Itosu Ankoh [糸洲安恒, 1831-1915]
The Preparation to War for Mineral Resources not found in Japan
Okinawa Population in Compliance with Western Warfare Recruitment
In Oct 1908, Itosu wrote his,
"Ten Precepts (Toudi Jukun) of Karate" to bring its importance to the attention of the
... Ministry of Education, War and Dai Nippon Butokukai. ....*
唐手の十訓
Ten Precepts of Karate*
1. Karate did not develop from Buddhism or Confucianism. In the past the Shorin-ryu school and the Shorei-ryu school were brought to Okinawa from China.
Here it is hidden..
The Chinese Open Hand is Closed to make a Fist ( Ken Fist )
To grab and hold the tools of common Work
The Bo
The Eiku
The Sai
The Tuifa
The K**a
The Nunchaku
Plus *
The Spear and Katana of ths Ajin Aristocratic Familes
Both of these schools have strong points, which I will now mention before there are too many changes:
2. Karate is not merely practiced for your own benefit; it can be used to protect one's family or master.
It is not intended to be used against a single.. A method to Stand Your Ground.. assailant but instead as a way of avoiding a fight should one be confronted by a villain or ruffian.
3. The purpose of karate is to make the muscles and bones hard as rock and to use the hands and legs as spears. If children were to begin training in Tang Te[1] while in elementary school, then they will be well suited* for military service.
* Remember the words attributed to the Duke of Wellington after he defeated Napoleon: "The Battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton."
4. Karate cannot be quickly learned. Like a slow moving bull, it eventually travels a thousand miles. If one trains diligently every day, then in three or four years one will come to understand karate.
Those who train in this manner will discover karate.
5. In karate, training of the hands and feet is important, so one must be thoroughly trained on the
makiwara.
The Makiwarapost is an Okinawan Adaption to Zen Mind Meditation.
This is Vital for the Serious Deshi.
In order to do this, drop your shoulders, open your lungs, take hold of your strength, grip the floor with your feet, and sink your energy into your lower abdomen.
Practice using each arm one to two hundred times each day.
6. When one practices the stances of Toudi, be sure to keep your back straight, lower your shoulders, put strength in your legs, stand firmly, and drop your energy into your lower abdomen.
7. Practice each of the techniques of karate repeatedly, the use of which is passed by word of mouth.
Learn the explanations well, and decide when and in what manner to apply them when needed.*
In karate, there are techniques for striking an opponent, as well as for receiving and deflecting an opponent's attack. In addition, there is a secret technique called Toridi, which is a rule passed down orally.
8. You must decide if karate is for your health or to aid your duty.*
9. When you train, do so as if on the battlefield.
* Your eyes should glare, shoulders drop, and body harden. You should always train with intensity and spirit, and in this way you will naturally be ready.
10. One must not overtrain; this will cause you to lose the energy in your lower abdomen and will be harmful to your body.
Your face and eyes will turn red. Train wisely.
In the past, masters of karate have enjoyed long lives.
Karate aids in developing the bones and muscles. It helps the digestion as well as the circulation. If karate should be introduced beginning in the elementary schools, then we will produce many men each capable of defeating ten assailants.
I further believe this can be done by having all students at the Okinawa* Teachers' College practice karate.
In this way, after graduation, they can teach at the elementary schools at which they have been taught. I believe this will be a great benefit to our nation and our military.
It is my hope you will seriously consider my suggestion.
