About this listen
On this episode of “Great Karate Myths,” we unravel the truth behind classical karate kata. 🥋 We’re asking a controversial question: why is there no ground grappling in the antique forms? 🧐 We'll explore the life-or-death context of policing and weapon defense, and why staying upright was the only option. Discover how the modern idea of a "complete martial artist" is a far cry from the original purpose of these ancient forms. ⚔️ Get ready to challenge everything you thought you knew about martial arts history!
