GANDIA (SPAIN)
Open course for all levels
The course was organized by Lorenzo Marti and Frank Schubert, both members of the Academy.
Besides the Spanish karateka some Academy members from England and Portugal took part in the course.
The course program was intended for experienced karateka.
In order to understand the way of overcoming the achieved technical and physical level, two basic principles of Kase Ha approach were analyzed: firm ground contact and harmonized abdominal breathing. Through different kihon exercises, as well as in kata and prearraged kumite, the main aim was to improve the entire body kime by changing the speed and intensity of the breathing. Besides these technical conditions the importance of a sincere mental approach, as a crucial precondition for further Ki development was emphasized as well. Even though the trainings were quite demanding, seriousness and enthusiasm prevailed.

Breathing and body coordination was practiced in Kihon and Kata in order to understand the creation of the proper Kime. Some characteristic sequences were demonstrated and implemented with the partner, emphasizing the importance of the proper distance and using adequate block and counter attack techniques.

NIS, SERBIA
Official Spring Course for the
Shotokan Karate-Do Academy of Serbia
More then a 100 members of the Academy of Serbia took part in this event, around 40 Instructors and more then 75 their students. The course began on Friday evening with the Instructors training and continued on Saturday morning with two more sessions, while a DVD projection and one hour discussion was scheduled after the training. In the evening, as usual, all the instructors had a dinner together.
On Sunday the first session was for Instructors again, while the second session was open to the public and student of all levels and ages participated. The main purpose of having instructors' and students' training together was to set the correct karate attitude for the young karateka while training side by side with their teachers and to adopt the genuine idea of Kase Ha Shotokan Ryu Karate-Do.
On the other hand it is important to educate the public and to present in the best way all principles and qualities of our Karate way, which is radically different from the commomly superficial picture about sports karate nowadays. More then 300 visitors watched the training in the Saint Sava gym. At the end of the second training, about 15 members of the domestic karate club "Omladinac" led by sensei Rujevic Bratislav held a short, but very effective demonstration of Kihon, Kata and Kumite, followed by sensei Velibor Dimitrijevic who was assisted by instructors Sasa Djordjevic and Nenad Vucicevic in performing kata Bassai Sho as a Kata team. Finally Sensei Dimitrijevic and the two instructors demonstrated the major parts of the kata in an impressive form of Bunkai. The whole event was closed with a Kata tournament which was organized for different age categories for females and males. The first three places were awarded with Academy Diplomas.
As a part of the campaign to promote Kase Ha Shotokan Ryu Karate-Do, on Friday evening Sensei Dimitrijevic gave a one hour interview for the TV5 station in Nis, which transmits all through the country. Mainly thanks to the journalist, the conversation was not a superficial presentation of karate. Sensei Dimitrijevic shed more light to the mental and spiritual aspects of Karate-Do practice, explaining that Karate-Do practice must have a more profound impact on person's life. Judging by calls, question asked and SMS messages the TV station received, the interview managed to stir public opinion in a very positive and sophisticated manner.
Vise
od 100 clanova Akademije Srbije ucestvovalo je na ovom seminaru, oko 40
instruktora i preko 75 njihovih ucenika. Seminar je poceo u Petak
uvece treningom treningom za Instruktore i nastavio se sa jos dva

U Nedelju, prvi trening je ponovo bio samo za Instruktore, dok je drugi trening bio otvoren za javnost i na njemu su pored instruktora ucestvovali i ucenici svih uzrasta i zvanja. Cilj ovakvog treninga je da, podjednako stariji i mladji, iskusni i pocetnici, prihvate jedinstven stav prema karateu i da se uvere u ispravnost principa i kvalitete Kase Ha Shotokan Ryu Karate-Doa.
