Yesterday, I felt like reenergizing my soul and spirit so I took off to Manoa Valley (^^). As always the hike did a lot of good for my physical and mental well being. Nothing beats doing Sanchin and Tensho surrounded by lush greenery, the melody of softly running water and the chirping of the birds. The great part is that the valley is only a 10 minute bus ride away! AND VERY LITTLE TOURISTS!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Thought I'd share some photos from the hike. Enjoy! </div>

The kids have so many other activities as well. (^^) Not enough time in a day!<br />
Did our usual kihon keiko in the circle with Senpai Pokemons taking turns leading the group.<br />
After kihon all concentrated on polishing their kata for the Enbukai coming up at the end of February.<br />
Alas, I was hit with a sudden relapse of chills and fever so I supervised from the side and the adult Senpais run the class. Here are some photos of today's practice.<br />

But Hawaii has many beautiful hiking trails that take you into the solitude of the mountains. It had been a while since i took a hike into the valley or mountains, so I decided to hike into Manoa Valley which is a few miles from my apartment. I think that it is important to balance our Budo training. Shin Gi Tai心技体。There always should be a balance, too much or too little of one is not healthy.<br />
I like to hike into the mountains for a spiritual cleansing. There are several spots that I go to for some meditation and to cleanse my mind, body and soul. The fresh mountain air, the gentle breeze, the rustling of the trees, the warmth of the sun does wonders.<br />
Go and Ju. Hard and Soft<br />

Let me start off that I am a true believer in Yamamoto Isoroku's philosophy of leadership. Let me quote him.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'MS PGothic', Osaka, sans-serif; line-height: 17px; margin: 11px 7px 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: -webkit-center;">

<b><span style="color: red;">やっている、姿を感謝で見守って、</span></b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'MS PGothic', Osaka, sans-serif; line-height: 17px; margin: 11px 7px 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: -webkit-center;">
<b><span style="color: red;">信頼せねば、人は実らず"</span></b></div>
<div>
"Demonstrate, explain, let them try, give praise, or they will not move.</div>
<div>
Discuss, lend you ear, acknowledge them, let them be responsible, or they will not grow.</div>
<div>
Watch with appreciation what they doing and trust them or they will not blossom."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I abhor physical punishment. I sincerely believe that everyone has a capacity to learn from their mistakes, rectify it and continue to improve through encouragement and positive advice. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What saddens me are the comments made by the assistant coach and other coaches that were present when the coach physically punished the player (high school kid). They make statements such as, "The coach was my mentor so I couldn't say anything", "We were not of position to interfere with the coach", He is a splendid coach so....." Where did the responsibility of taking care of their students go?</div>
<div>
They are educators and coaches. They all acknowledge that the coach's actions were wrong, then why did they not stop it? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I too must be aware of my own actions. Words can be as damaging as physical punishment. </div>

A short video from the Hatsu Keiko. The Mommies have little experience in Kumite, so you can see the hesitation on the contact. (^^) They will soon learn the excitement and good feeling of full contact kumite in a while. On the the hand the Pokemons! They were all grinning like the Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland.

(- -;) My Pokemons seem to prefer kumite than kata. They are coming along , but their spirit isn't as high as when they are doing kumite. Currently they are building up to jiyu kumite, but they know that they have to show more dedication to kata before I grant them their wish. Fufufufufu. </div>

I started this series after reviewing last year promotion evaluations. Hopefully I can continue to make more videos. Those that have access to my FB page may have seen these already. This videos are meant to help all our members of Yokohama and Makiki Dojos continue to improve on their skills and at the same time gain a better understanding of the karate they are learning. (^^) It would be ideal to make these videos with a partner and cameraman, but I always get too focused on teaching at the Dojo and forget to make the videos. Gahahahahaha So until I get my Makiki members to help out it will be a one man show! Osu!<br />

After some struggles our New Year Greetings!<br />
My resolution for 2013 is to improve my video editing and posting skills!<br />
May have a looooong wait though! Y(^^)Y<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=506038512752687">video.php</a><br />
For some reason I couldn't upload the video here, so here's the link to my good friend Tony Sensei of Kesshinkai Dojo, New York doing his 2013 Sunrise practice in the snow! Y(^^)Y Snow in the hair in New York, Frost and grass in the hair in Yokohama and sand in the hair in Hawaii. Gahahahahaha!<br />

