Subject: New Podcast: Discipline & Defiance / Practical Karate
New Podcast: Discipline & Defiance / Practical Karate!
The podcast is back! Please
accept my apologies for the delay between podcasts. Hopefully you will find it
worth the wait! Seeing as you have been so patient, this podcast covers two
topics in a kind of “double feature”!
The first subject is “Discipline and Defiance”. Discipline is something readily claimed as one of the positives of martial arts training. However, it’s not all positive and in this podcast I’d like to share my thinking on how discipline, of the wrong sort, can be problematic when it comes to both character development and the practical application of the martial arts. The other related subject we will be exploring is that of defiance. It’s is my view that martial training needs to develop a sense of defiance in order to optimise self-defence skills and develop character. I hope you find my thoughts on these two attributes interesting.
The second subject is “Practical Karate”. In that section I look at what the word “practical” actually means and therefore what attributes karate – or any other martial art for that matter – needs to have if it is to be correctly given the descriptive label of “practical”.
This was the first podcast recorded with some new equipment; which I’m still getting to grips with. It therefore sounds a little like I’m speaking to you with a bucket over my head! It’s still all very clear and is easy to listen to. However, the perfectionist in me will ensure that this is corrected for the next podcast … I think taking the bucket off my head is going to the key change I need to make :-)
I also struggled to find an image for the podcast that conveyed the concept of “defiance”. I had taken a special picture of me throwing a traditional reverse punch in my gi with the “punching hand” inverted and the middle finger extended. It’s a good picture, but the more mature side of me decided not to run with it! I therefore used this picture taken recently during training for a piece on supplementary training that
I’m working on. Hopefully the look on my face captures the defiance of the weight and the defiance of the discomfort … or maybe I should have gone with the original picture? :-)
Thanks once again for all your patience and I hope you enjoy the podcast! Speak again soon!
All the best,
Iain

The new Karate for Life Foundation Website is up and running! Please be sure to check it out.
The Karate for Life Foundation is a
registered not-for-profit corporation whose aim is to promote life skills
development and battle HIV/AIDS in Uganda and beyond through the mental and
physical training inherent in the practice of the martial arts.
You
can also get your own “Ask Me About My Bruises” t-shirt from the site (my
favourite t-shirt!):

A great site, a great cause and a great t-shirt!
2 - Work Has Begun On New International Association For Practical Traditionalists!
Those of you who have been with us for a while
will remember that a couple of years ago I was working to set up a Society of
Applied Traditional Martial Arts (SATMA). I put in a lot of work on it, but I
was never quite able to free up the extra time that would be needed for the day
to day administration. The project, despite huge support, therefore stalled
somewhat. The good news is that progress on such a group is now being made!
I recently had a meeting with Peter Consterdine 9th dan; who as most of you know
is the joint chief instructor of the British Combat Association along with Geoff
Thompson 7th dan. Peter and I are now in the process of setting up an
association akin to the STAMA concept, but under another name (to be announced).
I will lead things when it comes to all the guidance, advice, materials,
newsletters, syllabus creation and recognition, etc and the BCA team will
provide all the day to day administration (existing BCA members will know how
efficient they are!). Work is underway and please watch this space for news as
things develop!
Why I think such a worldwide association is needed and what its role will be:
The expediential growth in those returning to practicing the traditional martial
arts in a practical way means that there is now a pressing need for a dedicated
world wide association so practitioners of applied traditional martial arts can
band together for the benefit of both the arts and themselves.
The bodies set up to promote sporting offshoots or a particular style or
methodology – as useful as they can be for their members – do little to promote
and enhance what many of us see as the most important aspect of the traditional
martial arts.
I’ve felt for sometime that an open and inclusive society is needed for
pragmatic traditionalists and Peter Consterdine and myself are getting ready to
launch such a body!
Many martial arts associations have a recurring bad habit of trying to limit the
freedom of their members and hence I want this new association to promote and
enhance the wide variety of pragmatic approaches without imposing unnecessary
limits upon people.
This new group will be totally dedicated to, and focused on, the promotion and
study of the practical aspects of the traditional arts. We therefore will not be
engaged in activities such as selling on insurance etc. Those who therefore have
insurance through the other groups to which they belong, or who have it
independently, do not therefore need to pay for a service they do not need.
We will be totally happy with all members being members of as many or as few
other bodies as they wish. As I say, it is not our job to impose restrictions on
members; just the opposite in fact!
The new association will promote all practical approaches to all the traditional
martial arts and will have no “chief instructor” and no dictatorial hierarchy.
The aim is to provide the following services:
To provide a dedicated body for practically minded traditionalists that is open
to all and does not restrict individual approaches.
To promote the practise of applied traditional martial arts.
To promote those individuals, groups and instructors who are contributing to the
furtherance of applied traditional martial arts and to help get them the
recognition they deserve.
To ensure instructors of applied traditional martial arts from all over the
globe can network, learn from each other, and help each other to advance.
To promote the groups, materials and seminars of instructors of applied
traditional martial arts to as wide an audience as possible.
To recognise gradings in the applied and practical aspects of applied
traditional martial arts so people do not have to test against a sporting or
“aesthetic” criteria in order to advance in rank.
To help provide grading opportunities for senior people and to recognise
existing grades (proof of existing grade will be required).
To give instructors the freedom and support (if needed) to develop their own
syllabuses, to independently test against those syllabuses, and to have the
grades awarded by member instructors recorded, registered and certificated.
Instructors will also have the option of having their syllabuses approved. This
is in no way mandatory and individual instructors are free to decide if it is
for them or not. However, there are benefits to syllabus approval. Gradings
conducted by member instructors against an approved syllabus will also be
certificated as “approved” (as opposed to simply “registered”).
For a syllabus to be approved it obviously needs to be screened by us. It is not
our intention to dictate details and this will be a broad criteria – not
specific detail – to ensure approved syllabuses include what I’m sure you’ll
agree are “must-haves” such as a holistic methodology (i.e. include striking and
grappling), the use of impact equipment, include live non-compliant practise,
awareness training, escape skills, bunkai / application of forms (for those
groups who practice forms), etc. Help can be provided in designing such a
syllabus. Groups who have approved syllabuses may make use of that approval in
the promotion of their group.
And more!
Work has already begun on materials, websites, etc. Please hold all questions
and watch this space as further details will be forthcoming shortly!

The BCA (British Combat Association) has undoubtedly had a bigger impact on UK
martial arts than any other body and I’m really excited about the positive
effects I see the British Combat Karate Association having. I strongly feel the
British karate scene needs an organisation like this and I’m sure it will be of
interest to many of you.
