A Picture of Miyagi Chojun is Situated to the Far-right!
Translator's Note: According to the HISTORY of the International Meibukan Goju Ryu Karate-Do Federation - during 1952 Miyagi Chojun gave permission for his leading disciple Mr. Yagi Akitoku [八木明德] (1912-2003) to establish his own Dojo! The following year (in 1953) Miyagi Chojun formally passed the 'robe' and 'belt' to Yagi Akitoku confirming his status as the lineage inheritor of the Goju Ryu Karate-Do lineage. Yagi Akitoku is also known as Yagi Meibukan - as 'Meibukan' (明布馆 - Ming Wu Guan) which translates as 'Bright' or 'Pure' 'Warrior Training Hall' - as this is the name he gave his first Dojo and the manner in which his lineage of Goju Ryu was referred to thereafter. Whilst researching the various histories of Goju Ryu preserved within the 'International Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate-Do Federation' (IOGKF) - I have never come across this man's name! Indeed, it was only whilst researching the history of 'Meibukan' on that Style's Hong Kong site (in preparation for translating this article) that I learned of Yagi Meibukan and the general attitude of respect that abounds for him amongst the martial arts community of China, Okinawa and Japan! I have 'Maria Manalastas' and her 2018 (Chinese language) article conveying her journey to Okinawa and her training in the Karate-Do of the MURASAKIMURA Dojo! She is a University student from the UK whose ancestry hails from the Philippines. As we have very close ties with the Filipino people - we welcome her interesting article - which I translate here!

The 'Shuto' Strike or 'Knife' Hand of Karate-Do!
Hello everyone! I'm Maria from the Okinawa Holiday Hackers Editorial Department. It has been four months since I came to Okinawa, and now I am experiencing the Karate-Do Dojo in the kingdom of MURASAKIMURA. There I met Mr. Kinjo, Mr. Kevin and Mr. Florian!
Senior Instructor Kinjo (full name ‘金城 敬章’ - ‘Kinjo Hiroaki’) is the Head of the ‘International Meibukan Goju Ryu Karate-Do Federation’ - that is the ‘Bright Martial Training Hall’ which is said to be the ‘true’ and ‘genuine’ inheritor of Goju Ryu Karate-Do tradition as founded by Miyagi Chojun (1888-1953). The ‘Hard - Soft’ (Goju) Style of Karate-Do – as led by Kinjo Hiroaki is a member of the ‘Yomitan’ Branch of the ‘Daoist Alliance’.
Mr. Kevin Chaplin and Mr. Florian Poupard are Technical Instructors associated with the Okinawa Traditional Kobayashi Ryu Karate-Do and Kobudo Federation and the World Shorin Ryu Society, passing on their knowledge of Karate-Do to the world. It is slightly bewildering to gain access to such expert teachers so easily! Mr. Kevin Chaplin, for instance, is British and started trained at just 12-years old – he earned his Black Belt at 24-years old! How long does it take to earn a Black Belt? Well, that all depends on motivation and circumstance.
From the left are Mr. Kevin, I, Mr. Kinjo, Myself and Fellow staff, Mr. Florian.
With regular training and a high standard of commitment coupled with excellent instruction – a Black Belt can be earned in three or four years – but it all depends. Some people like to take their time and progress slowly but surely – focusing on different skills and on overcoming various weaknesses or shortcomings. Sometimes, individuals have no interest in grading and spend years working-out at the back of the Dojo! I am told that an old Black Belt sometimes fades to ‘gray’ and that there are various types of Black Belt all the way up to ‘White Belt’ again – an honour rarely bestowed in Japan and Okinawa (and only then usually by the Japanese Government itself – as such an individual becomes a ‘National Treasure’)! This means the student has completed the entire circle of mind-body self-cultivation and is beyond grading!
As the practice is barefoot – I do not need to wear trainers. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself! I am a student studying at a university in the UK. I am doing a one-year Internship in Okinawa, and I have been living in Okinawa, Japan since September 2017. Before coming to Okinawa, I thought about what I wanted to do, and thought of ‘Karate’ and ‘snorkelling’. Especially Karate for self-defence. The turbulent society here has granted me ‘opportunity’ and ‘result’!
