• RISKY BUSINESS
  Parked outside the karate studio is a candy-apple red Porsche sporting vanity license plates that read “ISUE 4U.” Maybe even tightly wound personal-injury lawyers need the release of a good sparring session. Savvy owners and operators of martial arts facilities don’t need to see vanity plates to be wary of today’s litigious environment.
  
  The lawsuit industry always looks for the next deep po ...

• Rumors of War
  Ever been asked to withdraw from a tournament? Since profit comes from entrance fees, most tournaments want as many competitors as possible. But in a last-minute move, Berkeley's tournament directors issued an open invitation to all competitors: if they withdrew, they would receive a full refund, two free spectator passes and $30 off of next year's registration.

• Karate finds its feet
  According to Tony Pillage -the owner and founder of "The Way of Spiritual Warrior" series of dojos - the two most neglec­ted areas of Karate are its pragmatic and spiritual application.
  
  This is not such a surprising statement when one considers that these key subjects lie in probably one of the least popular areas of martial arts practice in today's soci­ety: pre-arranged forms or kata. Kata is an area often relegated to nothing more than a ritual, where everyone tries hard to look serio ...

• Karate Tournaments
  Over the last few months I have been discussing Karate tournaments and the attitudes of the competitors who enter them. Having the correct attitude and the respect for your fel­low competitor is so important when competing. An example of this would be not sitting with your fel­low competitors whilst the category is underway, this shows a big lack of respect for them in my book and I am glad I have only seen this a few times, I would however prefer never to see it, particularly if the areas are a ...

• KARTA FORMS
  MARTIAL ARTISTS reading this article can probably be divided into two broad categories - those who believe in the value of fist sets (or kata, hyung etc) and those who don't. Some people think that sets are an integral part of their Mar­tial Art and others think that they are totally unnecessary.
  
  Those of you who've read my previous articles will have formed the impression that I am in favour of a combat-effective style of training and am a bit non-tradi­tional in nature. That may be so ...

But Sensei Scott Brown, successful International Koshiki Contact toumament fighter and 4th Dan Chief Instructor of Shorinjiryu Kenkokan Karatedo in NSW, has had to fight back from devastating leg and foot injuries which would have stopped many lesser men in their tracks.

• KIMURA SENSEI, 8th Dan
  AS I SAT on an eastbound jet heading for Melbourne I wondered what the next four days would bring. The purpose of my journey was to meet with, and train under, Sensei Shigeru Kimura, 8th Dan Shukokai Karatedo. As the Chief Instructor for Shukokai in the world, his life over the past quarter century has been one of al­most constant travel. Indeed, I well re­member training with him myself over 15 years ago, in England.
  
  As a guest of the Australian Shukokai Karate Association (A.S.K.A.) I ...
