Miyama-News
By Sensei Jhoel Tejada
We are living in an era on constant changes, evolutions and new
expectations; nevertheless, simultaneously we were in a return to the past. The
new generations have been interested in returning to the basic roots of the
diverse lines that govern the present time.
Philosophy, religion, ideology, medicine, are examples of how the present
man has embarked in a trip to the past, in search of solving the problems that
reign in their surroundings.
We can say that this also it is the case with the martial arts, and the
height that has been reaching for already a few decades, and mainly in the
present decade.
It exists to present an amazing amount of people who practice one
simultaneously or several martial arts, (or they are interested at least in some
aspect of them). Most amazing it is also the reality of a quite high amount of
young people who leave the vices and the inactivity to dedicate itself to this
so popular practices.
Nevertheless, can the reader give a definition of which it is MARTIAL ART?
The martial arts are, without a doubt and in other words, the art of war.
They constituted a vast system of tactics and techniques used for the national
defense, and later personal of the involved ones in them. (In ahead it was
spoken of martial arts of Japanese origin exclusively.)
The martial arts began being an example system battle denominated BU JUTSU
(Art of war), which was taught rigorously and exclusively to the soldiers of
chaste samurai of feudal Japan. These soldiers had mission to serve their feudal
gentleman protecting the feudal in which he lived.
The Bu Jutsu included a series of arts (kenjutsu, Kyujutsu, Jujutsu, etc.)
in those that samurai was trained from its childhood in addition to painting,
handwriting and much more aspects. He is doubtless that the art that it had
supreme importance for samurai was the Kenjutsu or art of the swords (katanas)
with which he fought in its battles.
It is possible to stand out that if the samurai lost in combat its katana,
which was its core, resorted to the defense method that constituted to the body
like a lethal weapon: the secret art of JU JUTSU.
Nevertheless, in the year of 1863 a revolution in Japan that gave back the
power to the emperor and abolished, like safety measure took place chaste
samurai, dismantling thus all the arts (Jutsu) in ways (Do) and thus producing
what today we know like Karate Do, Kendo, Iaido, Judo, Aikido, among others.
Since it has been exposed, in the antiquity the martial arts were one,
providing as physical integrity, mental and spiritual to those who they they have
the honor to practice them.
Nowadays, it is typical to listen to expressions like: " That style
that you practice is not effective " or " Judo is better than Karate
". Such comments come from people with or without no knowledge of the
history of the art, and not realizing that each martial art is complemented with
each other, or simply we preferred for particular and personal reasons the art
that we practiced.
We are not mistaken: No true MARTIAL ART is better than other, they are just
good and bad practitioner of the same ones.
