the "Image"
|
||
|
The lessons learned in Karate are principles. The lessons in Karate are a metaphor for life. This is the basis for the "Book of Five Rings" being used in business school. Sensei often taught/spoke of "image" and "imagination". When the idea of this year's World Championships came up we had an image, we then began to use our imagination. We then needed desire, a plan and to take action. We had to look at what we had to do to make it possible. If it was possible. . . We felt it was, then win or lose we took action. I have a building background. In building you have the pre planning stage. In our pre planning stage, in doing our homework we came across andel's Hotel. The photos of the Hotel were incredible! To be there in real life was even more incredible. So we looked to see if it was possible then worked towards that. Long story short we started with an "image" the Hotel and used our"imagination" of how to put ourselves there. The photo above is the image we saw. Through our imagination, planning, action, and hard work we were able to put ourselves there.
Thank You ALL!
To swim in the roof top pool all by myself was such a luxury. Years from from now I'm sure you'll have to make reservations well in advanced to get in. I highly recommend you seek out andel's Hotels (Vienna International) on your European travels. By staying at that specific hotel we were able to reinforce old friendships, make new friendships, keep our position in Nishiyama's Traditional Karate World. "Imagination, Planning, Action & Hard Work" We now again have to find our image, then use our imagination, then make a plan, then take action, then put in the hard work. Since we got back we have been working very hard to give our students that didn't go as much of the experience as possible. We are doing this through this page, photos we are posting on our dojo walls. Through discussions in class. We want them to know of the incredible opportunities that are available them. This is the inheritance left by Nishiyama sensei. Instructors I am now advising my student's parents. "Our 7 year program". We had one student that has been with us since she was 10. In 7 years at a casual pace she has gone from white belt to the World Championships. I now pose the question to our parents. "Ask yourself" in 7 years where will your child be after 7 years of baseball, basketball, soccer, gymnastics, hockey, band, cross country, la crosse etc etc. Will they be in the Olympics? Wimbledon? the Stanley Cup, etc etc. I'm not asking them to stop these other activities but to re allocate their time allotted to our Traditional Karate Program. With some hard work and dedication we can realistically get them to the World Championships. Instructors you must advise your student's parents of what is uniquely available to them through you. There are only a handful of locations in the United States where one can get this training that can lead them to the ITKF Traditional Karate World Championships. They are very fortunate to be part of your program. They must know of what is available to them. This cannot be done last minute as it will take planning and hard work. But it is highly possible. In the children's divisions there are 65 spots (besides the 30 spots open to the adults). This year in the U.S. we had 3 athletes ( Maggie, Atlanta, Georgia - Ellen, Manhattan Beach, California - Allison, St Louis Missouri) fill 7 spots. 58 spots went unfilled (in the youth division). We now have the image now lets use our imagination to fill those spots. The U.S. team was made up of 6 Adults and 3 youths. There were 95 potential spots to be filled. My Proposal We have 2 years to present a real/realistic winning proposal to the ITKF at the World Championships in Egypt, for the United States to host the 18th ITKF Traditionak Karate Championships in 2016. Which means we have absolutely no time to waste. We need to bring everybody together, I mean EVERYBODY together, so we can see what resources we have and draw up a plan. We need to be in the pre planning stage RIGHT NOW! Then we have 4 years to get ready. So Get Ready!

Raise Money. I missed my flight by 5 minutes. Instead of a 5 hour layover in Amsterdam I had a 5 hour layover in Los Angeles then on to Paris, France.
|
While working as a Union Carpenter I worked at LAX to build Parking Structure #6 (Delta). I sent about 6 months there. Those were long hard days. Up at 5am, 8 hours of heavy construction, go teach classes, then go to Central Dojo and have classes with sensei. Then all that other stuff. In bed at midnight or so, repeat for 6 months. It was great to walk through the parking structure I had built. I looked for some of my mistakes. |
Forex - Exchange U.S. Dollars for Euro. 5 years ago while riding my bike I found a 5 Euro note in the street. I finally got to spend it in Paris, a small gift for Jordan. |

Then on to Frederic Chopin Airport. Warsaw, Poland (very exciting!). I see this airport being totally rebuilt in the future. |
More Forex - U.S. Dollars to Polish Zloty. I used the currency exchange shop to start but the best rates came from using the ATM's. |
Follow the signs to ground transportation. Buy a tram ticket from one of the newspaper stands. On to Centrala Stataion |
Outside at Centrala Station is a mall suronded by fantastic old buildings, the area is very active. Buy a train ticket at street level, find out which platform to go to and in which direction. Walk down and catch a train. Click on line so you know the frequency of the trains so you don't have to wait to long in between. |
|
Great old trains with private compartments. People will come in and out.
Know your stops, because at the stops between the major ones you don't get much of a notice. On to Kaliska Station.
|
Łódzkie Vovoidship is located in the center of Poland. The capital is Łódź. Kaliska Train Station - Atlas Arena is right next door. There are bus stops and taxis waiting. My cab ride to the the hotel was about $6 U.S. - How much do you tip on 6 bucks? Does one tip in Poland. I did they were very grateful. |
Doing the conversion of Dollars to Zloty and Liters to Gallon, the price of gasoline in Poland was $7.00 per gallon U.S. - Still there were plenty of people driving around.

