The philosophy behind Okuyama Karate

Created by: Administrator, Last modification on 09 May 2009 [05:29 UTC] by annie
When a person trains two or three times a week, one's body and spirit benefit.
Training in the forms of karate reflects the union with those who trained long ago. Subsequently, the person benefits form the previous karateka training and meditation.
In essence, those in the past help the person who trains in karate now. In the same fashion, the current karateka help prepare those in the future who will start karate training.
Thus the study of karate-do becomes eternal. In thre refinement of karate-do no, the student intensifies the link between the
past, present, and future of this ancient martial art.
A person helps someone in the twenty-second century by training now in karate-do.
Karate will intensify in importance to many people. Its spirit and scientific principles
will be a great asset in the approaching centuries. I, as a Kancho, will teach those who are
not yet born yet So, in a sense, I subtly teach the unborn.

Budo is the "Way"

I agree totally with what Koncho says above. It is through budo we find our center and connect to all life by finding our "ki" and using it to empty ourselves to "nothingness". There in lies truth, peace and most important "love". One must walk through the forrest to find the clearing.
