Over the weekend karateka from
Australia visited Oita—to practice Budo Karate with me—for two days. One of the
practitioners was Don Walker Sensei whom I met, through the late Carl Marriott
Shihan (whom first brought me to Western Australia), several years back.The focus during the six hours of
training was ‘Karate as a martial art of self-defence in the real world’. This
was achieved by the transmission of the foundational knowledge of Bujutsu Karate
from which one can return Karate to its original potent form. While this
certainly exists within the broad category of `Karate-Do’, for most karate
around the world, it is either not practiced at all or, more commonly,
practiced incorrectly.
I will not detail the trainings but
will say it was a highly productive time and a great chance to spread Karate-Jutsu to Australia on a higher level.
Overall, we wish you all the very best for your remaining time here in Japan. Osu, André
