granmasterchen Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 I have been asked by the Japanese community to help them in there presentation of Japan Day. I am stationed in Japan and every year we have a Japan Day for the Americans and then the Americans throw an American Day for the Japanese. I was asked by an individual in the largest karate organisation in Japan to be an honorary guest. So I was curious as karatekas what would you like to see martial art wise that I could perform that is rarely seen in karate. There main style is Kyokushin (hope i spelled it correctly) I would like to show them something that is rather unique to their culture yet I am honestly not too familiar with what all their style includes. So far I know what I have read about full contact kumite and that one of their students was a recent K-1 winner, which I saw today and will meet in person soon. I know they do breaking and some kata but that is about all I know of their style....I also read that their original instructor that created the art used to wrestle bulls and was a very honest man...skilled in mind and body and equalled it all with his philosophy. a background on myself....I have studied almost all of the common arts at one point in time in my life. So my knowledge of techniques is very well rounded. I am just curious if you could give me some insight so that this is an occasion that will be remembered and not something that looks boring and the same as everything they have already seen. That which does not destroy me will only make me stronger
turonaga Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 the japanese are well impressed by size. at least the modern ones. others are more impressed by traditional. why did we surrender lord?

So my knowledge of techniques is very well rounded. Why not do a general comparison of different styles? Show some similarities and differences in philosophy and approach. Maybe show the influence of Japanese arts on American culture and arts. Freedom isn't free!
Natural Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 Hi, do you know any one in Japan that name Mei Kato, she is japanes use to be my girlfriend but I've lost contact she is 13 around 5'4'. A karate punch it is like a dasvasted stick blow. Instead, a blow of Kung Was is comparable to a lash with a chain that has attacked, allaltra extremity one ball of ferro
