AFRAID TO FALL
T am fourteen years old and have
been taking Judo for about 8 months
TTm almost ready to go on to my next
belt but I probably won't unless 1
solve my one big prober. I is that
a randori or shiai elimination I'm ale
ways afraid F might get hurt from a
fallon my collarbone or someplace else.
I guess this started when 1 fist began
and saw some advanced students play
in a shiai, One of them broke his
shoulder and another one his. wrist.
Don’t get me wrong, 1 am not criticiz~
ing the martial arts. I thing Judo is a
reat sport, Perhaps you could give me
some advice.
Robert Martin
Brooklyn, New York
\Somesimes accidents do happen on
the mats But if you are trained to fall
properly by a qualified instructor and
if you are doing the falls corectly your
fear of getting hurt should have been
eliminated extomaticaly
Fear of getting hurt reveals that you
are sill not sure of yourself. Talk 10
your instructor and have firm throw
you correcily over and over until you
feel confident thar you can fall like
youre walking.
FLOW OF “KI”
T have read many of your issues of
Black Belt, and the articles pertaining
to the developing of the “Ki" were of
particular interest to me.
T would like to know if the develop-
ing of the flow of the “KI” has any
value in the study of Tang-Soo-Do
(South Korean Style Karate)?
would be interested to know, if this
does apply to Tang-Soo-Do where I
‘might contact someone in my area who
hhas mastered the flow of the "Ki". If it
dors apply, and there is no one in my
area, is there a book on the market that
would be of value? Would this book be
able to teach me; without the aid of
someone who has mastered the flow of
the "MP?
‘Thave been taking Tang-Soo-Do for
six months and have reached 7th de
‘gree White Belt, and would like to
6
know if there would be any conflict
starting at this point in my study?
Roy L. Burress, Sr.
Beacon Falls, Conn.
As you go deeper into the martial
‘aris you will find that all the masters
try to study the art not only physically
‘but also to use mental training or their
"Ki". Some arts emphasize the “ki
‘much sooner and each has its own way
of trying t0 obtain the “ki” flow.
Aikido is one of she few arts which
tries to emphasize “ki” as soon as
possible. Others wait untit they feel the
person is ready 10 learn the flow of
"ki". If you smudy your art from a
quelified instructor, he may be able
to explain this to you more explicitly.
Te study the “ki” through a book is
very difficult because there is no way to
test yourself to see if you are extending
your “Ri” properly. You must remén-
ber everybody has a “ki” and they can
develop it,
‘TRUE PURPOSE OF THE
MARTIAL ARTS
Thave been an enthusiastic reader of
your magazine almost since its frst
issue and I have great hopes that it
will continue to grow and improve.
Black Belt fills a real need for an
English language publication devoted
to the marital arts, but it can fill this
need only if it gives, and I quote from
the Sune 1965 issue, “The true presen
tation of the martial arts." If this is
your true intention, then perhaps you
won't mind a little constructive ef
cism, and will clear up a few points
which have been confusing me.
1 presume that you approve of the
articles you print and agree with what
is said in them, unless you make some
statement to the contrary. It is certain
ly justified for me to believe that your
editors speak for the magazine. In the
Tune 1968 issue, you sarcastically re-
plied to a letter from a reader that
Black Belt did not indulge in “pious
hypocrisy.” ‘You went on to state that
combat is what first attracts people 10
the martial arts, and implied that if he
et sree yay
escmrniearama ts
did not approve of combat he should
take up gymnasties or philosophy. In
that same issue there was an article
which made the flat statement that ef-
fectiveness in a combat art depends on
more than mere mastery of technique.
Lest you include me with the pious
hhypocrits, let me state now that T see
nothing wrong with a man defen
himself against an unprovoked attack
bby any means available, What I do ob-
jest to is the implication that combat
effectiveness is the ultimate purpose
Of the study of the martial arts. I know
that is not what you stated, but that is
the implication. This is in direct con-
tradiction to everything T have ever
read, heard, or was taught by my
teacher in Japan. A man works toward
one goal in the martial arts; the de-
velopment of his spirit. Everything he
learns as he progresses is only a step to
this goal. My questiog, sir, is whether
you are advocating skilled mayhem, or
self-mastery through the study of the
fuartial arts?
The former editor, Bob Wells, did
not mean to imply that the ultimate
purpose of the martial arss is combat
‘effectiveness. He was only making an
observation as f0 the initial motivation
of most persons beginning one of the
‘martial aris. Mr. Wells agrees with you,
‘as I do, thar eventually the spiritual as-
eet is of prime importance 10 those
who practice @ martial art other than
caswally.

Without
Kata?
‘The trend in American Karate is toward Kumite and away
from Kata
‘Why? What is the difference between karate and any sport
if i is strictly Kumite?
Katas, the formal exercises of Karate, consist of a series
of techniques performed in sequence. They include all the
various hand, foot, and body shifting techniques used in
kicking, punching and blocking. Katas are based on the
imaginary existenes ef four to eight enemies and provide
practice in meeting an attack from any quarter. There are
fore than fifty kstas, into which are woven all the various
techniques of attack and defense. While Kumite is of fairly
recent origin, the Katas were devised by masters in antiquity,
and have been handed down from the past.
American karatemen want karate to become popular, a
spectator event. This is in no way reprehensible. But what
ought fo be popularized is Karate not Kumite. Karate without
Kota would be like figure skating without schoo! figures,
language without grammar, or an army without drills.
Kata is the form and discipline of Karate. The framework
that makes Karate not just a sport like boxing, baseball or
basketball; but an art. And just as any art must be studied
to be appreciated, so must Karate.
Symphonies, art exhibits, the ballet all draw large crowd:
all are popular; but their popularity is based on an unde
standing of them as arts. Karatemen must develop this under-
standing of their art if Karate in America is to be other than