In the UK, I have also taken many Karate courses described as ‘Women's Self-Defence" - but no matter as they were all single-shot – and I have almost forgotten what I have learned before the next class. If you encounter an emergency, what skills should you use to deal with it? When asked this question I had no idea of the answer! I really want to learn about self-defence properly and to a greater depth. Even if it's just a little bit of good quality knowledge – such learning can make you feel more at ease!

Note the Pictures of the Great Masters on the Wall!
When I was a child, I was often taught that ‘even at noon, never go out alone, and definitely go out with someone you know’, but this attitude did not teach us about self-defence, which made me feel very insecure as a child. When traveling alone from England to the unknown land of ‘Okinawa’, I decided to development my abilities and make the most of this time. After I asked Mr. Kinjo and Mr. Kevin who teach Karate-Do in MURASAKIMURA, they said that the techniques are different depending on the Karate-Do ‘Style’. I was surprised and found a more attractive side to Karate-Do than just self-defence. There are so many more and different elements than simply nullifying an attack!
It may be an exaggeration to describe this, but through the principles of Karate-Do training - we can connect to our lives and discover our own true value! We become self-aware through the process of concentrating upon our body posture and movement – as well as upon being aware of our state of mind! Awareness in the mind ‘expands’ throughout the body and a general sense of ‘Wholeness’ develops!
I am able to see things from a ‘Beginner’s’ perspective – even though I have a little bit of experience. Prior to coming to Okinawa I had no idea that Karate-Do has ‘different’ Styles! Self-defence courses are very basic and do not bother with background information. The teachers charge a lot of money and spend a few hours showing the most basic movements. In the Dojo of MURASAKIMURA things are very different! Here, two ‘Styles’ share the training space harmoniously! This is the ‘Kobayashi Ryu’ Style (which moves sharply from left to right and right to left – whilst the ‘Goju Ryu’ Style uses big, circular movements which flow smoothly forward and back! In this Dojo the differences between Styles are respected and preserved – but this does not stop a positive interaction!

The Beautiful Setting of the MURASAKIMURA Dojo!
Although the MURASAKIMURA Dojo is very strict – it is also very welcoming, and thousands of people visit every year! This led to the development of the MURASAKIMURA Hotel which is not very far from the Dojo! We must enter the Dojo with respect by bowing at the door and walking calmly to our training spot on the Dojo floor. We then must sit down in the Japanese ‘Zen’ style and ‘meditate’ so that the mind and body ‘relaxes’ before the in-depth technical training begins. Leaving the stresses and tensions of the world ‘outside’ is a unique quality of ‘Karate-Do’ - and is certainly a cultural attribute I could not find in my home country of the Philippines! As training happens all through the day – the type of training varies depending upon the time of day (and the type of Yin-Yang energy in the air). After meditation we loosen the body from bottom to top and work on strengthening. After that there is technical practice, Kata and sparring, etc. Although basic agendas are followed – sometimes individual students have come for a particular type of training and the teacher(s) separate the class into appropriate groups.
From the tips of the toes to the top of the head and to the tips of fingers – every part of the body was systematically trained so that the next day I was as stiff as a board and thought my body was going to fall apart! The instructors are happy to share a joke or have a laugh – but do not over-step the line of respect or the training will take an unexpected turn! Although this Dojo is open to the general public - ‘special’ classes also are given for disciples and students who are looking to achieve a very high level in Karate-Do! This training is different and not for the faint of heart – although we were not allowed to see any of it. We were told ‘stories’ by other students although the instructors said nothing. One of my favourite areas of Karate-Do is the weapons training! I had never seen this in the UK and absolutely love all the different implements! This was the area I requested extra training within. One of the stories is that an Okinawan King once banned weaponry amongst the population – and so all the Karate-Do weapons look like farming tools!
Every part of the Dojo floor must be regularly cleaned and maintenanced. The Okinawans (who follow many Chinese customs) say it is an ‘honour’ to do this! To make this system work, everyone must be polite and well disciplined! There are many different training paths being pursued at any one time – and rarely are you left alone. I personally like it when large groups all move together – punching, kicking and blocking their way up and down the hall! It takes tenacity to enter the Karate-Do Dojo every day and voluntarily submit yourself to the hard discipline of Karate-Do training! Teacher Kevin seems to have some doubts about modern karate. Nowadays, many people just want to learn the skills that appear in the movies or the movements that can get high scores in the competition. However, compared with those who just want to get the first place, the number of learners who aim to get a Black Belt has gradually increased recently, and the teachers are also very happy because of this.

