JUGEMテーマ:ノンフィクション Side kick After I landed that side kick—heel driving into his abdomen—my friend’s face changed noticeably. He had realized, perhaps for the first time, that karate kicks were not to be underestimated. Immediately after being struck, he stepped back, then retreated even farther, beginning to circle me slowly. His fighting spirit hadn’t left him, but I could tell he was cooling his h...

JUGEMテーマ:ノンフィクション It was about a week after my friend had battered me senseless in a boxing sparring session. On our next training day, we agreed to try something different: a mixed-style bout where kicks were allowed. The rules were simple—any kick was fair game except to the groin, and hand techniques were permitted as long as they didn’t involve eye-gouging or elbows. We strapped on headgear and gloves, a...

JUGEMテーマ:ノンフィクション Actually, after I quit practicing Shotokan karate, I spent about half a year learning boxing from a friend. This friend had been a member of the boxing club in high school, and after entering university, he trained at a gym for about two years. He was the kind of guy who lived for fighting. He taught me very carefully—from the basics, to sparring tips, to methods of boxing-specific weight training, and even how to m...

JUGEMテーマ:ノンフィクション Bruce Lee had a point: breaking a lifeless board doesn’t mean much if you can’t land a hit on a real person who moves, dodges, and fights back. And man, his voice—so cool and gravelly. Back in high school, I used to mimic his English lines all the time, feeling pretty pleased with myself. Fast forward to college: I joined a Shotokan karate dojo not too far from ho...

JUGEMテーマ:ノンフィクション From around the age of twenty-one, I spent some time at a Shōtōkan-style dōjō. The reason I joined that dōjō was because in the introductory karate books published by teachers of that style, there was a systematic training method described that progressed from yakusoku kumite (prearranged sparring) to jiyū kumite (free sparring). To be more precise, I had convinced myself that this style offered ...

JUGEMテーマ:ノンフィクション This is a true story that took place about 47 years ago at a Shotokan karate dojo in Fukuoka. The main characters are two university students, A and B. Both were first‑degree black belts, but at that time A simply could not defeat B in sparring. Shotokan karate A was tall and specialized in roundhouse kicks and jōdan (upper‑level) punches. B was of medium build and height, skil...

JUGEMテーマ:ノンフィクション Young people grow by confronting many challenges. Through this match, I myself learned firsthand that martial arts or combat sports are built upon rules. And both A and O seemed to realize, through this experience, the illusions they had held about their own strength. Had the match continued, it would likely have been A who was choked out. On the other hand, if the fight had returned to stand-up and O had taken...

JUGEMテーマ:ノンフィクション As one of the people who arranged this match, I wanted to give A a small chance to save face. After all, he had come all the way to Seinan University, only to end up showing almost nothing worthwhile. Having been knocked down by O and humiliated, he himself seemed eager to show the many spectators some of his karate performance. Among those watching was my acquaintance E, a second-dan in Wado-ryu karate. So I p...

JUGEMテーマ:ノンフィクション O forcefully swept A’s flailing legs to the right and immediately applied a technique resembling judo’s kesa-gatame on him. kesa-gatame With his head locked and unable to move, A called out to me, “Hey! What is this? Please make him stop.” I replied, “Go ahead. Keep it up.” A then protested to me in...