U cilju edukacije javnosti trening je bio otvoren, i u sali skole Sveti Sava bilo je prisutno gotovo 300 gledalaca. Oni su imali priliku da se uvere da se karate koji zastupa Akademija sustinski razlikuje od povrsne slike koja je u javnosti danas prisutna kroz formu iskljucivo sportskog karatea. U tom cilju, na kraju treninga petnaestak clanova Karate kluba Omladinac, od pionira do seniora , odrzalo je kratku ali efektnu demonstraciju. Predvodjeni sensei Bratislavom Rujevicem pokazali su elemente tehnike, kata i dogovorenog sparinga. Na kraju, uz asistenciju instruktora Sase Đordjevica i Nenada Vucicevica sensei Velibor Dimitrijevic je demonstrirao katu Bassai Sho u formi kata tima, a zatim karakteristicne delove kate u impresivnoj formi Bunaki. Seminar je okoncan prigodnim Kata turnirom za sve kategorije, a najboljima su dodeljene Diplome Akademije.
U sklopu kampanje za promociju Kase Ha Shotokan Ryu Karate-Doa, u Petak uvece Sensei Dimitrijevic je gostovao na kanalu TV5 u Nišu. Zahvaljujuci voditelju jednocasovni razgovor je bio mnogo više od prizemne reklame za bavljenje karateom. Sensei Dimitrijevic je suštinu razgovora usmerio ka mentalnoj i duhovnoj sferi karate vezbanja, naglašavjuci znacaj prihvatanja i shvatanja karatea kao veštine i životne filozofije. Sudeci po pozivima i porukama koji su stizali u TV5, intervju je imao znacajan odjek u javnosti Srbije.

ATHENS 2006 KARATE-DO CAMP
Loutraki Sport Camp
This year Athens 2006 Karate-Do Camp was attended by karateka from England, Sweden, Spain, France, Serbia and Greece. Training program was realized with two morning sessions from 9:30 to 13:00. The idea of the course is to follow the spirit of Kase sensei, and the course was more demanding then last year. Many of the participants were experienced karateka who had attended Kase sensei's courses and had a chance to witness how it is possible to go beyond ordinary karate level. During the course, clear distinction, from the pure physical practice was made in all aspects of training by implementing proper breathing and concentration on the inner movements from hara. In order clearly to understand our style and sophisticated method of mind and body harmonization, video projection from the course with Kase sensei in Greece was shown. Distingushed characteristics of his Budo approach and method were analysed and discussed.
Na
ovogodisnjem kampu Athens 2006 ucestvovali su karateke iz Engleske,
Svedske, Spanije, Francuske, Srbije i Grcke. Treninzi su odrzavani
svakog dana od 9:30 do 13:00. Kamp se organizuje sa namerom da se
odrzi i sledi duh sensei Kasea, i ove godine je bio mnogo naporniji.
Znatan broj ucesnika je ucestvovao na seminarima sa sensei Kaseom,
i sami su se uverili da je moguce dostici nivo koji je daleko iznag
uobicajenog. Tokom svih treninga naglasavani su koncentracija na
mentalna i fizicka kretanja iz donjeg stomaka primenom disanja i
usmerenog toka misli, u nameri da se ucini korak dalje u odnosu na
cisto fizicko vezbanje. U cilju boljeg shvatanja prefinjenosti stila u
dostizanju harmonizacije svesti i tela prikazana je i video projekcija
sa jednog od seminara sa sensei Kaseom u Grckoj. Razgovarano je o
prepoznatljivim elementima kojima se odlikuje Budo pristup
vezbanju.
July 29th - August 6th
SUMMER KARATE-DO CAMP
Vlasina Lake ( SERBIA)
Over one hundred karateka of all ages attended this year's Summer Karate-Do Camp of the Shotokan Karate-Do Academy of Serbia. It was held in two parts, the Junior Camp consisting of about 50 participants from July 29th to August 1th and the Instructors Course from August 1th to August 6th where around 60 karateka, including 10 guests from Greece and England, participated.
What makes the Instructor course so significant during the last three years, is the specific training program which is quite different from the ordinary approach to the course training. The ultimate goal was to connect the physical, tangible, part of the karate practice with the metaphysical approach, which is the cornerstone of the higher development in Kase Ha Shotokan Ryu Karate-Do. During the 5 days of the course the following schedule was applied: The day begun with Zen training in the outdoors from 6 to 7 on the slopes of the mountain at the altitude of about 1500m. Different kind of breathing exercises applied to the gentle body motions together with concentration and stretching woke up the mind along with vital body organs in order to increase the flow of the internal, ki, energy. After a two hour break and breakfast two more sessions followed in dojo from 9:30 to 13:00. Though, the emphasis was now given to the technical and physical characteristics of the different karate techniques, the breathing and mental approach was incorporated to the great extent. Most of the techniques that represent Kase Ha Shotokan Ryu Karate-Do were studied individually as well as with one and two opponents. As a result of such a training method the general body condition was highly improved. Although training was highly demanding and the engagement in trainngs was literally about 7 hours per day, no one was exhausted. On the contrary, at the end of the course everybody felt energetically recharged and very enthused.
