Hi All,

Just a quick email to remind you that we have another live webinar this Sunday!

TOPIC: Itosu’s 10 Precepts! A breakdown of the historical and practical importance of this document.

This document has to be, without question, the most influential in karate history. Its impact can be seen in every karate dojo.

The document was written to facilitate karate’s move from a civilian self-protection system to a modern budo. The webinar will cover:

● The historical events that led to Itosu writing this the document

● The infusion of military practises into karate (which are still there today)

● What this document tells us about old school karate and bunkai

● The false link between karate and zen

● Karate for health

● Karate for function

● The huge impact of Itosu’s vision

● The confusion arising from poor translations

● And loads more!

No matter what your background or style, an understanding of this document, and the events surrounding it, is vital if you are to full appreciate and contextualise many of today’s practises.
