Hidetaka Nishiyama & Richard C. Brown (übersetzt von Schlatt)

Für traditionelle Karatekas eine Quelle außerordentlicher Inspiration. Als Nishiyama sein Werk Die Kunst der leeren Hand verfasste, war er noch ein junger Meister. Damals stellte er das Karate im Lichte der Auffassungen vor, die etwa um die Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts von der Japan Karate Association (JKA) vertreten wurde. Er gibt einen Überblick über die wichtigsten Trainingsmethoden und die Grundprinzipien der Selbstverteidigung, die in jener Zeit üblich waren und die ersten Regeln, die jemals für Karate-(kumite-)wettkämpfe in der JKA formuliert worden sind.

Karate-Do Nyumon, deutsche Erstausgabe by Schlatt

Gichin Funakoshi, übersetzt von Ralph P. Görlach

This compilation from his unpublished of writings, personal notes, and records of Funakoshi Gichin is now for the first time in German language. It is one of the most important publications that we have from the early stages of the written form of karate. In it, Funakoshi manifests itself to the history, philosophy and technique of the original martial arts of on Okinawa.

The small factory is so significant that his original text is recorded by the Renomierverlag Kodansha in the series the master introductory. Parts of the Nyûmon certainly belong to the oldest available texts of karate. To portray this martial art before the background of the world in the late 19th century medieval-themed on Okinawa, with its close association with the Chinese culture. In this time, the youth of Funakoshi falls.

When Funakoshi in retrospect remembers, blur the boundaries between myth and reality in a way that was quite natural for his medieval strong thinking in his perception of the karate. For example in the gripping portrayal of the legendary two struggle between the great masters of karate Matsumura and Uehara. In her emotional and perceptual world of the Ancient Orient might confront one last time in full clarity us. Funakoshi sings the ideal of non-violent, Grandmaster karate as well as whose relentless linking with the ultimate question about life and death.

The Nyumon (lit. Gateway) provides such access does not Go ahead the technical, but also the emotional world of the original karate. In addition to the main techniques and ten no kata explained his views to karate Funakoshi in this work and gives many helpful hints.

It shows as well as in the field of tension of life-threatening conflicts, the principle that a Karateka never results in the first attack, can endure. Karate do Nyumon leaves us even today is still the development of the modern Kumite with track at hand of the now almost forgotten Kumite form ten no kata, Omote - and URA version.

Many old photographs of Funakoshi's direct disciples are all ahead of his son Gigo, our today's Karate considers essentially goes back to the inspiring. But there are also many photos, which may seem unusual to us. The performers of the ten no kata are masters of Shoto-Kai by Shigeru Egami. These recordings can detect, in what different direction has evolved the doctrine of the founder of Shotokan style.

Siegfried Johannes Schwemmer

The author, Dr. phil. Siegfried Johannes Schwemmer, 4th Dan karate, a pupil of Alfred Heubeck, is theologian and pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria. He practises karate on the way of Zen. He has dealt intensively with mysticism and combines the tradition of martial arts his thinking and his practice with the Christian spirituality. This unusual looking opens herself to him on both systems.
The fighters stands on its own. He is ready to take any disadvantage for themselves in buying his target, his mission to fulfil its mandate. He can not count the applause of average people. And he has the power to waive this applause.
The fighter is fighting above all an inner struggle. He fights with his doubts, his fears, his loneliness. He is fighting for his courage, his compassion and his stamina. He struggles, being a man who does not lose his humanity.

Saleem shows that this is a cross-cultural phenomenon: it shows up in Buddha's lone lion reputation, it is located in the Taoist insight that one to the applause of the crowd, without who lives, according to the eternal way and it is to To find representing Jesus against the establishment of his time in the combative positions: the fighter stands alone. And he is ready to accept the consequences of his stance and take of the world.

Der Bunkai-Code by Schlatt

Alfred Heubeck

Bezüglich des Bunkai der Katas gibt es genaugenommen nur eine Sicherheit: Die ursprünglich für eine beliebige Kata-Technik vorgesehene Anwendung ist nicht überliefert! Weil es über die Art und Weise, wie Katas im Allgemeinen entstanden sind, nur spärliche Hinweise gibt, ist es noch nicht einmal klar, ob einer konkreten Bewegung überhaupt jemals ein bestimmtes Bunkai zugeordnet war.