(^^) I certainly hope to be able to make it to Japan in 2013.<br />
Mahalo (thank you in Hawaiian) to all the readers throughout the world and hope you all continue to read this Blog. I'd like to end the Blog for 2012 with some photos of Hawaii. Hmmm. The Hawaii Tourism Authority should pay me for advertising! Gahahahaha<br />

Did the usual Kihon Keiko, then cleaned the Dojo and equipment. Topped it off with a typical Hawaiian Pot Luck dinner! (^^) I think our spirits were one all through the night and even the Pokemons probably felt good about cleaning the Dojo. It's all in the KOKORO.<br />
I think that is what Budo is all about. Kokoro. With proper Kokoro one can overcome all obstacles and challenges. With proper Kokoro you can contribute to happiness and peace the ultimate goal of Budo.<br />
With the hectic X'mas weekend about half of the Dojo was able to attend this year. We'll plan next year's one a little bit earlier so all can enjoy the Dojo Osame.<br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">The social networks are full of debates between pro and anti gun control. I thought I'd add my opinion which I posted on my Face Book page. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">Yup, the debates have begun with regard to gun control. But then, how simply we seem to forget other causes of deaths in United States. In 2010, over 10,000 (according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) have died as result of drunken driving. in 2009, 37,485 have died to drug overdose (including prescribed drugs) according the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.</span><br />
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">
As with guns, the vehicle for the deaths are available legally and illegally. It is not just an issue of gun control. It is a bigger issue of how we decide to live, how we educate our young and a whole slew of social issues.<br />Will stricter gun control get rid of guns? Will stricter drug laws get rid of legal and illegal drugs? Will stricter Alcohol laws get rid of alcohol? NO. We need to focus on the human being. Easier said than done. But we can start with people that surround us in out everyday lives.<br />I also took time to reflect upon my martial art. I have the responsibility of ensuring my students do not take what I teach them and use it in the wrong way. Some folks ask why do you need a gun? The same can be said about martial arts. Why does anyone need to know how to maim someone?<br />Time for reflection for sure.</div>

Since this is a Budo Blog, I really think it is important that we are teaching the correct morals in our Dojo. Not just "lip service" to the Dojo Kun. Sometimes in pursuit of "winning" we lose sight of the real purpose of Budo. That is why I have reservations on concentrating on competition. Add to that the "reset" mentality gained from so much PC games and role playing many of the young kids and adults are addicted to. </div>

Let me re post my thoughts as well</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: lucida grande, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">一生事なきを似って第一とするなり戦を好むは道に非ず。</span></span></div>

"Issho kotonaki wo ette daiichi to surunari ikusa wo konomu ha michi ni arazu."</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">

<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
This precept is attributed to teachings of the Nakajo Style of Swordsmanship which is considered the oldest of Japanese swordsmanship. Nakajo Ryu eventually become known as Toda Ryu. The founder of the Nakajo Ryu, was also a politician and poet who also studied Zen during the Kamakura Period and developed Nakajo Heiho (Nakajo Method of Reasoning) The style has a very interesting history which I leave the readers to Google on their own. (^^)</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<strong><u>The precept roughly translated in my limited capability</u></strong> might go as " The foremost goal is to complete life without conflict, to seek conflict is not the path". Transferred to Karate, I interpret this as "Should you go through life without using Karate then you have journeyed successfully".</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Budo or martial arts should give us the capability of <strong><u>not fighting</u></strong>. Some of you may find this strange. But as you train you gain the confidence to protect yourself (physical and technical skills) but at the same time this confidence gives the mental awareness of being able to "see" and avoid conflict. Without confidence you cannot negotiate the hazards that we may come upon in life. Without confidence you only emotionally react to the hazards with physical skills. With confidence you are able to control your emotions and seek a better and safer resolution.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Those that only concentrate on physical skills become trapped in seeking only strength and lose sight of the true purpose of Budo.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">

