If you face off against a karate-k...You dumb harpy. If you face off against a karate-ka and he gets a good punch in to your jaw, you'll be down at your dentist's for reconstructive jaw surgery before you can make another "funny" joke about karate. If you get him on the ground then great, you'll win. But don't underestimate the power of a well trained karateka with a fist that's been trained. Your hubris is inappropriate for a soi-disant martial artist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192186541955038172.post-50988892761873964032011-03-16T08:58:16.022-07:002011-03-16T08:58:16.022-07:00I think Judo is more pure and more traditional tha...I think Judo is more pure and more traditional than karate.cialis onlinehttp://www.learnsexualhealth.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192186541955038172.post-36110926879262839682011-02-16T18:40:29.424-08:002011-02-16T18:40:29.424-08:00Lighten up...it's all meant to be fun!!!!Lighten up...it's all meant to be fun!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192186541955038172.post-14645897585856425152008-06-03T02:42:00.000-07:002008-06-03T02:42:00.000-07:00Both are great martial arts.

Also no coaching on the sidelines is allowed (unlike we do in judo). Unlike what you have probably seen (not real "karate"), Traditional Karate competitions (Japanese and Okinawan) are REALLY quiet. <BR/><BR/>When you witnessed "karate" compeitions, they probably wore head gear, foot pads, etc. The International Traditional Karate Federation ITKF and JKA rules allow for NO PADS, whatsoever. We are allowed surgical latex gloves (HIV transmission prevention) and a mouthpiece....THAT'S IT. <BR/><BR/>Now, I hope you would agree that Judo is not better than Karate (Real karate anyway) or vice versa. They are entirely 2 different art's and I have trained with many of the best in both arts. Actually my Shotokan instructor was trained in Japan at the Kodokan in Judo under Mifune in the 1950's when the karate people shared space with judo people. <BR/><BR/>Anton Geesink was not only a World Class judoka, but he was a sandan in Shotokan trained at the JKA by Masatoshi Nakayama. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192186541955038172.post-13461835537177143902008-01-22T07:18:00.000-08:002008-01-22T07:18:00.000-08:00I am a karateka and a judoka. The problem is, you...I am a karateka and a judoka. The problem is, you like most others don't know what karate is. While I agree with you about 6' trophies, music during kata, fighting with fans, etc...that is NOT karate. Karate has become a generic term unlike judo. Therefore anything having to do with kicking and punching in a gi, people genrically call karate. What you have probably witnessed was Tae Kwon Do and other forms of sport striking, but not "Karate-Do". I have prcticed Shotokan karate for almost 20 years. There are only 5 forms recognized in Japan and Okinawa (Shotokan, Shorin-Ryu, Wado-Ryu, Goju Ryu and Shito-Ryu). in NONE of these styles will you ever see striped uniforms, musical kata or any of that other nonsense. This is precisely why in the karate world, there is a big distinction between "Traditional Karate" and "Sport Karate" the former not even considered "karate" by traditionalists. <BR/><BR/>Not getting on your case but be careful what you write. There are lots of traditional karateka that practice judo, JiuJitsu, Kendo and are real purists about their art. Gichin Funakoshi ("Father of Modern Karate") was a DEAR friend of Dr. Kano and Dr. Kano asked that his top students be trained Funakoshi. In NO Japanese art does any master title himself, "Master". <BR/><BR/>That is NEVER heard in traditional Japanese organizations. I'm afraid the stuff you have been exposed to is NOT karate but probably Tae Kwon Do or some derivative of kung-fu CALLING THEMSELVES "karate" (unfortunately). THis is acceptable practice among Korean and Chinese arts but not Japanese arts like "Karate". <BR/><BR/>The philosophy of Traditional Karate (LIKE JUDO) is maximum efficiency / minimum effort and ikken hitsatsu (one attack / one kill). In JKA style karate, we wear plain white uniforms and win by IPPON or 2 WAZARIs (LIKE JUDO). Same philosophy of combat....no second chance in the street.<BR/><BR/>If you want to see a good demo of real karate see this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufh6B-r_HOM<BR/><BR/>or this <BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPP8s_KXEpU<BR/><BR/>Try not to use labels until you know exactly who you're criticizing. Traditional Karate athletes are wholly dangerous. Sport tag-sparring like Tae Kwon Do is ok for kids but it is NOT an considered an art.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192186541955038172.post-1303679251349455532008-01-08T13:15:00.000-08:002008-01-08T13:15:00.000-08:00Is judo suitable to an occidental woman and mother...Is judo suitable to an occidental woman and mother? Well, I have four children, which puts me definitely in the mother category, so, yes, I think it is perfectly suitable.<BR/><BR/>My family is very Catholic and I was raised to always try to leave the world a better place than I found it.
