Bulltahr Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Great movie, does a great job of personifying the values of Karate. "We don't have any money, so we will have to think" - Ernest Rutherford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sensei8 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 The real meaning of Karate is that Karate is very quite personal to the Karateka!!Your movie link in your OP, was just that, a movie of entertainment value, and in that, there remained nothing that I would grasp to be the real meaning of Karate.I don't take Karate lightly, nor do I take Karate as a means of entertainment; I do, however, take Karate extremely serious, and this seriousness begins from day one on the floor. **Proof is on the floor!!!

For sword play, with entertainment value and not with anything more than that, this would be one of my picks; also not for everyone. As the real meaning of karate is different for everyone, that share this subject, respecting differences should become more important than the knowledge that it contains, on or off the floor.

Shizentai Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Ah, kuro obi!I remember when that first came out, while I was training in Japan (ca 2007). I speak some Japanese but the level of intellectual conversation was a bit over my head. A year later I saw it with subtitles and realized how much I had missed. HAHAHA I met Naka sensei briefly some time later. He was super nice. He actually said a lot of things that sound similar to sensei8's sentiments.

Rumour has it there will be a 3rd in the series, 20 years later. I would have loved to see a prequel done first tho.

MatsuShinshii Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Depends on your instructor, your art and your interpretation of the art and how it was passed to you. The person who succeeds is not the one who holds back, fearing failure, nor the one who never fails-but the one who moves on in spite of failure. Charles R.

JR 137 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 This one’s pretty simple. Karate really means “empty hand.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
