shazaam Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 'shazaam (I remember that tv show BTW!), " LOL! SHAZAAM!!!! (lightning bolts) I've heard of masters practicing karate in the snow and near volcanoes. Why not do it at 3:00am in the backyard? I did kata drunk one time and threw up all over my gi..but I'm a better karateka for it I think! Peace, Love, Harmony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanseijas Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 yeah i loved that show. the HB cartoon right? No, it was not a cartoon. It was like a sitcom for kids on Sunday morning with real people as characters. Maybe mid 1970's. The patch or crest worn by Isshinryu karateka often raises admiration and curiosity. The patch is based on a day dream Tatsuo Shimabuku had in the fifties while he was creating his karate style. This dream was the missing piece in the puzzle called Isshinryu. The patch is often incorrectly called Mizu Gami, which means 'water goddess'. Originally the Isshinryu emblem was called 'Isshinryu No Megami', which means 'Goddess of Isshinryu'. The goddess is the Goddess of Isshinryu karate and not the goddess of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
