"Ishi no ue ni san nen" read in such a way a Japanese proverb and it want to say: "three years on rock".
It points to the necessity to be persistent at all times - one of the most important philosophical requests Kyokushin karate.
And it was Sosai Mas. Oyama, which said, for a Karateka must actually be called it: "Sekijo ju nen" - ten years on rock. Because where average humans show three years perseverance to bring there have the Karateka it easy on ten years.
Kyokushin is an art to contribute the much to the lines of the learning having to the short as to the long-term lines. Footsteps, impacts and Kata to transzendieren means to feel the special spirit which surrounds an implementing. And exactly here one can learn, how the requirements of the everyday life with are to be mastered ripe ones and perseverance. Remains only conscious for the Budoka, which its true Potenzial in the eternal truth of the perseverance rests, opposing impacts are able to hardly ever bring him from the equilibrium. A first reference, as a learning cultivates this spirit, may be given alone already thereby: The attitude "what soll's"? knows it by the attitude to replace to accept smallest challenges readily. Still couch-support more, once still into the squat going before I give up. From these modest, but extremely important beginnings gradually the desire grows to accept more and more challenges. And finally is learned to understand the training carats themselves as a serious challenge and to learn so much over the life. One masters the Kata and suspects their spirit. One learns in the Kumite, from face to face, which impacts weigh and blue marks smaller, as the acceptance of the challenge to the even.
Kumite does not existed even have an equivalent in the reality in many kinds of combat haven hardly, or. Therefore it is also the crucial challenge to confront itself with its own lack and fight it, which often does not result in sch so easily.
The Kumite, it is essential for the training of a Karteka. How can one react self-confidently, without it to have ever practiced? There are simply too many possibilities, to which attention must be given, when that the reaction to the coincidence will leave could. How can one esteem the amazing everlastingness of the human body, without for each experiences to have collected? It can be a very instructive insight, if one
its opponent the allegedly last impact and this still smiling before one shifts stands. How can one really expect to get over a serious argument successfully and with ripe ones without in the Kumite to have ever worked? The sharpest blade is forged with the hottest fire.
This character strength we alone by hard and persistent training acquired and is admits under the name "OSU NO". "OSU" as word has its origin in the term of the "OSHI SHINOBU" and means: "hold out, during one are pressed". That includes the absolute will to demand itself to to the borders of the bearable one to learn and in such a manner each kind from pressure to to resist. In its further meaning the word becomes more ambiguous, it contains a call to the soul: hold conditions and learn fighting, the weaknesses of human nature, for everyone admit are to be overcome.
Of the spirit of the Osu
The word "Osu" is able very exactly to describe the highest, which has to offer the art of the karate and Kyokushin in the special. As if point and courageously may apply, who able is real, the spirit of the Osu with each word to let obvious become each thought and each act. Also training should be exercised first and at the very front completely in the spirit of the Osu. The everyday life finally, with all its obligations and responsibility in the spirit of the "Osu" he could be lived consciously and thereby more fulfilled. In the reason of the heart would then exist no doubts, no fears and no concerns.
The Japanese attitude is those the perseverance. Where it appears so easy humans of the west to stop simply if it becomes difficult, Japanese knows traditionally only, which he must withstand persistent. Likewise: if one feels in training pain, this should not be the signal for stopping, but it should be regarded as opportunity to mature by persistence.
Even for the beginner, who is aware of its reduced abilities and who will back-frighten now before the requirements of the training, it is enough out to know, it by persistence and further to pursue, enormous physical, mental and emotional profits will obtain the will its goal. Everything which it needs is this special determination. One that strives itself and for giving up bends, may not in the long term not for understanding hope. The informing recognizes that, which strives and which, which does not do it. As it on side the nature talent without each effort remains impossible to exceed over a minimum then the less talented one is able to progress on the other hand alone by determination and perseverance in training clearly. However over the determination and the will, the heart will fight sensitively to "Osu and the informing you its best will give to support you.
The spirit of the "Osu" does not know a place for validity need and self craze.
If the pain doubles itself, it is the Ego, which back-frightens before it, not the body the strength of the body is trueful amazing often. Stories of bearing over-human strains are very numerous in times of selbstloser necessity. If one permits it that the Ego feels hurt, loses and gives up we the body at strength.
Overcome first the weakness in the own heart and experience then, how very your outside opponent will appear unimportant to you.