Preko
100 karateka svih uzrasta ucestvovalo je na ovogodisnjem Letnjem Kampu
Shotokan Karate-Do Akademije Srbije. Ove godine Kamp je odrzan u dva
dela. Juniorski kamp, od 29 Jula do 1.Avgusta sa oko 50 ucesnika,
i Instruktorski kamp od 1-og do 6-og Avgusta, na kome je ucestvovalo
oko 60 ucesnika medju kojima i desetak gostiju iz Grcke i Engleske.
Ono sto karakterise Instruktorski Kamp u poslednje tri godine je svakako specificni traening program koji se dosta razlikuje od uobicajenih seminarskih treninga. Konacni cilj je povezati fizicki, opipljivi nacin treniranja sa metafizickim pristupom koji predstavlja kamen temeljac na visem stepenu napredovanja u Kase Ha Shotokan Ryu Karate-Do-u. Tokom svih pet dana kampa primenjen je sledeci program aktivnosti: Dan je pocinjao sa jutarnjim Zen treningom od 6 do 7 na padinama Vlasine na nadmorskoj visini od oko 1500m. Razlicite vezbe disanja primenjene u sklopu sa umerenim pokretima tela kao i koncentracija i vezbe fleksibilnosti imale su za cilj da probude svest i vitalne organe i da pospese kretanje unutrasnje, ki, energije tela. Nakon pauze od dva sata i dorucka sledila su jos dva treninga u dojo-u od 9:30 do 13:00. Iako je naglasak ovde bio na tehnickim i fizickim detaljima razlicitih karate tehnika znacajna paznja je bila posvecena disanju i mentalnom stavu. Gotovo sve tehnike kojima se odlikuje Kase Ha Shotokan Ryu Karate-Do bile su uvezbavane pojedinacno, kao i sa jednim i dva partnera. Kao rezultat takvog metoda treninga, generalno stanje tela je bilo podignuto na visi nivo. Iako su treninzi bili veoma naporni, i angazovanost u trenaznom procesu je bila gotovo 7 sati dnevno, niko se nije osecao iscrpljenim. Naprotiv, na kraju kampa svi su se osecali energetski preporodjeni i ispunjeni

ATHENS ( Loutraki Camp)
Weekend course for the Honbu Dojo Athens
l
Besides members of the Hobu Dojo Athens, total of 35 senior participants of this weekend course, there were five members of the affiliated dojo from Nikea (municipality in Athens) led by sensei Kalaitsidis as well as three guests from England and one from Serbia. The main goal for this course was to improve the knowledge and ability of practical implementation of different Kata parts. Different Bunaki ideas were analyzed under more real conditions, paying particular attention to the proper timing, distance and firm ground contact. As one of the main aspects of the Kase Ha Shotokan Ryu Karate-Do, breathing was exercised during all sessions mostly with Kihon practice in order to achieve the harmony with the techniques and to understand the expression of kime which comes as a result of the proper Ibuki breathing. In the technical part of the programm, this time more emphasise was given to the improvement of the moving skills, in order to overcome inertia of the body's centre of gravity, particularly in basic straight attack and defense combinations.
Pored
clanova Honbu Dojo Athens, medju 35 ucesnika na ovom vikend seminaru
bila su petorica iz Nikea dojo koji vodi sensei Kalitzidis, kao i
gosti: trojica iz Engleske i jedan iz Srbije. Cilj seminara je bio da
se poboljsa sposobnost prakticne primene razlicitih delova iz Kata.
