, under Sensei Toguchi Seikichi, now world-renowned as one of the great masters of all time.

Sensei Toguchi revered and elevated courtesy and respect above all things except one, and that was the doing of whatever is necessary to do, in defense of one's self or of others. We were taught to walk in peace, but to be prepared to engage in a full-on violent response when and if attacked. That philosophy still seems to me to make the most sense. March 12, at am. My teacher taught me to beat anyone who has a weapon pointed at you and never let your guard down after the opponents down.

I think it should always be used to kill but if someone pointed a gun and for some reason I disable him I would beat that guy real good. Probably 80 fractured or broken bones. Still less than half the bones you have. August 7, at pm. September 24, at am. November 17, at pm. This is a beautiful article. I mean, all your articles are great, but this is one of my favorites because it demonstrates what is the SOUL of karate and what isn't.

This is something that people need to understand before they start training. I believe many people train in karate or at least begin to for the wrong reasons, such as the "power to kill". February 21, at pm. February 28, at am.

Jesse is right about his opinion for karate. March 15, at pm. I don't know if you all do, but in Shotokan, the five morals of the Dojo Kun are recited at the beginning and end of each and every class: Hitotso! Jinkaku kansei ni tsutomeru koto - One Thing! Seek Perfection of Character. This is first and foremost in the Practice of Karate-do.

The last of the five morals also should be stressed, and perhaps that is why it is left for last - to leave a lasting impression! Kekki no yu o imashimuru koto - One Thing! Refrain from violent behaviour. An attacker can easily be subdued not beaten to death and handed over to the police, by simply blocking his attack. After all, karate was developed for just that; the block is delivered with sufficient power to break bones! No follow-up stomping is required!

Okinawan Karate was developed to be ruthless, true, but it was because the Japanese were ruthless. It is the same for the weapons - they are not taught in most Shotokan dojos, because they are no longer seen as a needed resource.

In feudal Japan, weapons were outlawed so the Okinawan people turned simple farming implements into the weapons you still see in some dojos. Interestingly, the nunchaku was simply a grain thrashing tool, the kama a sickle or scythe. One more thing! From the Masters If you read Master Funikoshi's 20 precepts, and other quotes, you will come across this very powerful statement: The correct understanding of Karate and its proper use is Karate-do.

One who truly trains in this do [way] and actually understands Karate-do is never easily drawn into a fight. I also read somewhere that because of the true nature of karate; a strength capable of defeating even a ferocious animal. If ever used against another human being, you have failed in its pursuit. I'll end with this quote: "To win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the highest skill.

To subdue the enemy without fighting is the highest skill. Lu Kang. April 16, at pm. April 28, at pm. Jesse, you said it yourself: "Yet… I must admit something. I have seen those exact moves in demonstrations here in Okinawa, the birtplace of Karate. Now, I do agree with you on the kick to the back of the head, that is just dumb, in a real life situation thats not going to happen if someone is trying to hurt you.

I'm just here wondering how on earth do you position yourself to roundhouse someone to the balls? And why does it have to be a roundhouse isn't any kick to the nuts painful enough as it is? I am Japanese and never believed Martial Arts a practical form of fighting. It was more a cultural thing done for character building and for sport or just because you were Japanese.

But practicality was, doing endless katas was one thing and getting into a shoving, swinging, neck hold, eye gouging in the dust fight because someone called you a "Jap" was another. What I did learn was that, after only as going as far as white belt in Karate, if you do the basic movements over and over again, hundreds of times, you get good at it. I can only say from my experience is that I have kicked guys in the gut so hard its made them puke and knocked guys out with a simple, well timed and well aimed straight punch to the head.

It has made me wondered how far I could have gone if I had stayed with a martial art. The reason why I never liked Martial Arts was because I never believed in it.

A real fight, in my mind, was always too unpredictable for any kind of system that a martial arts could teach me. Having an Aikido instructor correct me that I was not attacking my opponent right with the fake knife he gave me, was the pinnacle of stupidity.

What I have learned in my life is that if you practice the basic moves of punching, kicking, blocking over and over again, you get good at it and that the "wax on, wax off" technique REALLY does work. Like they say, practicing one move times is better than knowing move practiced one time. I like the explanation of medical complications, which can occur from the result of one's use of the described techniques.

The book doesn't only teach you what damage can be done, but it also explains what could medically occur in the Best and the Worst case scenario. If you don't have any Martial Arts training, this book may not be for you, but with any skills this is a great reading material to further your Martial Arts knowledge. I didn't like the moves demonstrated in the case of attack and defense. Even though, they might be helpful, they are not always the best moves and might be misleading to the reader, but overall the book is amazing and definitely worth reading.
