JUGEMテーマ:ノンフィクション Uehara Sensei did not only teach me karate techniques. One day, after finishing practice, I was changing clothes when Sensei noticed my bare back and said, “Your body is quite misaligned. If it stays that way, it will harm your health and prevent you from improving in karate. You should correct those distortions. Lie down here.” He then adjusted the looseness in my h...

JUGEMテーマ:ノンフィクション In other words, Master Uehara was someone who had studied both Goju-ryu and the Southern Chinese martial arts that served as the prototype for Goju-ryu. This was the point that distinguished him from other Goju-ryu teachers. Moreover, during his military service on the Chinese mainland, he interacted with local martial artists, which gave his movements a unique quality. I myself witnessed many times Master Uehar...

JUGEMテーマ:ノンフィクション Because my kung fu Master became busy with work and also began preparing to return to his home country, I was no longer able to receive instruction in Chinese martial arts from him. So, what he recommended to me was to go and study Goju-ryu Karate under Sensei Yukinori Uehara. My master had once visited Uehara-sensei’s dojo, since a boy he had previously taught was one of Uehara-sensei’s students.  ...

JUGEMテーマ:ノンフィクション The phrase in the subject line, “Panic Strength”, is something everyone is familiar with. It refers to the phenomenon where, in a crisis, the brain’s limiter is released and a person can exert strength that would normally be unthinkable. I once heard a story about a woman whose husband was trapped under a car in an accident. Shouting “Darling!” she lifted the car with one hand and p...

JUGEMテーマ:ノンフィクション Back in my mid-twenties, I decided it was a brilliant idea to vanish into the mountains for three whole weeks to train karate. Yes, like a budget version of a martial arts manga hero. 🍚 My diet? Rice, canned food, and whatever fish I could sweet-talk out of the nearby river. For the first week, I didn’t see a single human soul. At first, I was lonely and craved conversation. But after a while, ...

JUGEMテーマ:ノンフィクション It was the year after Senior C had found employment and returned to Shimonoseki. I had already graduated from university, but instead of taking a job, I was devoting myself to preparations for running my own dojo. One summer day, Senior C came from Shimonoseki to train at the elementary school gymnasium. He told us that he had joined a Shorin-ryu karate dojo in Shimonoseki and was diligently practicing there. Si...

JUGEMテーマ:ノンフィクション One week after the incident where M’s front kick left a sudden bump on C’s forearm, C and I received instruction from our teacher in Taijiquan combat techniques—specifically, how to deflect a front kick aimed at the upper or middle level while advancing forward. Then, on a late summer day when the lingering heat was still severe, M came again to the elementary school gymnasium where we practice...

JUGEMテーマ:ノンフィクション M had come only to watch. He stood quietly at the edge of the elementary school gymnasium, hands folded, eyes curious but reserved. Yet fate has a way of pulling bystanders into the current. Before long, he was asked to step onto the floor. Shorin Kempo is not a gentle art. Gloves and chest protectors are strapped on, and sparring is carried out with ferocity. It is less about the tidy geometry of technique...

JUGEMテーマ:ノンフィクション We had just begun learning martial arts under our master. At that time, besides Senior C, there were also a few juniors and some of my former high school classmates who were receiving instruction from him. Following master’s guidance— “You should devise your own methods and devote yourselves to training” —we would occasionally borrow the gymnasium of a...

JUGEMテーマ:ノンフィクション That day’s practice began with a different atmosphere than usual. It was the day we received our master’s permission to try sparring for the first time. Even Senior C’s face looked somewhat pale. As always, we started with warm-up exercises, striking thirty straight punches together with our master to heat up our bodies. Once the warm-up was finished, Senior C and I put on the men (headgear) an...
