And I Also Talk About Other Things, In Addition to Traditional Shotokan Karate, in this Karate Blog!


In addition to talking about Shotokan Karate from the perspective of a lifelong beginner, I also talk about other martial arts that I've studied or read about, and karate gi brands, and martial arts books and dvds, and self-defense. And sometimes the weather, because training in Phoenix, Arizona during the summer sometimes gets your attention, you know? But nobody wants to hear you snivel in a karate blog. At least that's my guess!

A Nice Karate Demonstration with Sensei Kanazawa and Terry O'Neill



I like karate demonstrations. This one is a little quirky, from my perspective, because it's narrated in Russian, but the punches, strikes, kicks and throws do not require much translation.

Sensei Kanazawa won the first big Shotokan Karate Tournament in Japan by besting Sensei Enoeda (who is now sadly passed away), and he has fun in this demonstration.

The impressively brave Terry O'Neill assisted Sensei Kanazawa in this demonstration, which must have been a little difficult for him; Terry was himself a remarkable kumite competitor until a knee injury ended that part of his karate career.
