"Karate training may extend over one's entire life.... Many people train furiously in Karate initially but loose their enthusiasm even before the end of the first year.  Clearly, very little good can be gained from such sporadic training...train systematically, without becoming impatient or overexerting yourself, and develop gradually, advancing steadily, one step at a time..."

Master Funkoshi, advice on training from the Master text.

 Master Funakoshi devised and taught the 20 precepts of karate (Niju Kun). Sensei Funakoshi envisioned karate as being more than just self-defense, an art, or physical training, but a way of life.  Here's number 11;

Karate is like boiling water. If you don't heat it constantly, it will cool.

Your Choice:

Victim or Survivor

By Frank Shilosky

Everyone has the right to feel safe, secure and comfortable; unfortunately women have always been considered the best possible victim for the irate husband, boy friend, mugger or rapist. Whether you like it or not, this threat will not go away. The possibility of physical assault or rape does exist and has been on the increase in most metropolitan areas, college campuses and in our own Lake Havasu City.

latest FBI statistics reveal a woman is raped or assaulted every five minutes and potentially one in every four women will be exposed to some form of sexual or physical assault during her lifetime.

I believe the right of self-preservation does exist and that active resistance by screaming, kicking, biting, scratching or using any form of weapon available is the key to survival. Laws pertaining to the use of excessive force vary from state to state, but potential victims of rape or assault should not concern themselves with juries prudence, but only with survival. It is better to survive and be con-fronted with possible legal action than to be the victim of a violent assault or rape.

This series will provide the reader with an understanding of the traits and attitudes of these criminals. In addition security awareness both at home and away, basic survival techniques that work, non-lethal weapons and the martial arts will be discussed.

The author holds a masters rank (Rokudan 6th degree black belt) in Shotokan Karate, teaches state college approved women's self-defense and physical fitness programs. He has provided law enforcement and security training in the use of force, electronic restraint certification, pepper-spray, and special weapons training. He is the head instructor at the House of Samurai, a Shotokan Karate Dojo in Lake Havasu City for the past 25 years.

Rapist Profiles Part 2  

I recognize how emotionally and physically scarred or embarrassed a victim of rape or assault may feel, and their attack often goes unreported. However, the victim of the sadistic rapist, as profiled in this article, usually results in high media coverage as the victim often ends up in the hospital and at times, in the morgue.

Unfortunately in today's society women must face the ugly reality of possible sexual assault, and must be re-educated as to the various options of survival.

The following one-liners profile the most violent and dangerous type of rapists that a woman may encounter:

"ANGER" RAPIST

Intends to injure, sees all women as bad and in need of punishment.

More often than not will carry and use a knife or impact weapon. 
Expresses his anger and rage prior to and during the sexual act. 
Often has conflict with the women in his life. Transfers his anger by assaulting other women. Lives in a sexual fantasy world of controlling/dominating women. 
Often unskilled, minimum education, heavy drinker, easily frustrated.
Attacks suddenly, violently and retreats quickly. 
Will use excessive force to minimize victims resistance. 
Rips clothing, grab harshly for areas of sexual significance. 
Use abusive, degrading and humiliating language. 
Will shock victim with physical action rather than intimidate verbally. 

"SADISTIC" RAPIST 

Hostilities are carried out by victim domination by inflicting mental and physical pain. 
A weapon carrier, usually a knife. Will attack suddenly usually physically striking his victim. 
Performs violent and degrading acts, often to areas of the body of sexual significance.
May keep his victim for lengthy period of time performing bizarre and ritualized behaviors. 
Use brutal and often times deadly force. 
Attacks acquaintances and strangers alike. 
Surprisingly may be financially stable and outwardly appear well-adjusted. 
Becomes more sexually abusive with increased victim suffering and will increase his violence to heighten his sexual arousal.

 Dojo Review

 Bowing is very important in Karate.  As a Karate-ka (student of karate) formalities like bowing are a sign of respect towards others, and is a reflection of how you respect your discipline and instructor.  The standing bow like a handshake should not be too stiff or too relaxed.  Bowing should project humility but not subservience, respect but not arrogance.

 “The art of karate that we can now acquire openly was once taught only to the most trusted student in secret places seen only by the creatures of the night.”  Eihachi Ota

 The correct understanding of Karate and its proper use is Karate-do. One who truly trains in this do [way] and actually understands Karate-do is never easily drawn into a fight.

To win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the highest skill. To subdue the enemy with out fighting is the highest skill.   Gichin Funakoshi