The greatest challenge for my Mini-Pokemons (4-5 years old) is standing at the Yoi (Ready) Stance.<br />
Sometimes it takes a lightning bolt from me to get their attention. Gahahahaha<br />
But on a serious note. See the lady's position. That is important when dealing with children.<br />
Same eye height, not just looking down at them.<br />
It is strange that when I get down to the same eye to eye level, my Pokemons listen better!<br />

Establishment of Yokohama Shibu under Shihan William Fox and Shihandais Nagaie and Furuya.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It has been five years since I retired and came back to Hawaii to take care of my mother. Since then the Yokohama Dojo has continued to grow and provide the local community with sound moral and physical training under the motto of "Jita Kyoei" 自他共栄。Yokohama dojo has been very fortunate to have such outstanding leadership as well as unflagging support form all its members. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Upon discussion with the leadership of Yokohama Dojo, I concurred that it was time for William to become Shihan and Senpais Nagaie and Furuya as Shihandais. With the continued support of the Sonenbu Toku Toku Seis and adult members I strongly believe that Yokohama Dojo will continue to grow and be a Dojo where members can find friendly support and guidance.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Congratulations to William and Yokohama Dojo! Y(^^)Y</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Welcome to our newest member Allen! What a great smile!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Allen Funt once said, "When people are <span style="text-align: center;">smiling they are most receptive to almost anything you want to teach them". </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">I find this so true. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">A common perception of of martial arts is strict discipline, stern and military like movements with instructors barking out cadence. It doesn't have to be that way. Of course, there are some Dojos that are like that. Many are convinced that that is proper development of self control and concentration.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">I say it doesn't need to be so. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">For myself, I enjoy being surrounded by smiling faces and some chatter of my Pokemons. At the same time, they are expected to pay attention and concentrate when required to do so.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Smiling Pokemons (Pokemons are what I call my kid students) means they are enjoying what they are doing, so naturally their efforts are better. Yes, sometimes their efforts turn into tom foolery and that is when my lightning bolts fall! (^^) One does need to maintain control! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Smiling is contagious! Even when I smile (my wife says that my smile tends to scare people- (- -;) ), kids smile in return and their energy level increases.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">So make sure your Dojo is lightened up with smiles! </span></div>

Japan time, I am now 62 years old! Hawaii time it is tomorrow. It coincides with Thanksgiving! A sad but historical note it is the day that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963. I clearly recall that day when the entire school body was gathered in the auditorium and informed of the tragic incident. That was in American School in Japan at Chofu City, Japan. It has been 49 years! I was only 13 at that time. How the time flies!<br />

Not to worry! It is not one of those immobilizing type of pain. It's one of those "feel good" aches and pains, is there is any such thing!<br />
We were very fortunate last night to have mats on the floor. The local Aikido was having a weekend seminar and had asked it they could leave the mats out. Of course we were more than glad to accommodate the request. (^^)<br />
It was a good opportunity for my Pokemons to experience ukemi or the art of breaking a fall. I have always wanted to have a carpet or mat to lay on the floor, but there is no storage room for additional flooring. so we have to practice on the concrete floor. Naturally no ukemi can be practiced. I recall doing a demo on a gym floor (^^). The sound of my body hitting the wooden floor sure had an impact on the audience but I cannot recommend doing it frequently. Gahahahaha<br />
Although proper ukemi protects you from major harm, any contact with a hard surface has its price!<br />
My body had no problem remembering all the Judo warm up exercises and ukemi, but.......when you haven't done them in a decade or so, the body has a major adjustment to do! Gahahahaha. Like anything in life you have to "do it" constantly or the body forgets the toll it takes.<br />
Many people do not equate karate with mat work. But that is far from the truth. Karate includes throws and ground work to include chokes and joint manipulation. Karate would not be complete without it. It was very interesting to see my students challenge themselves to something new.<br />
What may seem simple to any judoka or wrestler is something difficult for someone who has never done it before.<br />
I wanted to make sure my students had an idea of how to protect their heads when pushed or tripped down. We concentrated on Ushiro ukemi. Perhaps when we have another chance with the mats I will teach them Mae ukemi and Yoko Ukemi. Ukemi is an art itself.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Fufufufu. My Mini Pokemons sure have a unique way of "paying attention" (^^) Here I am showing the basic of basics of ukemi. The art of "slapping the mat" Not recommended for concrete floors or pavements. Gahahahahaha! Gravel is also not a good surface to do ukemi. However, ukemi will protect you from any major injuries, especially to your head!</div>

