Japan-Hawaii-New York Karate Net Pals: A nice and lazy Sunday morning.

Time to chill out (^^)　ノンビリと行こうぜ。

　　It's a beautiful Sunday here in Hawaii! Blue skies, a slight breeze, no commuter traffic noise or dropping off of kids at the nearby schools. (^^) A time to relax, perhaps read a book or sit poolside and get a tan. Of course I am sure that those scheduled to compete in the AAU Nationals are already doing their dashes and other "stuff". Well, it takes commitment to compete. Oh well that's a topic I won't discuss this morning. It is too goods a morning to start a debate. Junin Jushoku. 十人十色。

　　清清しいハワイの日曜日。青い空、そよ風、通勤の車の雑音なし、近くの学校の登校の雑音無し　（＾＾）リラックスする一時、読書でもまたはプールサイドで日光浴。ＡＡＵ全米大会の出る選手は多分すでに走りこみやら何やらしているだろう。まー試合に出るって事はそれなりの傾注でやらないと。まーその課題に置いていこう。討論を始めるには勿体無い朝だし。十人十色。

　　I have been reading Ushiro Sensei's book " Karate and Ki" an extremely interesting read. In it he writes "The ultimate goal of martial arts shugyo is kakugo (resolve). This is the spirit of not starting war and the commitment not to let others start one." How does one do that through Budo, a martial art that teaches home to maim and kill people? Is that the difference between Bujutsu and Budo? Or is there a difference?

I guess I think about those things while enjoying my lazy Sunday. (^^)Hmmm I feel like eating some good pancakes with lots of butter and syrup. I think it will be good for my Gikkuri Goshi!

宇城先生の「空手と気」を読んでいる。とても興味深い本でせう。その中で”武道の修行の目標は覚悟である。戦争を始めない心そして他に戦争を始めさせない信念。」注意：英語文を翻訳してので、原本は多分違っていると思うが、ご了承願います。(**:)

どの様に人を怪我させたり、殺したりする術を教える武道を通してそができるのだろうか？武術と武道にう違いがあるのだろうか？まーそんな事を考えてゆっくり今日を過ごすかな？

　　うううう。でもバターとシロップたっぷりの美味しいパンケーキが食べたい気もする。多分ギックリ腰に良いかも。
