coming up sports life to shine and karate is set to make its debut at the 2020 olympics forget get all the latest news and information around the clock on our website at www dot com thanks for watching us if you took. my 1st boss i was a sewing machine. where i come from women are almost by the social tools even something as simple as learning how to write them by side poses and. since i was a little good i wanted to have them by sight below my home and it took me years to going to buy them. finally they gave up and mental mind young guys like this but returned because sewing machine sewing i suppose was more afro creates for those than rising up by as now i want to meet those women back home who are bones by

visiting teams and social norms and inform them of old bed b.c. writes my name is dave out of the home and i work at z.d. . net a. thank you. for it because here at the olympics yeah. it's a dream come true for heretick around the world as the sport is finally recognizing

the olympic discipline at the summer games in tokyo even if the status is only provisional japan's favorite q shimizu is in 2 minds over the issue once and then of course that's a shame but at the same time it gives me all the more motivation to do everything i can to ensure the sport gets the attention it needs so that karate can eventually become a regular discipline. kind of team is already a global sport the world kind of a federation alone has over 10000000 members in 192 countries interestingly most of our main truth the traditional kind of take only a small fraction followed the strictly regulated competitive variety. of items used to brand yourself but not so much anymore now we train to defend ourselves and to the truly become better people. it's crunch time in cooma tokyo where the last major japanese tournament before the olympics is taking place

. among the contenders here she muses japan's reigning queen of cotton she became interested in kind of tea at the age of 9 and just 3 years later had already earned a black belt now 26 she's a 3 time world champion and has topped the japanese league in 7 successive the. plague. competitive karate there are 2 categories and take both have their own appeal and i'd love to see more people getting the chance to experience the 2 disciplines life. is the carrot equivalent of shadow boxing against an imaginary opponent the objective is to follow a pre-arranged choreography as perfectly as possible. for the 2020 games of the scoring system for kata 1st had to be adapted at the request of the international olympic committee instead of

a straight vote by 5 judges now a panel of referees would points for technique lettuces a competitive event can choose which one of $102.00 permitted katas they want to perform. but if the fascinating thing about kata is that despite the fixed form i still have a huge amount of room for personal expression. unlike most other sports a kata comes with a heritage that has been passed on over generations from master to master. it in the cockpit. but as everyone is different even though a kata has fixed routines it can always be interpreted individually making its performance unique. then there's the evolution of a kata over time the longer you practice a kata the greater the depth and meaning you give it as you got it the point is not to check a list of a point. a company's you for your entire life and that's great. with.

the 2nd category is called an impulse sparring against an adversary i feel lympics will be contested in 3 instead of the usual 5 weight divisions safety is paramount and how to control the impact on the torso is permitted but contact with the opponent's head must be limited to at most a skin touch the challenge involves keeping old. under complete control while reacting with maximum technical prowess and commitment. video replays for judges were introduced 5 years ago for positive evaluations the innovation was widely welcomed. at 1st sight kind of team might seem similar to take one job and i would stop list olympic discipline but there is one crucial difference. with competitive taekwondo

you only use your legs cleat with karate you employ your hands to a cake or a punch to the head earns 3 points and to the torso 2 with one point for a push. as far livelier than kata and has a far wider range of techniques what makes it particularly exciting is the unpredictability of the sequence of strikes and the technique of each individual fighter. the most important element is using each technique with maximum control to ensure that the attack is holding back at the shortest possible distance from the opponent so without actually touching them listen i mean. in the heart of japan's main island home shoot here in the tranquil surroundings of bamboo forest or rice fields is the karate school of shame you university. he meets a man who has been instrumental in the development of professional karate for

decades. so yeah my sensei is 80 years young and the vice president of the countries cannot say association 54 years ago he founded the local dojo which has since produced a series of world class atika. fortunately we have a major problem with the rules for competitive karate. the one area to the next where are repeatedly non-uniform changes in the japanese federation as well as in the world karate federation. it's very confusing for africans taking part in a variety of competitions that spectators who are not experts in the sport often unable to understand the new rules. must go there. is still a traditional japanese martial art in my eyes that the new generation tends to see

