[Português nos comentários] Shīsā シーサー [Português nos comentários] Shīsā シーサー are traditional guardian statues of "lion dog" creatures, popular in Okinawan culture and mythology. You can see them often in Okinawan buildings and houses, on the rooftops or siding the entrances. Traditionally, they're arranged as a pair, and the left shīsā has a closed mouth meaning to keep good spirits in, while the right one has an open mouth meaning to ward off evil spirits. We believe it reflects the spirit of harmony between yin/in 陰 and yang/yō 陽 expressed in the Tao/Dō 道, a fundamental aspect of human wisdom and an ever present principle in quality karate (whether knowingly or not). The balance between the attitude of accepting (the good things) and of rejecting (the bad things) is one of the expressions of the spirit of Muidokan, represented in its Dōjō Kun 道場訓 as "Open spirit, but critical spirit (empty cup, demanding taste)". It means: learn from all sources and be open to all experiences, but have discernment to separate what is useful from what is not. The friendly shīsā in the picture are from Muidokan member Willian Barbosa, instructor in @barbosadojo.

Repost @samirberardo ... DO YOU PRACTICE PASSAI Repost @samirberardo ... DO YOU PRACTICE PASSAI/BASSAI KATA? WHICH VERSIONS? [PT-BR>comentários] "Matsumura no Passai", from Shorin-ryu 小林流, is said to have been taught to Choshin Chibana by Shinzaku Tawada, who by its turn would've learned it directly from Sokon Matsumura. . Before learning it, Chibana already knew two other "Passai", coming from Itosu, his main sensei. Those were then called "Passai Dai" (a similar version to Shotokan's "Bassai Dai") and "Passai Sho" (similar to "Bassai Sho"). As the story goes, Chibana showed Itosu the third Passai, received from Tawada, and Itosu replied that it was a very good one and that it should be preserved. . Chibana then made some changes in the kata names/syllabus: . (1) The kata coming from Matsumura started being called "Passai Dai"; . (2) Itosu's original "Passai Dai" started being called "Passai Sho"; and . (3) As for Itosu's original "Passai Sho", Chibana apparently removed it from his syllabus. . After that, the original Itosu's "Passai Sho" seems to have found its way back into Chibana lineage Shorin-ryu circles through Katsuya Miyahira (Shidokan founder), learned from Shinpan Gusukuma (Shinpan Shiroma), a direct student of Itosu. Miyahira started calling it "Koryu Passai" ("Old Style Passai"). Some also call it "Gusukuma no Passai" or "Passai Guwa". Nowadays, different Shorin-ryu schools use different names for each kata version. . The naming story is kind of confusing, but all three versions are great and rich in actual self-defense content. Recently I published a video on Itosu no Passai (Chibana's "Bassai Dai") bunkai. In the future, I'll be publishing much more on all of these kata, and many others. Please stay in touch to check it out! . * Deep thanks to karate researchers Joe Swift, Mario McKenna and Matthew Apsokardu, who helped me better understand the lineages of Passai kata. By the way, there are many other Passai versions. Matthew Apsokardu has a great work particularly on the versions and lineages topic. . * The beautiful taiko soundtrack used in this video was composed by the artist Andries de Haan from the Netherlands (www.a-scores.co).

[Português nos comentários] This video shows a b [Português nos comentários] This video shows a bit of application of Itosu no Passai kata (a close relative of well-known Bassai Dai). The explanation to the kata movements comes from our bunkai research in Muidokan, aimed at understanding the true meaning of kata (hontou bunkai 本当分解). For this video, We had the collaboration of Nicolás Pérez (@FistofShuri), who performs the kata with excellent technique. In the application breakdown shown in the last part of the video you can see a bit of the amazing logic and effectiveness of the classical kata of karate. Nothing in the kata is wasted, everything has an important function and it works for real! This is really a very small bit of what I have to show. Do you wanna see more? What other kata applications do you wanna know more about? * By the way, in this video the founder of Muidokan @SamirBerardo changed a small detail of the application in comparison with the kata. Did you spot what it was? He simplified it a little bit in order to teach in seminars to large groups of students who are new to old style karate (the simplified detail is easier to learn and safer to practice). We promise to show the missing bit in the future (Samir actually already demonstrated it in some of our other videos!), but take a guess and tell what you think is the missing part! * The beautiful taiko soundtrack used in this video was composed by the artist Andries de Haan from Netherlands.

[Português nos comentários] Post by Muidokan mem [Português nos comentários] Post by Muidokan member Bruno Chagas (@purokarate), where he talks about a very important aspect of the research of our group and its founder, @SamirBerardo! ________ Classical Karate kata are invaluable, as they are the way of recording the technical and tactical foundations of our martial art. And like any essential record, they are not a mere random and purposeless organization of movements. If they were, it just wouldn't make sense to give so much importance to kata. It would just be an exotic dance. And the masters of the past were certainly more intelligent and more practical than that. The record formed by the kata has reached us, but the way of reading them has been lost over time, for various reasons, ranging from political issues, to the sportive focus given to Karate and also by the second war, which devastated Okinawa, destroyed many records and killed a significant part of the population. Kata are like hieroglyphs, which need a specific and detailed work to be unveiled and stop being merely a serie of meaningless images. The good news is that rescuing the way of reading kata is possible. With a lot of effort, critical sense and criteria, looking for what was left by the masters of the past in terms of traditions and technical descriptions, among other methodologies. It is a job to put together a great puzzle, which requires patience and dedication. But from the moment the pieces fit together and the image begins to form, fascinating and very efficient art emerges. That is why this work is so important and serious. Karate is an incredible art, but it requires dedication. In order to catch a glimpse of everything it represents, constant dedication in training and studies is necessary. It is necessary to keep the cup empty and sincerely be willing to learn. But each new learning and each new discovery is certainly rewarding. . . . . . . . . . #karatedo #karatedojo #karate #karateka #kata #bushido #martialarts #artesmarciais #traditionalkarate #practicalkarate #selfdefense #defesapessoal #oldstylekarate #wellness #karatelife #treino #karateisselfdefense #evidencebasedkarate #selfdefensekarate #karatejutsu #muidokankarate

Muidokan Karate Kenkyukai

Shīsā シーサー são tradicionais estátuas guardiãs de criaturas "cães-leões", populares na cultura e mitologia de Okinawa. Você pode vê-los frequentemente em edifícios e casas, nos telhados ou nas laterais das entradas. Tradicionalmente, são colocados em pares. O shīsā esquerdo tem a boca fechada, que significa manter os bons espíritos dentro, enquanto o direito tem a boca aberta, que significa afastar os maus espíritos.

Acreditamos que isso reflete o espírito de harmonia entre yin/in 陰 e yang/yō 陽 expressa no Tao/Dō 道, um aspecto fundamental da sabedoria humana e um princípio sempre presente no karate de qualidade (de forma consciente ou não). O equilíbrio entre a atitude de aceitar (as coisas boas) e de rejeitar (as coisas ruins) é uma das expressões do espírito do Muidokan, representada em seu Dōjō Kun 道場訓 como "Espírito aberto e espírito crítico (copo vazio, paladar exigente)". Significa: aprender de todas as fontes e estar aberto a todas as experiências, mas ter discernimento para separar o que é útil do que não é.

Os shīsā amigáveis da foto são do membro do Muidokan Willian Barbosa, instrutor no Barbosa DOJÔ ... See MoreSee Less