Traditional Body-Building Devices Used in Goju Ryu!
That's what I thought at first too (Can't you just learn the techniques that appear in the movies?) but as I wrote above, having a connection to everyday life is the beauty of karate. Whether it's karate or other fighting skills, you must never retreat when defending, you need to keep moving forward. Teacher Kevin said that this is how he learned. There are very few backwards Karate-Do skills, and so is our life. Although it is a very old-fashioned statement, just recalling the past will not help you, and will not change anything at all. But every next step, as much as possible, move forward and change according to what you want. You can learn a lot of life lessons from the techniques and movements of Karate-Do. Decide in advance what kind of Karate-Do you want to learn. I would recommend visiting the MURASAKIMURA Dojo and talk to the instructors who will be happy to talk with you about all your training needs.
Timing and Accuracy Are Practiced Over and Over!

大家好！我是Okinawa Holiday Hackers编辑部的玛利亚。
来冲绳已经过了四个月了，现在我在体验王国MURASAKIMURA的空手道场。
在那边遇到了金城老师·Kevin老师·Florian老师。
金城老师（本名：金城 敬章）为国际明武馆刚柔流空手道联盟 读谷支部所属的金城空手道道场的馆主。
Kevin老师（本名：Kevin Chaplin先生）跟Florian老师（本名: Florian Poupard）冲绳传统小林流空手道‧古武道联盟 世界王修会内的技术指导员，向全世界传递关于空手道的知识。
不用怀疑，全部都是黑带保持者！☆
可以这么简单的见到这么厉害的老师们，让我觉得有些难以置信….！
这次从英国来的的学徒们都是指名Kevin老师来传授武技！
Kevi老师十二岁开始学习空手道，但也不仅一直在学空手道，也有在学习其他武术。在年仅24岁时就获得了黑带。
（（取得黑带到底要花多少时间呢？））这样想着就去问了老师，老师说快的话三年、四年，大部分的人在锻炼技术跟体力上反而会花上更多的时间。
黑带后，是灰带么？
一开始看到Kevin老师的腰带，
（（这个是灰色么？原来还有这种颜色～之前都不知道～～～））
想着，就赶紧去问老师。老师说：「拿到黑带后，不停地锻炼，它慢慢的褪色，然后就变成灰色了」原来还有这种不为人知的故事哦！
黑带不是终点，在这之后还不断地精益求精，这才是真正的强大！！
还有，在练习中是赤脚练习，不需要穿运动鞋。
Oh，在这之前忘了自我介绍了。
我是在英国的大学就读的学生。
正在冲绳进行为期一年的实习，2017年9月开始住在日本冲绳。
来冲绳之前思考了自己想要做些什么，想到了 “空手道” 和 “浮潜” 。尤其是空手道，特别想尝试。为了Self defence（防身术）。在这里动荡的社会…。
契机与结果
在英国我也上过很多次 “女子防身术” 的空手道的课程，但无论哪次都是单次式的，等下次上课的时候之前学了什么几乎都忘了。如果遇到紧急的时间，到底要用什么技巧来对应呢？当被这么问的时候，我连答案都说不出来。所以真心地想要再次学习关于防身术的技能。哪怕是一点点只是也好，能让自己安心一点。