Razlicite Bunkai ideje su analizirane u
realnim situacijama naglasavajuci vaznost pravovremenosti i distance
kao i cvrstog kontakta sa podlogom u trenutku sukoba. Disanje, kao
jedan od osnovnih aspekata Kase Ha Shotokan Ryu Karate-Doa je
uvezbavano na svakom od treninga uglavnom sa osnovnom tehnikom. Vazno
je bilo postici harmonizaciju sa pokretom kako bi se shvatilo
stvaranje kimea kao posledica pravilnog Ibuki disanja. U tehnickom
delu, ovog puta, posebna paznja je bila posvecena unapredjenju
kretanja u cilju prevazilazenja inertnosti tezista tela, posebno kod
pravolinijskih kombinacija napada i odbrane.

NIS ( Serbia )
Open Course for all levels
Na seminaru koji je organizovao jedan od najstarijih klubova u Srbiji
Karate klub " OMLADINAC" iz Nisa, ucestvovalo je oko 70 uglavnom
starijih i iskusnijih karateka. Pored clanova kluba ucestvovalo je i
oko 30 instruktora ili iskusnih clanova Shotokan Karate-Do Akademije
Srbije iz deset gradova ( Vranje, Leskovac, Nis, Kraljevo, Jagodina,
Gornji Milanovac, Bor, Beograd, Becej, Aradac).
Shotokan Karate-Do Akademija Srbije postoji vec vise od deset godina i vecina njenih clanova dosledno sledi ideju Kase Ha Shotokan Ryu Karaate-Do-a. Ovaj seminar je bio prilika da se upoznaju sa jednim novim programom koji je imao za cilj da dalje uzdigne nivo vezbanja, kao i da jos vise priblizi aspekte: disanja, kontakta sa podlogom, vestine kretanja kao i analize Kata.
Posebno je bila naglasena razlika u sposobnosti proizvodjenja i kontrole statickog kimea u dogovorenom sparingu sa jedne strane i sposobnosti neusiljenog, tecnog, kretanja i kontrole prostora sa druge strane. U tom cilju je predstavljen i jedan novi pristup u Bunaki analizi kate. Neki od osnovnih elementa iz Heian Kata su izabrani i primenjeni u formi dogovorenog sparinga na nacin koji zahteva bolje uocavanje i kontrolu distance, momenta reagovanja kao i otpora usled kontakta kako od napadaca tako i od onoga koji se brani. Slican pristup je predstavljen i u analizi Bunaki Bassai Dai kate.
Jedan ceo trening je bio posvecen unapredjenju vestine kretanja i sticanju sposobnosti bolje procene distance, najpre samo u kretanju u razlicitim pravcima, a zatim i sa protivnikom u sparingu, precizno naglasavajuci normalnu, kratku i dugacku distancu kao i izbor odgovarajuceg kontra udarca. Najiskusnijim instruktorima je naglasena vaznost sposobnosti disanja kao i pravilnog koriscenja i raspodele kimea pri ovakvom vezbanju.
The event was organized by Karate club "OMLADINAC" from Nis, which is
one of the oldest clubs in Serbia. Almost 70 karateka attended, mostly
senior practitioners. The course was open and about 30 instructors or
senior members of the Shotokan Karate-Do Academy of Serbia from ten
other towns took part (Vranje, Leskovac, Nis, Jagodina, Kraljevo,
Gornji Milanovac, Bor, Beograd, Becej, and Aradac).
Shotokan Karate-Do Academy of Serbia exists for more then ten years now and most of the members are familiar with Kase Ha Shotokan Ryu Karate-Do. This course was the opportunity to present a different, more demanding program in order to further elevate the level and to get in closer touch with the aspects of breathing, ground contact, moving skill and Kata Bunkai application.
Clear distinction was made between the ability to generate and control basic, statical kime in prearranged sparing from one side and ability to move fluently controlling the space around the opponent from the other. In the same manner, quite new approach to the Bunkai Kata application was introduced. Some basic elements from the Heian Katas were selected and applied in a form of prearranged kumite, demanding better understanding of distance, timing and contact resistance for both attacker and deffender. Similar Bunkai approach was introduced while analyzing some of the characteristic elements from Bassai Dai Kata.
One whole session was dedicated to improve the moving skill and to acquire faster distance estimation, first controlling the body motions in different directions and then with the opponent, clearly emphasising normal, short and long distance and use of the proper counter attack technique. Importance of the adequate breathing as well as the way of kime transformation were explained for the most advanced instructors.

