| This
chapter is inspired by ancient okinawan manuscript - Bubishi. This doesnt
mean that I will demonstrate exatly 48 techniques. Title is same as title
of similar chapter in Bubishi. Goal of this article is to show wide
diversity of karate techniques - strikes, kicks, joint locks, throws,
chokes and holds. Furthermore, if we only analyze one technique, there are
many variations depending of style, tradition or teachers point of view.
Here is my point of view, based on many years of practice, research and
seminars.
I will recommend to
you all to read Bubishi and Funakoshi's Tote jutsu. It is also very useful
to see some
video tapes as Chin Na, Okinawa Karate, Goju ryu, Ryueryu and Okinawan
karate masters.
All techniques that
are demonstrated here can be found in kata. If you practice Shotokan or
some other modern style, then maybe you will think that many of these
techniques are cruel and "dirty". However, this "dirty" kind of karate is
true Okinawan karate.