You can see just see on the look on Ellen, Allison & her moms face, their personal imagination of "what lies ahead". After finishing up Team USA Practice the day before the tournament. We started our journey back to the hotel. They just finished putting down the tatami on the Center Elevated Stage so we stopped to take a look. |
2007 Was the first U.S. Jr Nationals - Atlanta Georgia - It was also the 50th anniversary of our U.S. Nationals. Allison (Missouri), Ellen (California) & Maggie (Atlanta) all competed.
I have coached many times when one goes to compete to immediately go practice on the floor you are going to compete on. Find out which way you will be facing and practice only in that direction. This must be done for many reasons. In Atlanta I had coached Ellen to go down to the floor and do so. She was a bit apprehensive as is very normal. She did not do so. As fate would have it on her first Kata her foot slipped a little as there was a transition of paint to varnish on the gym floor. She also did an extra repetitive sequence in Kan ku dai but somehow was able to end up on her make in the right direction. Now back home during classes I reinforced the recommendation of this practice before a competition. Now in Poland as we walked past the stage, the instant they finished putting down the tatami I suggested that she go up and practice. Her mother also gave her a little nudge. Again she was apprehensive but this time she got up and did it. She rushed it as she felt she was hold the team up going back, but she did it! This was her first big breakthrough in a string of many, many personal breakthroughs that brought her personal level up 30% that weekend. So many great stories to tell. What are yours? |
|
Finally after 26 hours later than scheduled she got to go up, the waiting was maddening. The waiting was actually the best thing for her. It was the pre mouksou, preparing oneself for what one is about to do. It was a great opportunity for to see so much of the tournament and to know what would be expected. It all couldn't have been more perfect. I wouldn't have changed one thing. The time she went up was a perfect, after all the majority of distractions had gone. She got to be up on center stage. She did great!!!!!! Her best Kata ever. Please click and "like".

Second Place Women's Synchronized Kata Team (Poland). Hangetsu Kata |
|
Ellen doing Fukugo the Kite portion. This is great! You have 2 athletes from opposite sides of the world. They have totally different instructors. Yet as you watch the 2 side by side, move by move you can see the same quality and consistency. The 2 are very very close. The Polish girl that Ellen lost to went on to win first place.
The consistency in Quality was remarkable (the girl furthest away from Poland, Ellen from the United States)! Look at them side by side and you be the judge.
|
The 3 girls that made up the U.S. Youth Team. Allison (St Louis, Mo), Ellen (Manhattan Beach, Ca), Maggie (Atlanta, Ga). I had wanted to get the 3 together to practice synchronized kata. One of the girls suggested they do Kite (since it was the one they all knew). I took 3 takes with each one upfront center. This was the second take. This is a first time practice of the 3 together. I did not give them instruction (that is the job of their instructor, I did not over step that boundry) they just did it. In the 3 is some incredible potential, how do we pull it together?

Team U.S.A. went to a back area to practice. There were a few other international teams there as well. Starting to run in to ols freinds and starting to see those that will become new friends. Everyone was friendly (no attitdue ANYWHERE!), all so nice. The photo above they had just finished putting down the tatami on the raised center stage. |
Now a train ride back to the Team Hotel. |
Now walking to the Hotel. |
|
Regroup and plan for dinner. |
Walk back over to Piotrkowska street, then up Piotrkowska street. Stop at Mc Donald's grab a snack. Put some change in the donation box for Ronald's Kids. Back to andel's Hotel. |
Ran into the team from Cyprus. I introduced myself and asked them to pose for this great shot on the second floor. Very nice people. |
Now to get cleaned up to meet the team at Manufaktura for dinner. Ate some fried cod and a cold glass of Polish beer - YUM! Then back to the our hotels for some sleep. |

The very first team to show up. The Czech Republic Team. When I saw them come in I got goose bumps. It was so inspiring. I got their attention had them turn around and strike this pose. What a great shot! The nation team coach said "hi", he had traveled to the U.S. several times to train Nishiyama sensei. He introduced me to his family. |

You can also take a ride the full length of the street for about 4 Zloty for One 6 Zloty for Two. |
 |
The room was fantastic!!!! Had the Hotel been in any other location it would have been 10 times the price. |
 |
Sunday morning breakfast. The free breakfast was incredible, a fantastic spread. You would have gladly paid $40U.S. Everything you could want now matter what your breakfast preferences are. |

What an incredible future! What was great to notice was that the quality in every aspect was very high for the Youths. There was no difference in speed and power in the boys and girls as you would see in sports. You saw great technique and great spirit! |
1,000 competitors with fantastic control. 1,000 competitors with only a few minor accidents, with no major injuries. You can see the ambulance in the photos above out of site but close enough just in case. The tournament was well prepared and run. |

Photos of Stara Wies
(Starra Vies - Old Village)
The Traditional Karate Training Center of Poland
Pre Tournament

One of my all time favorite photos. Yes Nelson is getting that extra attention. You see sensei old and wrinkled. His hair combed. He is touching and looking at Nelson with all his energy. Wanting to make sure he understands. Making sure he knows what his job is. Making sure he knows what his responsibility is. As if he is communicating to Nelson into the future. Yes Nelson understands, and the lesson will continue to grow within him. You see the students in the background with 100% focus in attention. Yes this photo is with Nelson but sensei had "this" with each and everyone who was will to accept his instruction. Those that that do will stay the course. Stay the path. "Nishiyama Do" (I just made up this term) |
Kankudai ("To gaze at the MOON") at Stara Wies Be sure to see the moon within Nelson's hands. Practice first. Practice again. Practice again. Then ask questions. But practice first!!! One point I would have like to ask sensei is. "Brown Belt Katas" - Bassai dai, Jion & Empi the Kata begins (and ends) not in formal shizen tai but the hands in a special way (you know what I mean). Kan ku dai starts off in 'a special way" but ends in formal shizen tai. We should change the end of Kan kudai so it ends like it starts? What do you think? |