Novi Sad (SERBIA)
Open Course for all levels
Ovaj
seminar u Novom Sadu je znacajan iz vise razloga. Nakon vise godina
poklonici istinskog Karate-Doa imali su ponovo priliku da se uvere da
Budo Karate-Do koji gaji Shotokan Karate-Do Akademija Srbije
predstavlja nepresusan izvor znanja za nadgradnju nakon
elementarnog, takmicarskog nivoa. Jedan broj iskusnih karate
instruktora i poklonika karatea koji su prisustvovali seminaru, a koji
prate razvoj karatea na ovim prostorima od pre vise od 40 godina
uverili su se da duh i kvalitet vestine koju je Taiji Kase doneo na ove
prostore nastavljaju da zive. Bilo je interesantno videti kako se u
roku od samo dva dana menja kompletna slika onih koji vezbaju kada
prihvate ideju Kase Ha Shotokan Ryu Karate-Doa, i kada primene u svom
vezbanju sve aspekte kontrole tela, disanja i mentalnog usmeravanja
koje ovakav pristup zahteva. I pored cinjenice da se najveci broj
ucesnika po prvi put susreo sa ovakvim pristupom vezbanju, svi su sa
izuzetnim entuzijazmom i iskrenoscu prihvatili zahteve napornih
treninga, sto se veoma primetno odrazilo na njihovo vezbanje. Treba
pomenuti samo nekoliko aspekata na kojima je bio naglasak na seminaru.
Pre svega su to bili tehnicki detalji, od presudnog znacaja za cvrsto
drzanje stava, kontrolu tezista tela kao i neke od osnovnih linijskih
kao i neke specificnih kretanja u stranu karakteristicnih samo za
Kaseov stil. Insistirano je na izgradnji razornih tehnika blokiranja
kao osnove dalje nadgradnje kao i na mnogo preciznijim noznim
tehnikama, ne zaboravljajuci ni jednog trenutka sinhronizaciju sa
disanjem u cilju odrzavanja kompaknosti tela. Primerno je obradjena
kata Bassai Dai, naglasavajuci vaznost koordinisanog disanja i stava
kao izvora energije, a zatim je sekvencijalno analizirana Bunkai kata
sa protivnikom. Pored toga, tokom celog seminara su isticani tehnicki,
mentalni, duhovni ali iznad svega moralni principi na kojima se
temelji razvoj Kase Ha Shotokan Ryu Karate-Doa sa ciljem da ga
poklonici prihvate kao Budo vestinu i zivotnu filozofiju, a ne samo kao
povrsnu sportsko-atletsku disciplinu.
O uspesnosti seminara govore sledeci
podaci: Ukupno je bilo oko 50 ucesnika tokom dva dana treninga. Na
seminaru su ucestvovali i predstavnici iz Slovenije, Hrvatske i Crne
Gore. Ucesnika iz Srbije je bilo iz 20 gradova. Pored clanova
Akademije iz Beograda, Jagodine, Gornjeg Milanovca, Uzica i Leskovca,
najveci broj ih je bilo iz gradova Vojvodine (Novi Sad, Petrovaradin,
Sremski Karlovci, Sremska Kamenica, Milosevo, Debeljaca, Kacarevo,
Pancevo, Zitiste, Aradac, Lukicevo, Subotica, Zrenjanin) sto je i bio
cilj seminara. Na kraju, treba reci da sve cestitke za kompletnu
organizaciju seminara zasluzuje Dragan Doder, koji je jedan
od dugogodisnjih saradnika sensei Dimitrijevica. Njihova saradnja
datira iz vremena od pre vise od 20 godina kada su veoma uspesno
organizovali seminare kao i kurseve za strucno skolovanje trenera na
teritoriji bivse Jugoslavije. Ovaj seminar predstavlja prvi korak u
realizovanju zajednicke namere da se ozbiljno pristupi promociji i
organizaciji delovanja Akademije Srbije na teritoriji Vojvodine.

