Shotokai Encyclopedia on Karate-do and Japanese Martial Arts THE BATTLE FOR OLYMPIC KARATE RECOGNITION WUKO vs. IAKF by Jon K. Evans, Ph.D. Black Belt Magazine, Feb 1988 Although most of the Western karate world is unaware of it, there is a considerable schism in "shotokan" karate. There is good reason to believe it was this division that led to the long and bitter rivalry between the World Union of Karate-do Organizations (WUKO) and the now-defunct International Amateur Karate Federation (IAKF) for International Olympic Committee (IOC) recognition as the international governing body for amateur karate and the right to oversee all karate competitions at future Olympic Games. In Japan, the different approaches to Gichin Funakoshi's popular style are [ed: were!] represented by, on the one hand, the Japan Karate Association (JKA) and, on the other, the All-Japan University Karate League. Internationally, JKA shotokan is represented by its affiliated organizations in various countries, as well as instructors originally aligned with the JKA who have since formed their own international organizations (like Hirokazu Kanazawa in Great Britain and his Shotokan Karate International), and national groups that have disassociated themselves from their original instructors but still consider themselves to be practicing JKA shotokan (like the American JKA, led by Randall Hassell and Ray Dalke). Internationally, the University style is represented by university-trained instructors who don't subscribe to the JKA's canon of shotokan. A good example is the loosely affiliated association of national organizations in America, Israel, France, Morocco, Spain, Switzerland, Gabon, Germany, Holland, Canada, and Curacao, each of which calls itself France Shotokan, Swiss Shotokan, Israel Shotokan, etc. This group practices shotokan karate as interpreted and taught by Tsutomu Ohshima of Los Angeles, whom they regard as their chief instructor.

Martial Arts History in S.A. The following article was written in the early 80's. Much has happened since then. The old Apartheid regime collapsed, a new Democracy took place and currently the country is undergoing a transformation. Karate has gone a total roundabout and today most of the sport codes have unified. Some of the sport codes have a shaky unity but in general more opportunities have arisen for those from previously disadvantaged backgrounds. It is important to realise or to appreciate the fact that prior to the unification of karate in 1992, karate was only practised and controlled by a small minority sympathetic to the Apartheid regime. Universally it is now recognised that representative karate in South Africa only started at the Unification process. I will soon be updating this page, so look out for it. A Brief history of the Martial Arts in South Africa Boxing and wrestling were well known in South Africa before much was known about the Orient. Boxing was known as the manly art of self defence and was practised bare fisted by a few hardy individuals who performed this bloody sport before groups of men betting on the outcome. Judo was introduced into South Africa in 1945 by soldiers of the Second World War. Alec Butcher, a British Immigrant, was one of the earliest pioneers of the sport as was Jack Robinson for jujitsu. Judo established itself as an organized sport on a national basis only in 1955 when the South African Amateur Judo Association (SAAJA) was formed.

SYNCHRONISED SWIMMING REPORT Back to NEWS Back to SYNCHRONISED SWIMMING NEWS Tuesday, September 26 Drug fight spurs on Russian star Craig Lord From Craig Lord in Sydney How do you solve a problem like Maria Kisseleva, suspended Russian queen of aquatic ballet? You sue the pharmaceutical company that made a meal out of a banned substance, lobby for leniency and then progress from being stripped of a European title in July to serving a one-month ban in August before becoming Olympic champion in September. Kisseleva tackled the weighty question of her drugs ban with the dexterity she had shown in the water alongside her duet partner Olga Brusnikina as the pair became the first Russians to win an Olympic medal of any hue, let alone the gold, in synchronised swimming. “It was a great shock, a real tragedy,” she said of the moment she was told that ephedrine had been found in the urine sample she produced for drugs testers in Helsinki in July. Drugs among the nose-clip loving ladies of the lake? Unthinkable. "A food supplement was recommended to me by the National Olympic Committee and the pharamaceutical company because they said it would help me to control my weight,” said Kisseleva, not a hint of fat about her. “They did not tell me that it contained a banned substance. We just could not believe it when I was told about the drugs test. We are now going through the courts against this company.”

