Cage fighting, Ultimate Fighting Championships and relaxed “soft” style martial arts what do they have in common? In our series of 8 short, simple, easy to read and light hearted emails we attempt to bridge the gap between the two concepts. What are the similarities? What are the differences? Which is best? Week by week as our story unfolds we question the relevance of karate in today’s world and seek to make sense of some of the philosophical positions adopted by masters old and new. We explore new thinking and suggest karate offers the practitioner more than self defence moves alone. We go beyond the romance and take a pragmatic view of the benefits enjoyed by karate practitioners. By subscribing to these emails you will gain a greater understanding of our approach and an insight into the karate practised at Zenshin dojo. Subscribe now
