Do you practice ‘Business Karate’?
The quote below came from a newspaper interview with Japanese seniors of a TMA.
While the article was mostly concerned with tournament scores and names of competitors some older seniors were interviewed regarding their system. They are all 9th and 10th Dan in a newly-formed association that recently broke away from the parent association.
In this translation, the system and interviewees are left unidentified.
After reading the passage, do you think this represents a positive developmental trend, the erosion of a classic system and values, or just the “course of nature”?
Please comment with your opinions; here is the quote…
In Europe and other places in the world, there is too much fear of
legal problems and lawsuits. They cannot train as we do here. They have business karate.