<br />
(^^) Judo warm ups (only a partial) is lot more harder than you think! Mommies and Daddies had a big challenge last night. Perhaps they all have the same aches and pains that I have this morning!<br />
<br />
Towards the end of practice gave a brief demonstration on the application of Mawashiuke. There are times when the Pokemons copy the movements of a particular waza but have no idea WHY they do it a certain way. It is probably unrealistic to expect them to understand the progression and connection of learning Kihon waza. As I mentioned earlier we normally do not have mats. Therefore we do not practice take downs. It would be too dangerous on a concrete floor, especially for the Mini Pokemons. for that matter the adults. One of the challenges of teaching children is to convey to them the concept of control.<br />

Hmmm. My Mini Pokemons are getting the hang of sitting properly and listening. Thanks to Taylor for checking up on the Minis.....(^^)<br />
<br />
Talking about having to practice continuously....need to improve my video editing and uploading skills.<br />
It is taking too much time. Gahahahahaha<br />

A preview of a website for Sekai Sou Kyokushin</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have lost count how many Kyokushin organizations are in the world and that is not counting all the "independent" groups that do not affiliate themselves with a Kyokushin organization.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The strange part of it all is that all these organizations proclaim that they are teaching the true Kyokushin that was taught by Oyama Sosai. So sad that if indeed all of them are teaching the "true'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Kyokushin then why the splits. From my personal standpoint, it is just a bunch of egos and to some greed. The need to be the Honcho.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All the leaders of the groups have paid their "dues" in sweat and blood. No doubt about it. They all have a place in Kyokushin history. They just don't get along with each other, plain and simple.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Somewhere along the line things got sidetracked.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are others that created their completely new style such as Daido Juku and Ashihara Kaikan. Although they have Kyokushin as its background they are no longer Kyokushin and do not use the Kyokushin "brand name". They made a clean cut. Now I may not be 100% accurate in my analysis, but that is how I see it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I left Kyokushin when my Sensei broke off and formed his own group. Nothing really changed in the contents. We just cut off the organizational ties. In Japan, I built the Yokohama branch of the organization. When I retired and returned to Hawaii, I found most of the Black Belts gone and no Dojo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We practiced at Kapiolani Park. Sensei nor anyone else tried to find a site to practice. I finally found a site and all it amounted to were claims by non-practicing Kouhais that I was shouldn't be opening up a Branch. Hmmmm. Long story short, I left the organization. It was hard for Yachiyo as she started with Sensei and felt a loyalty to him. I understood that and recommended she continue under him but being my wife, it had barriers that could not be hurdled. Now she goes to the Hawaii branch of Kyokushinkai as well as helping me out when she can. Although she has already earned a Nidan she is a yellow belt. No problem as far as I am concerned. It is funny that she knows more Kata than some of her Senpais as well having suffered more fractures and concussions than her Senpais along her way to Black Belt. Not a problem as she just wants to practice and keep her roots in Kyokushin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The important thing is that your believe in your training regardless of affiliation. Train hard, sweat, bleed and bruise along with your commitment. Leave the politics to the honchos. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just saying. (^^) OSU!</div>

Kauai's Grand Canyon</div>
<br />
Da Boss aka Yachi (Mrs. Kimura) took a mini-vacation to the island of Kauai. Since we have a fifteen year old dog that is blind we have to travel separately as we cannot leave the dog at a pet hotel. The only other option is to have her sister and mother fly in from Japan to take care of the dog. A stranger would have a very difficult time with "Yuta" aka Michael, the Chihuahua. (^^)<br />
Thought I would share the videos and photos she sent from Kauai. Enjoy! Hope the vid works!<br />
