Analysis of Genuine Karate: Misconceptions, Origins, Development, and True Purpose (Martial Science)

Hermann Bayer

Read Now Download Now
Genuine karate is an Okinawan martial art for self-defense; its ongoing globalization has jeopardized its inherent effectiveness.

"The changes made to karate in mainland Japan and in America have altered karate so intrinsically that it can no longer claim to be genuine karate." Practitioners of karate are often confused, misguided, and even led to believe that karate is just karate--this is far from the truth.
Dr. Hermann Bayer, Ph.D., examines how Japan re-interpreted Okinawan karate to create its own unique style of karate-do, and how Japanese and American changes resulted in a modern karate-sport business.

Contents include:
Okinawan karate's "principle of never changing kata".
Karate as an Okinawan cultural heritage.
Socio-cultural arguments to preserve Okinawa karate--as is.
Japan--the karate reproducing country.
Karate, Karate-Jutsu, or Karate-do?
The business of karate, karate-do, and karate-sport.
Scientific explanation of a peaceful karate mind.
The laws of physics reveal weaknesses when kata are changed.

This substantially researched work makes a compelling case for the socio-cultural and historic arguments to conserve genuine Okinawan karate. Supported by historical facts, scientific analysis, and public records, Dr. Bayer reveals, for all to see, the complex evolution of karate and the unsettled claims made upon it by the various stake-holders.