it in sporting times there are plenty of contests and awards to be won i try to unite to be traditional arts with a spirit of competition and that includes for greeting everything in karate every training session every fight begins and ends respect and civility. the history of kind of day is one of migration a range of cultural influences from persia the indian subcontinent and china came together centuries ago on the island of okinawa. under the rule of the rick you people everything connected up with the culture and the local martial art to take lang deep roots with a lasting legacy. ok now ireland alone is the home of over $403.00 in together the modern world with the traditional teaching and its venerable old masters. but. this is dr ted so you know who come hunchy what i got on it with

a guy thing now he's written a number of books about traditional cannot say and also open the world's 1st kind of to museum his home based on his grandfather's collection of memorabilia. korean in fact the in this is a known chuckle. when i teach the old martial arts with weapons like the ball you know sight and. and children. and that actually means empty hand that is no weapons. everyone talks about kind of head this and that but i doubt most people even know what it means. of course it's a martial art for self defense but when we look at the 1st character we see the simple for language what they hear conflicts should such be resolved by an eye to eye conversation with your opposite number. kind of 10 ball so much trying to skeleton the muscles and the breathing alternately the circulation to meditation is

also a factor that knowledge from natural healing all of that belongs to cutting that. hold that kind of. cola pay was. like with a cut at that and be happy. chuckle you know she just since a students practice late into the evening. he didn't use them even if you're competing in a tournament a real opponents or to many crossly is above all a confrontation with yourself and without fundamental faith in your own ability is any fights will be over all too quickly. need to have a strong imagination where do you want to go what do you want to achieve this confrontation with your own self is the 1st toughest and most important fight of all. the. close.

you know me and i don't know i hope things won't develop like they did judo at the olympics there are no more japanese referee set the moment i mean mostly you. are from a goalie i'm kind of the more i pray kind of one not meet the same fate the one you know he only but that's what happens when everyone's only focused on winning the meaning so if okinawa's cut a taker do not prevail at the olympics it certainly doesn't mean that traditional kind of test redundant this must be clear to everyone otherwise our roots may be permanently damaged. ok. there is always some risk so when you get bigger but it took a 2 part of it the point is to. to make your roots deeper and deeper more the tree grows more your flowers might become a heavier large more the tree needs larger roots so we'll be here to protect it. october 25th is kind of in japan and the big event on okinawa it commemorates the meeting of the great masters in 1906 when the martial law was officially named and

its future as a competitive sport was decided or error the japanese are simply and beatable see. if the japanese will also be favorites at their home a lympics in tokyo. a centuries old heritage is difficult for other nations to catch up. i learned the secret behind the strength of the japanese is that they pay close attention to every detail during the training and always give 100 percent. as a sign only because in order to qualify for the olympics you had to compete in the premier league every month but although the total number of participants in the premier league is limited there is no limit on the number of current take up from one country depending on their score. in the case of the olympic games it was decided from the outset that only 10 people per nation would be allowed so just

getting there is already a challenge home to me that in the competition level will be very high and not comparable to the premier league. thrown in every day i'm becoming more aware that the olympics are getting closer and closer we are the very 1st car i take will be taking this new road. that. the we have nothing and nobody for orientation all we can do is try. and prepare as well as possible for the event this time because you're going to want to the other thing is of course there's huge pressure from the high expectations so i think i'll do as best as i can step by step this is new. day young. mum.

you get. close. to some fun to. be told it's clearly explosive gemini's i'll go if you can. no matter if you're into winter sports or nature the al goalie is something for everyone. the way after all. your son's playing how can we just harness the commission play and why do we find the sound waves with nancy pelosi transcendentalists constantly someone totally on. 30 minutes w. and. he takes it personally like you read it with

a little wonderful people and stories that make the game so special. that only a true for. my tastes. good more than football long line length. i'm in the south of germany in the foothills of the algo. and then.
