Niju-kun
Niju-kun er et sett på tjue prinsipper, laget av shihan Gichin
Funakoshi. Vi har foreløpig bare den engelske versjonen her, men med tid
og stunder skal vi få til enten å finne en god norsk
oversettelse eller å lage en se
Niju-kun:
Karate is not only dojo training.
Don't forget that Karate begins
with a bow and ends with a bow.
In Karate, never attack first.
One who practices Karate must
follow the way of justice
First you must know yourself.
Then you can know others.
Spiritual development is
paramount; technical skills are merely means to the end.
You must release your mind
Misfortune comes out of laziness.
Karate is a lifelong training.
Put Karate into everything you
do.
Karate is like hot water. If you
do not give heat constantly it will again become cold.
Do not think you have to win.
Think that you do not have to lose.
Victory depends on your ability
to tell vulnerable points from invulnerable ones.
Move according to your opponent.
Consider your opponent's hands
and legs as you would sharp swords.
When you leave home, think that
millions of opponents are waiting for you.
Ready position for beginners and
natural position for advanced students.
Kata is one thing. Engaging in a
real fight is another.
Do not forget (1)strength and
weakness of power, (2)expansion and contraction of the body,
(3)slowness and speed of techniques.
Devise at all times.