In the 11th century, the people of Okinawa developed their own fighting ability from the influence of Chinese Martial Arts and other Asian fighting systems. In the 17th century Okinawa was invaded by Japan and a ban was introduced on all weapons and farming equipment with blades, which left the people (almost) empty handed to defend themselves. Almost, because they still had some farming equipment they could use as weapons. These weapons can be called Traditional Karate Weapons. A few examples: Tonfa, Nunchaku, Bo , etc... In those days, karate was practised by family members and clans at night in the dark to hide their identity. So the name, karate do , actually is 'built' out of a few words, KARA - empty - TE - hand - DO - way. It is the way of the empty hand.

Naha city in Okinawa was thriving with martial arts activity in the 1850's. Kanryo Higaonna was born March 3, 1853 during the time when Okinawa Island was occupied by the Satsuma Clan of Japan. According to the recent study of Iken Tokashiki , President of Okinawa Goju Ryu Tomarite Karate do Kyokai, Kanryo Higaonna was born at Nishimura of Naha City as the fourth son of Kanryo Higaonna , the 10th generation of the Higaonna family in Haru. Kanryo Higaonna visited Fuchou, China, around 1877 for three years. There is an another account in regards to his visit to the city. It is said that he visited the port city in 1873 for fifteen years. Some Martial Arts historians explain his motives of visiting the city was to study the Chinese Martial Arts. Higaonna did, in fact, study a Southern Shaolin Chun style, during his stay in that city. However, his initial reason for visiting China was explained by other historians that it was the result of his political involvements. In 1868, Japan experienced a major reformation in its history when the Shogun

@import url( ../complexstyle.css ); karate began somewhere in the distant past with elements of unarmed fighting methods from China and Japan coming together to be shaped by the unique culture and people of a small group of islands known as Okinawa. Situated geographically and sociologically at the halfway point between two great cultures, Okinawans developed a strong fighting spirit, which allowed them to exist for centuries as a culture distinct from their stronger neighbors. During the 17th and early 18th centuries, first under its own central rulers and then later under clans from the main islands of Japan, a small ruling elite outlawed the possession of weapons by the general population. The secret study of weaponless fighting, or te as it was called, became one of the only means native Okinawans had to protect themselves from heavily armed warriors and brigands. It was during this time that Okinawans put their own stamp on unarmed fighting methods by emphasizing the use of the natural physics of the body and connection to mother earth to achieve high levels of power. Early practitioners spent a lifetime developing and organizing the technical skills needed to perfect elements of various foreign and native weaponless fighting schools. As time went by, the need and therefore the emphasis on fighting for purely reasons of self-preservation began to diminish. At the same time, practitioners of this pure fighting method began to recognize that many aspects of native religious and philosophical beliefs primarily from Buddhism and Taoism provided unarmed warriors with a level of mental peace and disconnection from worldly concerns needed to enhance chances for success during combat. Practitioners of unarmed martial arts realized too that the focused application of the art itself led the warrior to a greater level of self-awareness and inner peace. This melding of the outer, physical and inner, mental elements is what defines eastern martial arts.

Joining the Olympic family means that karate accepts Olympism as its guiding philosophy.

History of Shingitai Jujitsu By Steve Scott To understand Shingitai Jujitsu and its role in the world of self-defense or "martial arts", one must look at some historical developments which led to its development. John Saylor, in the 1980's, was the Head Judo Coach at the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He arrived at this prestigious position in 1983 by virtue of his success as an athlete in competitive judo. Saylor had won the U.S. Heavyweight Championship three times and was a Pan American silver medalist. He had recently retired from the sport of judo after a serious shoulder injury sustained in the 1982 U.S. Judo National Championships. During his tenure as coach of the Olympic Training Center, John Saylor was exposed to some of the best judo technicians in the world. The leading judo teams from Asia, Europe and the Americas visited the Olympic Training Center regularly and John Saylor wasted no effort in observing their training methods and discussing judo technique with the world's top judo athletes and coaches. Not only did he work with the top judo people, Saylor worked closely with some of the top strength and conditioning coaches in the world who coached and did research at the Olympic Research Center or were visiting form other nations. John Saylor built on his already considerable strong base of grappling knowledge by this experience at the Olympic Training Center. He served as the coach from 1983 until 1991. However, before he left his position at the Olympic Training Center, Saylor began a more thorough and extensive study of "martial arts".
