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 gets me all the more motivation to do everything i can to ensure the sport gets the attention it needs so that corrective can eventually become a regular discipline. kind of thing 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 cutting only a small fraction followed the strictly regulated competitive variety. about the future to defend yourself not so much anymore now we train to defend ourselves and to the training become better people. it's crunch time in cooma. 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 dns. competitive karate there are 2 categories and can 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 causes 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. we're going to 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 has 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 that. accompanies you for your entire life and that's great.

the 2nd category is called in in full sparring against an adversary i feel lympics will be contested in 3 instead of usual 5 weight divisions safety is paramount and how to control the impact on the torso is permitted but contact with a opponent's head must be limited to at most a skin touch the challenge involves keeping your own. 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 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 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 holding back at the shortest possible distance from the opponent so without actually touching them wilson i mean. in the hostage of hands made island home shoot here in the tranquil surroundings of bamboo forest or rice fields is the karate school of sam you university. he meets a man who has been instrumental in the development of professional karate for

decades. so yeah my sensei is 80 is 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 katic. 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. but there. is still a traditional japanese martial art in my eyes that 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 the greeting everything in karate every training session every fight begins and ends with respect and civility. the history of how to say 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. you know island alone is the home of over $400.00 daughters green together the modern world with the traditional teaching and its venerable old masters. but. this is dr ted so you know who come hunchy with i guess you know on it with the

gotham right now he's written a number of books about traditional cannot say and also open the world's 1st color to museum his home based on his grandfather's collection of memorabilia. there korean in fact the this is a known chuckle. i teach the old martial arts with weapons like the site and. then because it actually means empty hand that is no weapons. you know. even though 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 but they have conflict should a such be resolved by an i die conversation with your opposite number. kind of temporal so much trying to skeleton the muscles and the breathing alternately the circulation to meditation is also

a factor acknowledge from natural healing all of that belongs to cutting that whole thing kind of. cold cold. and be happy. talk to you know she just in say students practice late into the evening. even if you're competing in a tournament a real opponents somebody 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. 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 they. told. me

not or no i hope things won't develop like they did judo at the olympics there are no more japanese referee sat the moment and i mean mostly you. are from a goalie or kind of them or i precut it will not meet the same fate when you know he only but that's what happens when everyone's only focused on winning that many so if ok now was cut i teka do not prevail at the olympics but it certainly doesn't mean that traditional cut out is redundant this must be clear to everyone otherwise our roots may be permanently damaged. with ok. there is always some risk so when you get bigger but he took a 2 part of it the point is to. make your roots deeper and deeper more the tree grows more your flowers might become a heavier notch more the tree needs larger roots so we'll be here to protect that. 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 error 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 know and 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 have 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. one 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 have a mixed message so we have nothing and nobody for orientation all we can do is to. and prepare as well as possible for the event. i want to go on and it's of course there's huge pressure from the high expectations so i think i'll do as best as i can step by step but if you.
