You Can't Restrain Them, Just Hit Them!
Karate Articles
A lot people seem to forget that Karate is a striking art, they believe, that because you practice karate, you should be able to control and restrain an aggressor without hurting them. Bull***t!Please remember, I am only talking physical, all martial artists should try and avoid confrontation, or diffuse a situation without fighting, karate practice, naturally develops (I believe) this skill, I have talked my way out of many situations, situations that could have easily turned very nasty.
If all else fails and the doodoo hits the fan, you're going to have to fight.
If someone attacks a karateka, then they should get both barrels, the karateka didn't ask to be mugged, attacked, picked on, or robbed.
If the situation gets to the point when the only way out is to fight for your life, then do what you do best, hit them hard and fast. Leave the restraining for the police, that is what they have been trained to do, controlling a situation without hurting anybody is what the police do and they're good at it. Karateka are good at avoiding confrontation and hitting things (or should be).
A quick story,
One of my best friends has a large karate dojo nearby, several years ago some parents came to him and said their son was getting severely bullied at school, both parents were in tears, it was really quite serious, anyway, my friend said he'll see what he can do.
Eighteen months later the parents came back, they were not happy. Their son had obviously got to the point where he could take no more bullying and he fought back.
He severely kicked the c**p out of the bullies, the parents were called into the school because of what had happened. They approached my friend and said that they were not happy because their son should have used minimal force and restraint, instead of battering these bullies. My friend reminded them of the time they first came to him, they then just sat there quietly.
People do not understand reality, people will attack with no regard for life or outcome of their actions, if you get attacked by someone like this, you cannot use restraining techniques on these people, you have to use extreme violence, end of story.
Here's hoping you never end up in a nasty situation, but if you do, you must be ready to do, what you need to do, to survive.

Gojushiho Sho Shotokan Karate Kata
Shotokan Karate Article
I have just uploaded the Gojushiho Sho kata video to www.shotokanunleashed.com, follow this link Shotokan Kata Video Gojushiho ShoI filmed the kata from the front, normal speed and slow speed, finishing with a filming of the kata, from the side.
Gojushiho sho is a favourite black belt kata in many shotokan dojo, the gojushiho kata are named differently depending the dojo linneage. In our dojo, Gojushiho sho, is where kokutsu dachi (back stance) is prominent, and gojushiho dai, is where neko ashi dachi (cat stance) is the common stance.
There are many stories as to why different dojo name the kata differently, but it's only a name, the actual kata is practiced 95% the same, in shotokan dojo.

Most karateka Couldn%u2019t Defend Themselves Against An Attacker!
SHOTOKAN KARATE TRAINING
Shock, horror! Well, I for one, believe this to be a true statement, but at the same time, I'm going to say, some karateka are very dangerous, they could and would, tear apart, 90% of attackers!So what's the difference between the two, ATTITUDE!
When training, you are what you think, if you are thinking about cuddly teady bears and cup cakes (just an example), you will be about as effective as teddy bear in a fight with a T Rex!
If your attitude is strong and positive in the dojo, you are going to have a better chance in a real self defense situation.
When your karate is at full speed and power, you should practice like your life depends on each move, use some imagination, your karate can still be practiced safely, but when techniques become real, it takes on a whole new meaning. Make it real.
When practicing kata (forms), kihon (basics) or kumite (sparring) at speed, when your strike hits the target, imagine what would really happen if you landed the blow with full force and no control, is it strong enough to hurt or even fell an opponent, it should be.
In the dojo, etiquette, control and discipline rule the day, in the street, they have no regard for your safety, they do not care if they kill you and they most definitely show no control or mercy.
I can't remember the exact words he used, but, the famous boxer, Mike Tyson, when he was world champion, said, 'They cannot hurt me, they cannot knock me out, I won't allow them to'. In the martial arts, karate and self defence, that's the attitude to have.
Another Mike Tyson quote, 'Every shot was thrown with bad intentions'.
Some karateka naturally have this attitude, others need to train themselves to be like this, never give up, if you knock me down, I'm just going to get back up, I will not stop and when I hit you, I will hit with, as Mike Tyson says, bad intention!
So, to me, self defense is a state of mind, rather than a physical state of being, obviously the physical side is important, but all karateka have the physical side, don't they?
