Maandag 7 januari 2008 ... zowel voor mezelf als voor vele andere karateka's het begin van een compleet nieuw hoofdstuk in onze karate-carrière! Vandaag starten we in Sportcenter Arcade te Balen met onze gloednieuwe sportschool ... The Seiwakai Karate Academy.

Aangezien ik niet iemand ben die blijft achteruit kijken, ga ik zelf samen met ons bestuur en medewerkers van de sportschool voor 200% werken aan een fijne groep, een hechte band, maar vooral ... een plek waar met volle teugen kan genoten worden van het Seiwakai Karate Do.

Ik had graag langs deze weg nog de mensen willen bedanken die me de afgelopen weken door dik en dun hebben gesteund in een, toch wel, bewogen eindejaarsperiode. Namen noemen is hier overbodig, maar m'n moeder Marleen en vriendin Bianca zijn er hier zeker en vast 2 van ... bedankt!

Op nu naar onze eerste les die vanavond zal doorgaan om 20u30 voor de volwassenen vanaf 14 jaar

Alvast tot dan en ... veel plezier!

The All Japan Karate Federation Gojukai known as JKF Gojukai

Karatedo in Okinawa can be broadly divided into two sects, Nahate and Shurite. The most popular school of Nahate is Goju-kai, which is a strain of Chinese Nanpa Shorin-ken. In 1930, the founder Chojun Miyagi named his school "Goju-ryu". He cited a line to name his school from "Bubishi" which is a traditional book of Shorin-ken Hakkaku-mon in Fujian province, China.
The founder Chojun Miyagi defined essence of karatedo as that "Karatedo is a measure to train your body and mind, to keep in shape and to protect yourself in a dangerous situation."

Fights of martial arts are fights of life or death. Therefore, we need to be serious and to concentrate on practice to learn techniques for survival in serious fights. To do so, Chojun Miyagi thought that a harmonious development of body and mind is necessary and he devised many training methods through his hard training.

He introduced modern point of view into conventional meditation and health program and developed Junbi Undo, or preparation exercise which was produced for improving your health, and Hojo Undo, or supplementary exercise which is practiced with equipment from an early stage of school's development. He developed rational system of training. Junbi Undo and Hojo Undo are still actively used without any changes.

The basic Kata Sanchin, Kaishu, or open hand Kata Gekisai 1 and 2, Heishu, or closed hand Kata Tensho, authentic Kata of Kanryo Higaona Sensei such as Saifa, Seiyunchin, Shisochin, Sanseiru, Seipai, Kururunfa, Seisan and Suparinpei are instructed.

It is said that Sanchin is the basic Kata of Goju-ryu to study "Ki, Soku and Tai" which are necessary factors of martial arts, and this is a basic Kata for training to learn right breathing and posture for massive attack and defense techniques. The founder Chojun Miyagi studied Rokkish from Chinese boxing Nan-ha Shorin-ken Hakkaku-ken and developed Tensho as Heishu Kata. Tensho aims to study "Ki, Soku and Tai" as same as Sanchin and several Uke techniques and attacking techniques by Shotei are featuring

Karate SEIWAKAI originated more than from the experience of 20 years of Ademir Professor of the Coast, is a more including and realistic method on the diverse aspects of attack and defense of a combat.

A guide to Super Hotel's standard hotel room.　Depending on the hotel there may be some slight differences in the room size.　- There are no Super Rooms in the City Sendai, City Ikebukuro North Gate, Kobe, Kurashiki Inn, Hakata City Ube, or City Kumamoto Super Hotels.
a Super Room that is for two or three persons.
- Super Hotel Kyoto / Karasuma Gojo are furnished with a semi-double bed and a sofa bed.
Because these rooms are planned for a couple sleeping in the same bed or a couple with a child if two or three adults would like to sleep in separate beds we would suggest reserving single rooms for each person.

With a double bed (140x200) in each room
you can stretch out and take it easy.
*The top loft bed in the Super Room is a single size (86x200).
Every room has a unit bath. Body soap and rinse in shampoo are provided via a dispencer.

Every room has a desk with a built-in light and a chair. Here you will find the TV, hot water pot, alarm clock, tooth brush that are provided for you.

There are four Japanese rail passes to choose from:

The Japan Rail Pass for unlimited travel on Japan Rail lines and affiliated buses and ferries.
The Japan East Rail Pass covers metropolitan Tokyo and many popular destinations in Eastern Japan.
The Japan West (Sanyo Area) Rail Pass covers an area of western Japan stretching roughly from Sasebo to Osaka.
The Japan West (Kansai Area) Rail Pass covers a smaller, more specific area of western Japan including sightseeing locations such as Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe, Nara and Himji.

A Seiwakai foi fundada em 1971 por Hanshi Shuji Tazaki sendo filiada na JKF Goju Kai (Japão).

A Seiwakai é um espaço de desenvolvimento do estilo de Karaté conhecido pelo nome de Goju-Ryu, em relação directa com Japan Karate Federation - Goju-Kai, através sensei Tasaki (8º dan), que, além de Presidente da Seiwakai, é Vice Director Geral e membro do Comité de Formação e de Exames de Graduações da Federação Japonesa de Karaté (JKF).

Sem deixar de se fazer o elogio da riqueza inerente às interpretações de cada versão Goju-Ryu (quer de Okinawa, quer do Japão, quer mesmo de outras regiões), a procura de um espaço de diálogo entre as diversas escolas Goju torna-se pertinente na sociedade de informação que se abre ao século XXI.

Em Portugal temos alguns praticantes de Karaté Goju-Ryu de diversas associações, em torno do movimento conhecido como Seiwakai.


O nome Seiwakai significa a Escola (Kai) da Paz (Wa) e da Harmonia (Sei) e numa tradução completa do caminho seguido teríamos: A Escola (Kai) da Paz (Wa) e da Harmonia (Sei) do Estilo (Ryu) da Suavidade (Ju) e Dureza (Go) da Via (Do) da Mão (Te) Vazia (Kara).

Bernie Haughey Sensei, 3rd Dan Gojuryu Karate do Seiwakai,
realized, that if a sensei becomes isolated from high quality instruction; sadly as many instructors do become isolated, then this isolation has no benefit for the teacher and his students in their martial arts development.


That is the reason why AGKK became an active member of Gojuryu Karate do Seiwakai International and the Japanese Karate Federation Goju Kai now our club offers direct access to the very highest level of Goju instruction from Japan.
