You know, the martial art of Karate sometimes gets a bad rap. You see all the UFC guys knocking the stuffings out of their opponents, and you wonder why, if Karate is so darned good, you don’t see it in the octagon. The problem, to be honest, lies with Classical Karate training methods.

You want to have a perfectly designed body, and Shorin Ryu, Wado Ryu, or some other Karate System is the key! There are, however, several things you should come to grips with before you begin this journey. These things have to do with what a perfect body is.

When it comes down to down and dirty self defense, a hard fist is especially desired. Of course, what training method does one use to get a fist hard enough to make for a powerful punch? The answer is through the use of good, solid Karate training.

Didn’t know that the man in black could fix Martial Arts Systems, did you? Well, actually, his advice is for fixing automobiles, sort of, but it leads into the fighting disciplines. And it is fine advice indeed.

There will be preferences when it comes time to learn Martial Arts, but there are also a number of things that are fairly obvious, and that we will be able to agree about. Interestingly, I came across the information I am relaying here many years ago, and have used it myself. It deals with analyzing the worth of media in transmitting information. The worst way to absorb data is through the movies or television. This is because the martial art techniques that you will see on the big screen, whether it is the art of Steven Segal, Jackie Chan, or whoever, has been altered for the camera. Yes, it may look amazing, but stuntmen and camera cuts are doing the real work.

You can cure yourself of the sickness of insanity, and the whole world of being insane, if you can discover Real Karate. Now, we are not talking real karate videos on youtube or some other TV here, nor some other fantasy. We are talking about the type of martial arts studied over the ages that work on different levels for everybody.

Perhaps you have heard the old saying…’If you don’t know Sanchin, you don’t know Karate.’ It happens that this statement is absolutely true. It is true because when done correctly Sanchin kata results in a liberation of fighting energy beyond any form known.
