Karate in Japan

Welcome to my Karate channel. I have been living in Japan for over 2 decades now and Practice Shoriniji-ryu Karate. I met Two amazing Sensei's one is 9th degree black belt, and the other is an 8th degree Black belt. I'm currently at 3rd degree Black belt.

We practice in our Dojo and while both of my Senesis are in their 80's they are both still flexible and young due to Karate. We also practice Kobudo which are the weapons of Okinawan based Karate.
Nun chucks, Sai, Jo staff stick, bo staff stick, tonfa, Tanto etc.

I'm interested in All Martial Arts, Boxing, Meditation and inspirational thinking quotes. I like to be inspired and hope to also help motivate, encourage and inspire others. We have never become Masters, but we can always seek to learn more in Life. Always protect your Mental well-being and strive to reach your Goals. Once the Covid pandemic hit and the world changed is when My eyes began to open! Alohas!

    Thank you for your reply. Yes, it’s pretty important as if a karate-ka comes to Japan but is actually higher level and he walks into the dojo and says Gi” not only because he is a foreigner speaking but, the fact Japanese don’t say “Gi”😂

    @@karma_decay I know it changes depending on the region and country. It’s amazing what the Gracie Family did to make Jujitsu even more prevalent in Martial arts and turn it into Brazilian ju-jitsu. When you watch UFC and it goes down to the ground and it stays on the ground the BJJ almost always wins!

    How does it make sense to put "Do" (path) in front of "Gi" (uniform)? - path uniform - ?

    Pretty sure its to mean something like, "Clothes of the Way" as in those who practice the way of Fist and Foot (Karate) wear these clothes
