look. 7. 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 summit 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 they corrected and eventually become a regular discipline. kind of team is already a global sport well kind of take federation a load has been over 10000000 members in 192 countries and interestingly most of remain true to traditional kind of thing only a small fraction followed the strictly regulated competitive the right. about to be used to brand yourself not so much anymore now we train to defend ourselves and to the training to become better people. it's crunch time in new 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 thing 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 idiots. i think. 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 live. 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 of competitive events can choose which one of $102.00 permitted katas they want to perform. but it can 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. not good enough. 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 the kata the greater the depth and meaning you give it as you got it the point is not to check a list of point. a company's you for your entire life and that's great.

the 2nd category is called an impulse sparring against an adversary at the olympics it 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 limited but contact with the pundits head must be limited to it most skin touch the challenging balls keeping your own. movement under complete control while reacting with maximum technical prowess and commitment. to. 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 day and i was stablished olympic discipline but there is one crucial difference. with competitive taekwondo

you only use your legs cleat with karate you employ your hands to attack or a punch to the head earns 3 points into 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 pulled back at the shortest possible distance from the opponent so without actually touching them wasn't. in the hostages pans made island hung 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 he wrote so yeah my sensei is 80 is young and the vice president of the countries cannot see association 54 years ago he founded the local dojo which has since produced a series of world class and 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 a lot of the spectators who are not experts in the sport often unable to understand the new rules. but there. is still a traditional japanese martial art in my eyes that the new generation tends to see

it in sporting terms there are plenty of contests in 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 with respect and civility. the history of cats 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 arts the take deep roots with a lasting legacy the old ok now island alone is the home of over 400 marines together the modern world with the traditional teaching and its venerable old masters. when. this is dr ted so you know who come hunchy with i guess you know on it with

their family now he's written a number of books about traditional cannot say and also open the world's 1st cutting museum his home based on his grandfather's collection of memorabilia. like the in this is unknown chuckle. i teach the old martial arts with weapons like the sight and trouble. and children. because it 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 have such be resolved by an eye to eye conversation with your opposite number. all 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. holston. cola pay lol like guy with a cut at that and be happy. check and you know she just since a students practice late into the evening. they didn't use them even if you're competing in a tournament a real opponents ultimately 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. time low that. you know me not or no i hope things won't develop you like they did judo me i feel

lympics there no more japanese referee sat the moment i mean mostly your. are from a goalie or kind of them or i pretty cut out it will not meet the same fate when you know he only that's what happens when everyone's only focused on winning that many if ok now was cut i take i do not prevail at the olympics but 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 you took a 2 part of it the point is to. make your roots deeper and deeper more the tree grows more your flowers more you become behavior in large tree needs larger roots so will be here to protect the. october 25th is kind of in japan and the big event on okinawa it commemorates the meeting of the great masters in 1936 when the

martial law was officially named and its future as a competitive sport was decided erick the japanese are simply and beautiful 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 think. 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. the same 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's 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. and then 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 and. that of. the we have nothing and nobody for orientation all we can do instead. and prepare as well as possible for the event listen because you're going to want to out of this of course there's huge pressure from the high expectations so i think i'll do as best as i can step by step the front of it being. a young. player.