Die alten Karateschulen haben früher ihre Techniken und oft auch die Katas selbst generell nicht öffentlich gemacht. Sie wurden wie militärische Geheimnisse gehütet. Und dies sehr wirksam! Wenn wir daher heute Katas auf ihre Selbstverteidigungs-Anwendungen hin untersuchen möchten, also in dieser Richtung Bunkai betreiben, sind wir auf einige Grundregeln und allgemeinlogische Überlegungen angewiesen.

Alfred Heubeck hat solche Regeln und Überlegungen gesammelt und ausgewertet. Auf dieser Grundlage hat er einen Schlüssel zum Kata-Verständnis entwickelt, den Bunkai-Code. Mit Hilfe dieses Bunkai-Codes können wir nun heutzutage versuchen, auf die Anwendungs-Bedeutung der Katas schließen und dann effiziente Selbstverteidigungs-Anwendungen entwickeln.

Chronik des DDR-Karate-Verbandes by Schlatt

Andreas Mischkewitz

Die Nachgeborenen staunen: Karate war in der ehemaligen DDR verboten. Das Verbot war politisch bedingt. Bis Ende der 1970er Jahre führte Karate daher allenfalls ein Schattendasein in gesellschaftlichen Nischen. Das klingt nach geheimem Karate, das erinnert an das alte Okinawa und ist doch deutsche Zeitgeschichte, fast noch Gegenwartsgeschichte.

In der DDR gab es für die einfachen Leute kaum Literatur über und keine kompetenten Trainer für asiatische Kampfkünste. Das verhinderte die im Westen beginnende, fast schon boomende Verbreitung asiatischer Kampfkünste ab den frühen 1960er Jahren in der DDR. Eine Ausnahme war das Judo.

Während sich Karate im Westen als anerkannte Sportart für Freizeit und Wettkampf etablierte, fielen Karate und andere Kampfkünste in der DDR sportpolitischer und propagandistischer Doktrin zum Opfer und wurden untersagt. Erst im Zuge der friedlichen Revolution in der DDR, als die Menschen sich politische und gesellschaftliche Freiräume zurückeroberten, wurde Karate legalisiert - zunächst als Sportart unter Aufsicht des DTSB und dem daran angeschlossenen Judo-Verband.

Andreas Mischkewitz legt nun eine Chronik dieser Entwicklung vor und zeichnet das Entstehen des Karate-Verbandes der DDR im Kontext der historischen Ereignisse jener Tage nach. Zeitzeugenberichte, Archivmaterial und Dokumente der Stasi-Unterlagenbehörde lassen diesen Prozess für den Leser lebendig werden.

Eloquent lädt uns Mischkewitz auf eine hochinteressante Zeitreise ein und vergleicht - ohne zu polarisieren - die beiden deutschen Staaten der damaligen Zeit. Was die Darstellung besonders interessant macht, ist neben dem sportpolitischen Aspekt der gesellschaftspolitische Blick auf das Thema, also die Beschreibung der alltäglichen Realität. Wie war es denn, in einem Land Karate zu betreiben, in dem das verboten war? Mischkewitz gibt uns einen spannenden Rückblick auf unsere deutsche Geschichte, auf eine Zeit, die viele von uns noch selbst aus eigenem Erleben kennen.

Das Buch ist solide recherchiert und orientiert sich an belegbaren Dokumenten. In diesem Sinne ist dieses Buch ein echtes Geschichtsbuch. Was aus heutiger Sicht nicht belegbar ist, also all die Sagen darüber, was sich hinter den Kulissen angeblich abgespielt haben soll, hat in dieses Buch keinen Eingang gefunden. Es ist daher vor allem für all jene spannend zu lesen, die DDR von diesseits oder jenseits der Mauer tatsächlich erlebt haben.

Für die jüngeren Leser, die das geteilte Deutschland gefühlsmäßig nicht mehr nachvollziehen können, ist es vielleicht Anlass, aus konkreter Geschichte für die Gegenwart zu lernen. Es berichtet von einer Zeit, in der der politische Satz Geltung hatte: Zäune sind eine Lösung! - Insoweit ist Mischkewitz's Buch - wie alle guten Geschichtsbücher - durchaus von gewisser Aktualität.
