Karate ni feels Nashi In the karate ones not is who attacks for first

To supply an explanation of this principle for the karate ones it has been Gichin Funakoshi, however it derives originally from the Japanese Bushido in which it was proposed to teach that a samurai it must maintain the mastery of just intelletto in whichever situation and sfoderare the sword to the first provocazione or smallness.
This norm serves to remind practicing the meant one of the intelletto serene and controlled based on which practicing to advanced level is distinguished from the principiante. In the karate ones such meant it has been widened, adapting itself to the philosophically marked tendency of the budo, where it expresses burning desire of peace and typical harmony of the man matured through the martial limbs. In the kata one of karate-I give that comes represented symbolically from the fact that the first and last technique consists in the defense.
The expression "karate ni feels nashi" often comes used to the times puts into effect which said them modern for the dojo, but for more not illustrated sufficiently. In the traditional sense this fundamental philosophy of the martial limbs comprises two elements integrated to you. In the first place extension that the martial limbs are aimed at self-defense and not at the competition, in the case comes place points out abnormal on the attack techniques. Master same Funakoshi never did not authorize the exercise of the attack techniques which substantial part of the training. The traditional masters see in the established exercises of attack in varying aimed at the competitions a violation of the principle in word, violation that door practicing to brood inner attitudes mistakes to you that they contrast with the spirit of the budo.
The first one meant of the principle in examination is legacy wing philosophy of the Budo of the Sen not Sen and Go not Sen. Prendere the initiative, independently from the situation of self-defense in which it is found to us, is of vital importance "does not have to be first to attack" wants to say that an expert of martial limbs in self-defense will not be never the first one to hit and men that less to hit without control (karate wa gi not tasuke). Moreover the expression de quo expresses the substantially pacific conduct of the mature person in the martial limbs that place above all the modestia and the harmonious cohabitation. Practical della the competitions, aimed to bring back victories to points and to establish on this base who are the best one, come considered a violation of this principle, in how much it is dishonourable of a mature spirit and it does not stop some educational value for the unripe spirit.
To teach the karate ones to the standard of these svalori also today to Okinawa comes considered the ribaltamento of the sense and one violation of the label. The meant second does not refer to the martial limbs, but to the general attitude of the single one in the comparisons of the life. The pacific cohabitation of the men represents from always a problem whose overcoming goes more searched much in the maturity characterizes them and in desire of peace of the single one that not in the search of political solutions. Often it is given for discounted that the peace is a something of in influenzabile, instead in truth is the result of the thought and daily acting. The expression "karate ni feels nashi" us filler to this and recalls the men to the auto-conscience and the pacific alternative.
To find the spiritual being in we means to try and to find these alternatives, in how much they determine the future. To such purpose the great master of Okinawa Shoshin Nagamine said: "the karate ones are a martial art that was developed to the scope of self-defense from the sregolata impending violence, where the physical one hardly trained comes used which arm. Karate-I give however means "life in karate" that is one via of the life that is based on the karate ones, in to which it is gained us and in such a way of it becomes vincitori, without to at all make use of the art in himself and for himself.
Therefore of it can say that karate-I give sight to make to be born the integral man through the exercise in the course of the life ". Parimenti great Japanese master Shigeru Egami declared: "Who wants to teach the way of the true one karate not only must head to survive with the just opposing one, but she must be strained to become tutt' one with he..... Not to never lose automatically does not mean to always win. When it has been understood truly this is rises to the advanced level ".
The reason for which the competition comes considered a violation of this principle is in the sense that it acquires who contravviene to the Budo. In budo the person one practices in order to win if spread, in the competition practices in order to gain the others. The purposes of the competition place the accent on that shape of autorealizzazione in the ambition that instead goes mail to brake with the exercise of budo in how much it, in its numerous sfaccettature, is the cause of the imbalance generated from the unripe human spirit.
Master Funakoshi to such purpose speaks about "man of the tao" that ambisce to many more burdens and merits at least is felt important: "When a person of the tao achieves the first one dan, gratefulness full load will lower the head. When he obtains the second dan fold head and shoulders. When the third party arrives dan, inchinerà until also and will be gone to house in Hush because nobody knows it. When a man meschino achieves the first one dan, he will run to house to say it to all. If then it arrives to the second dan, one will scramble up on the roofs and the griderà one to four the twenty. If finally it obtains the third party dan, it will mount in machine to will go around of the city strombazzando ".
E' in this karate example that the phrase "ni feels nashi" finds one complete explanation.