ST.HELENS (England)
Course for the English Shotokan Academy (ESA)
ESA Chairman and a member of the Kase Ha Shotokan Ryu Instructor Academy Shihankai, Michaylo Fedyk 6DAN organized this event. This two days course was attended by 25 mostly senior ESA members. Among the participants were also senior ESA and Academy instructors William Slater 6DAN, Alan Armstrong 5DAN and Norman Gomersall 4DAN. The entire course's program was devoted to the basic principles of the Kase Ha approach. Mostly moving skills in different directions were practiced, paying attention to the stance firmness and ground contact. Special effort was exerted in order to adjust Ibuki breathing during all movements. The following stage was to apply the exercise with the opponent. As an example of the same approach Bassai Dai kata was practiced, and some of the characteristic elements were checked through practical Bunkai sparring, always having in mind the "different" source of power; coming as a result of breathing, coordinated with ground contact and not barely from the muscular contraction. Though, technically the course was very demanding, all sessions were carried out with great enthusiasm, almost without interactions. Besides important technical details, some aspects of the mental development, breathing and Budo approach in daily life were discussed.
Ovaj
seminar je organizovao Predsednik Engleske Shotokan Akademije
i clan Tehnicke Komisije Kase Ha Shotokan Ryu Instruktorske Akademije,
Michaylo Fedyk 6DAN. Na dvodnevnom seminaru je ucestvovalo oko 25
starijih clanova ESA medju kojima i nekoliko vodecih
instruktora: Slater William 6DAN, Alan Armstrong 5DAN i Norman
Gomersall 4DAN. Ceo seminar je bio posvecen uvezbavanju osnovnih
principa Kaseovog pristupa vezbanju. Uglavnom su vezbana kretanja u
razlicitim pravcima uz naglasak na cvrstinu i stabilnost stavova i
kontakt sa podlogom. Poseban napor je ucinjen da se uskladi Ibuki
disanje uz svaki od pokreta. U sledecoj fazi vezbana je prakticna
primena sa partnerom. Kao primer istovetnog principa vezbana je kata
Bassai Dai, a neki od elemenata su obradjeni u formi Bunkai sa
protivnikom, sa teznjom da se ima u vidu trazenje "drugacije" snage,
kao rezultat disanja i koordinacije pokreta i kontakta sa podlogom, a
ne kao posledica stezanaja misica. Mada je program seminara bio
prilicno zahtevan svi treninzi su protekli u odlicnoj atmosferi i
gotovo da nisu cinjeni uobicajeni prekidi za odmor. Pored detaljnih
objasnjenja kljucnih tehnickih detalja razgovarano je i o mentalnim
aspektima vezbanja kao i o disanju u sklopu Budo Karatea kao koncepta
zivotne filozofije.

(Aradac, Zrenjanin, Becej, Novi Sad, Petrovaradin, Beograd, Gornji
Milanovac, Kraljevo, Cacak, Nis, Leskovac, Vranje) kao i iz Republike
Srpske i Hrvatske. Program seminara je na neki nacin bio rezime svih
ovogodisnjih seminara, naglasavajuci znacaj kljucnih aspekata Kase Ha
stila u redovnom trenaznom procesu. Na treningu u Petak uvece je
uvezbavana osnovna tehnika u formi "O waza" , sa velikim zamasima, uz
menjanje pravaca kretanja. Svaka od kombinacija blokova, udaraca ili
noznih tehnike, povezivana je i uskladjivana sa disanjem kako bi se
dostigao stepen neophodne kontrole kimea iz donjeg stomaka. Prvi
trening u Subotu je imao borbenu formu. Radilo se u parovima kako bi
se unapredio osecaj za pravovremenost reakcije i preciznu procenu
distance. Naravno i dalje se insistiralo na kontroli kimea "odozdo",
dakle kao posledica kontrole stava i kimea koji se postize disanjem iz
donjeg stomaka, a ne samo iz ramena sto je inace najcesci slucaj.
Drugi trening je bio posvecen Bunaki analizi kate Sochin. U prakticnoj
primeni sa protivnikom vezbana je Omote, Ura ali i Go i Go no ura
varijanta kako bi se shvatile razlicite strategije borenja kao sama
ideja na kojoj se bazira Sochin. Naglasene su njene karakteristike,
pre svega u promeni vrste kimea tokom izvodjenja, kao i
povezivanje izometrijskih i eksplozivnih pokreta kao nacina za budjenje
i kontrolu unutrasnje energije. Na kraju je istaknuta neminovnost
potpunog vladanja pravilnim disanjem kao preduslova da se kata izvede
pravilno i shvati njena poruka. Prvi trening u Nedelju je bio posvecen
kretanju a drugi sparingu i Oyo Bunaki analizi pocetka kate Jion u
nekoliko varijanti sa protivnikom.
