ESSENCE OF KARATE-DO TRAINING..

REMEMBER " THE KARATE-KID" MOVIE?? the relationship of a teacher, sensei miyagi with

the well determined student, Daniel Laruzo...yes...?This was my all time favourite movie,

regardless part 1,2,3 or Karate-Kid 4.. :)






But one thing for sure, whether you realize or not, despite of all the dramas and the stubborn of

this young guy name Daniel, inside this movie, Sensei Miyagi has highlighted some useful advice

pertaining to Karate-do...

SENSEI MIYAGI, IN THE 'KARATE KID' MOVIE ONCE SAID,

"Karate-do is like a BONZAI TREE, if the roots is good, it will produce a very beautiful well shaped tree.."

maknanya..


"Karate-do ini seperti POKOK BONZAI, jika akarnya bagus, maka akan tumbuhlah pokok yang sangat cantik dan terbentuk rapi.."



Macam Pokok bonzai ni...Cantik kan?:)



So now,
Apa dia "roots" or "akar" yang sensei miyagi maksudkan?

Jawapannya ialah ASAS/BASIC/KIHON KARATE-DO ITU SENDIRI.

(yang selalu sensei ulang banyak kali di dalam kelas)

SECONDLY
, the above wise quote also can be applied in the
performance Karate-do technique itself..

HOW?


Begini,

Setiap pokok yang kuat, sebenarnya mempunyai akar yang sangat kuat.

same goes when we do our techniques,

KALAU BADAN KITA NI UMPAMA POKOK, BAHAGIAN BAWAH BADAN IAITU KEDUA-DUA KAKI KITA, YANG KITA GUNAKAN UNTUK BUAT STANCES IALAH AKARNYA...



Jadi..

As my Sensei Kong Tai Moon who now migrated in Australia (but he himself and his teaching will always be in my heart..thank you sensei..), always remind me in the dojo...


"MUST ALWAYS
LOWER BODY @ akar kepada badan kita@ stances
STRONG"

iaitu the stances, i.e. neko ashi dachi, shiko dachi, zenkutsu dachi, moto dachi and others=MUST BE STRONG, THEN, ALL TECHNIQUES AT OUR BODY like shuto uke, chudan tzuki and all WILL BECOME FIRM.

Alhamdulillah..Now we can see the connection on the quotes, with the reminder that always comes to my earS in the dojo:) AND the TRAINING i keep on doing up to now, until I become who am I today...

really thankful to my sensei...Alhamdulillah...

So I'll be doing the same thing to you in the dojo!!!by always reminding you over and over again!!!

And how to do all above advice in practical??

I'll show the detail in the dojo..

ok?


So now u remember...

"Karate-do is like a BONZAI TREE, if the roots is good, it will , it will produce a very beautiful well shaped tree.."

THUS, Let'S BE like the Beautiful bonzai tree.. but firstly we must have the
good roots, i.e.
1) strong KIHON
2) strong STANCES..

iaitu....

THE ESSENCE OF KARATE-DO TRAINING...

InsyaAllah.

I BELIEVE U CAN DO VERY WELL

tILL THEn, TAKE CARE

-SENSEI IMAN

KARATE BEGIN WITH COURTESY AND END WITH COURTESY

Above words from Grandmaster Gichin Funakoshi...the founder of SHOTOKAN KARATE-DO.

APA MAKNANYA?
"COURTESY" boleh difahami sebagai "CARA YANG TERHORMAT"

JADI, apa yang dimaksudkan adalah,
= Karatedo itu bermula dengan
CARA YANG TERHORMAT &
berakhir dengan
CARA YANG TERHORMAT

BAGAIMANA CARA YANG TERHORMAT TU?
=iaitu tindakan menundukkan sedikit badan iaitu "retsurei" @ "rei" ..
Jadi semua mesti INGAT, sebagai karateka yang sebenar..
SEBELUM & SELEPAS KELAS, kite mesti "rei",
termasuk ketika kita memohon untuk

1) keluar ke tandas dan sebagainya

2) untuk rehat atau minum air...

Sensei nampak ada kalanya perkara ni kurang diambil berat oleh anak-anak semua..jadi lepas ini ingat,
sebagai karateka yang baik,

"KARATE BEGIN WITH COURTESY AND END WITH COURTESY"


ok?

I believe U CAN do very well.
Domo.


ALL PRAISE TO ALLAH:)