小时候经常被教导 “就算中午也绝对不要一个人出门，绝对要跟认识的人一起出去” ，但却没有教我们关于自我防卫的知识，反而让儿时的我很没有安全感。
只身一人从英国漂洋过海来到未知的土地冲绳” 时，决定了解自身的能力，并且充分利用好这段时间。
询问了在MURASAKIMURA教导空手道的金城老师、Kevin老师后，他们说根据不同的流派技术也不同，让我吃了一惊，发现了比防身术更有魅力的一面。
这样形容或许有点夸张，但通过空手道的行动原理可以联系到我们的人生，进而发觉自己的价值。打破了自己是由身体的各个部位构成的认知，而是深切体会到了人体不仅仅是单纯的呼吸以及动作，而是通过身体所有的构造协作运行的。
（初学者的我也能理解）两个流派最大的差异是“移动的方向”。小林流是左右两侧大幅移动、刚柔流则是前后大幅移动。
虽然是不同的流派，但深刻体会到了流派间相互的尊重。
道场的导览
这里是MURASAKIMURA的道场哦！
很像是电影当中的场景吧！？光看到就让我超激动的。
MURASAKIMURA内也紧邻着 “MURASAKIMURA酒店” ，听说为了学空手道而来长住的客人也不少呢。
行过礼之后进入道场，首先从冥想开始。
充满紧张感的寂静，虽然自己一直想静下心，但因为自我意识太重而导致一直分心去关注别的事物，反而渐行渐远。像这般安静，在我的祖国菲律宾是绝对不可能会有的。
根据当天练习内容的不同，热身运动也不同
冥想结束后，接下来是热身运动。
Kevin老师和我说，空手道和其他的运动不同，是根据当天练习的内容，热身运动的内容和长度也不一样。有时甚至需要花30分钟来做热身运动。
由Kevin老师所带领的MURASAKIMURA的空手道达人，不管大家有没有经验都非常欢迎，十分亲切温和，但千万别被骗了(笑)
做好第二天自己身体会像玩具总动员的蛋头先生一样碎成一地的觉悟。
（隔天全身仿佛都要散架了…。感觉要死了。）
武器
热身运动结束后，进入道场时一直让我很在意的武器放置所。
从前冲绳的某位皇帝曾经颁布 “禁止使用武器令” 的条例，所以大部分武器看起来像是农具的样子。
Kevin老师稍微教了一下短拐的使用方法。短拐的拿法和角度不同，给对手给予的伤害也会不一样。「以最大的力量沿着手臂握着短拐」Kevin先生如是说。
将道场的空间运用到最大化，调节自己的脚步与攻击。集中在自己的手臂和脚需要摆在哪个位置，思考着是否比刚才的防御、刚才的攻击更加正确。
据说将防御·攻击的一个动作做到完美，需要花上一年。Kevin老师说光看一天下来花了多少时间在那个动作上，就能看出你的腰带是什么颜色。
让我重新见识到能够忍受日复一日的练习的坚韧以及注意到微小的动作的敏锐，这就是空手道的美感。
Kevin老师似乎对于现代的空手道有些疑问。
如今有不少人只想学在电影中出现的技巧或者在比赛中可以得高分的动作，对于动作的原理和意义知之甚少，因此陷入了低潮。但是比起那些只想得到第一名的人，最近以拿到黑带为目标的学习者也逐渐增加，老师也因此而很开心。
一开始我也是这么想的（（不能只单纯地学习电影中出现的技巧吗？））但正如我上面写的，和日常生活有所关联才是空手道的魅力所在。
不管是空手道，还是其他格斗技的练习，防御时决不能后退，需要不断地前进。Kevin老师说他就是这么学习过来的。
几乎没有往后倒退的空手道技巧，我们的生活也是如此。虽然是很老套的说法，只回忆过去对自己没有帮助，根本不会改变什么。但是接来下的每一步，都尽可能的依照自己所想的前进，去改变。
从空手道的手法·技巧上可以学习到很多人生的道理。
事先决定学习什么样的空手道
可以在MURASAKIMURA上的课程中学习到空手道的基础、手法等。
在我的内心中曾经有着 “无法学习空手道的理由” ，但已经因为这次美好的邂逅而消失了。难得来到空手道的发源地，不学习不是很浪费吗？
想学看看、想了解空手道！在荧幕前的美女们！
不仅日文和英文，中文和韩文也可以对应。不来MURASAKIMURA这边学习基础空手道看看吗？穿着空手道服，光听着空手道的由来就会有自己变强的错觉♪
刚学习空手道，或者是正在思考要不要学的帅哥们！
专业的空手道家，或者腰带持有者的你们。推荐你们前往MURASAKIMURA内见见Kevin老师们！
老师们有着指导世界各地学徒的经验，从身体·能力·目标·需求中找到适合你的方法。
在这里不仅仅是老师为你答疑解惑，你也可以一起交流自身的技术和经验，请一定要去MURASAKIMURA道场看看♪
