Описание: Probably the event most
responsible for the worldwide popularity of karate is Master Choki
Motobu's defeat of a western boxer in 1925. Initially ridiculed by the
audience at an "all-comers" prizefight in Kyoto, Japan, laughter turned
to stunned silence when the middle-aged and rather portly Okinawan
karate man knocked his strongly built young opponent unconscious within
seconds. Karate became an overnight sensation, and the mainland
Japanese embraced the art as their own.
So
spectacular it was featured in Kingu, Japan's most popular magazine of
the era, the victory sadly did little for Motobu personally.
Illustrations used in the magazine implied the victor was Gichin
Funakoshi, a man inferior in both social status and fighting ability to
Motobu, infuriating the latter, and ensuring instant fame for Funakoshi
who went on to found the Shotokan style of karate and become a karate
legend.
Nonetheless, Motobu's technical
influence on Karate was immense. His students included Shoshin Nagamine
(Matsubayashi Shorin Ryu), Yasuhiro Konishi (Shindo Jines Ryu) and
Hironori Otsuka (Wado Ryu), all of whom formed their own Karate styles
based, in part, upon his teachings.
On
the death of Choki Motobu in 1944 his unique form of karate seemed
destined for extinction. Few members of his original Daidokan Dojo
survived the war, and so little was known of Motobu sensei's private
life that most were unaware of his son Chosei who was destined to carry
his father's style into the 21st century.
This
is the Motobu family system of Tode (karate) presented by Chosei Motobu
and Takeji Inaba including the Kumite techniques and their
applications. It is the only reference work in the West on this style,
and is released with full cooperation and approval of the Motobu family
and the Japan Karate Do Motobukai.