Na polaganju za DAN zvanja dodeljena su dva 4DAN-a ( Rujevic Bratislav i Tosic Dragana iz Nisa), jedan 3DAN (Nenad Vucicevic, Gornji Milanovac) i jedan 2 DAN (Aleksic Branislav, Beograd) . Kao jedan od vodecih instruktora Rujevic je potvrdio visoki nivo poznavanja sustine naseg karatea, a i kod polaganja za prethodno zvanje Kase sensei je istakao da je bio iznad nivoa za koji je polagao. Tosic Dragana je na najbolji nacin potvrdila svoju doslednost u vezbanju i privrzenost liniji Akademije koju prati vec, zavidnih, 30 godina. Vucicevic je nakon 5 godina veoma aktivnog ucesca u svim aktivnostima Akademije na najbolji nacin potvrdio da korektna tehnika i takmicarsko iskustvo spojeni sa Budo usmerenjem stvaraju preduslov za najvisa dostignuca u borilackoj vestini. Aleksic je takodje kao jedan od mladjih clanova Akademije demonstrirao kompletnost u pristupu koji se zahteva od clanova Akademije. Njih dvojica spadaju u red mladjih instruktora i objektivno je ocekivati da ce u godinama koje slede biti nosioci razvoja Akademije i primer mladjima.
Po obicaju, u Subotu po podne je bila DVD projekcija sa temom iz Budo vestina, sa ciljem da se ukaze na znacaj mentalne i duhovne dimenzije u razvoju drugih potencijala koje ljudsko telo poseduje, sem fizickog. Ovog puta prikazan je jedan od cuvenih aikido majstora u odmaklim godinama zivota kako sa cudesnom vitalnoscu i lakocom demonstrira neverovatnne sposobnosti koje su posledica kontrole i upotrebe unutrasnje energije (ki) razvijene kao posledica Budo pristupa u vezbanju i zivotu. U razgovoru koji je prethodio razgovarano je o stanju u Akademiji i potrebi da se bez izuzetaka sledi i postuje zacrtana linija razvoja. Jos jednom je naglaseno da je simbol Kazeovog stila karatea Gi, odnosno najvisi oblik moralne obaveze. Gi je osnovni princip na kome se bazira i koncepcija Akademije Srbije i svaki prekrsaj moralnog kodeksa kaznjava se iskljucivanjem iz clanstva.
Na kraju, treba reci da je bilo vise nego ocigledno da su ucesnici seminara svojim nesebicnim zalaganjem na treninzima i ponasanjem jasno izrazili i svoju pripadnost Akademiji i svoju spremnost da se za njene ideale i principe bore.
Around
50 instructors from all around Serbia, as well as from Croatia and
Republic of Serbska (BIH) took part at this regular instructor's course
in Nis. In a way, this course was a summary of all activities during
this year, emphasizing once again the most important aspects of our
Kase Ha approach to Karate-Do practice. At the Friday's training,
basic techniques were practiced in "O waza" form with the constant
direction changing. At the same time, the main task was, to harmonize
proper abdominal breathing with creating of the extreme kime. On
Saturday, during two sessions fighting abilities were emphasized in
motions with the partner, particularly precise distance and good
timing. Second session was devoted completly to the Bunaki analysis of
the kata Sochin using Omote and Ura but also Go and Go no ura
approaches. It was extremely important to comprehand that the crucial
role in understanding the meaning and the idea of Sochin lies in the
implementation of the proper breathing, which is supposed to be used
here in several different variations in order to achieve the energy
flow. On Sunday, more moving exercises were given as well as
application of the part of Jion with the opponent.
DAN grading examination was a success
and all candidates demonstrated high level of performance. Two 4DAN,
one 3DAN and one 2DAN were given. As usually DVD projection and
lecture were organized on Saturday afternnon and dinner at night.
