Welcome to the May 2012 Edition of
THE SHOTOKAN WAY
Please read the whole of the Main Page for details of what's NEW to TSW
THE SHOTOKAN WAY - EDITORIAL
Welcome to the May 2012 Edition of THE SHOTOKAN WAY – The Online Shotokan Karate Magazine.
Before I discuss this edition’s content, I think it is important that I give praise to our very own Emma Robins on her insightful and comic article, entitled ‘The 5 Worst things about being a Black Belt’. I must admit that upon a second and third re-read, I still find it entertaining. Consequently, Emma received praise and comments of congratulation from all over. If you did not read it in the last issue, may I urge you to look at our archive material located on the left sidebar.
The second thing I would like to mention, prior to the discussion of this edition’s material, is our 3rd THE SHOTOKAN WAY Open Course, to be held in London (UK). Here, myself and Paul Herbert (ASK) will teach at 2 venues over the weekend, covering a variety of themes connected to kihon, kata and kumite. If you are free that weekend, may I please urge you to come along and attend, as the previous 2 courses have been both exciting and enjoyable, and a great way of meeting karateka outside of your own association and dojo. Below is the poster of the event, and any further information required, please get in touch on mail@theshotokanway.com.
The MAIN feature of this edition is an Interview with Yoshiharu Osaka, JKA. This main feature, whilst including an interview with Yoshiharu Osaka, also contains article material to help further illustrate the background, and brilliance of one of the world’s finest and most loved karate teachers.
The second instalment in this edition comes in the form of my article ‘From Jack Daniels to Kiai’. Here I discuss the importance of ‘feeling’ the technique rather than just its geometry. This article, in many ways, is ideally connected and linked to the interview with Yoshiharu Osaka also featured within this edition. I hope this is of interest with you.
Thirdly comes a report entitled ‘The 25th Annual Cape Town Gambate Gashuku’ by Nigel Jackson. In this report Jackson describes and discusses the hard training and achievement that comes with completing this notoriously tough week long Gashuku in Cape Town.
Finally, can I please also draw your attention to the release of the NEW issue of Shotokan Karate Magazine. This is an excellent issue of the fantastic magazine, brought to us by John Cheetham, celebrating Shotokan Karate. Please make sure you order a copy.
Can I please take this opportunity to wish you all good health, happiness and joy in your training.
