Dojo Kun
|
|
Dojo Kun translates into "rules of the school". These rules were originally taught through training during the Samurai era (1100 – 1600). Essentially, they are a set of values and beliefs that are otherwise known as "Bushido" (the way of the warrior).
Although the Dojo Kun is accredited to Gichin Funakoshi Hanshi, they were originally written by Tode Sakugawa. Today, they serve as guiding principles and code of ethic for all Karate-ka. This article briefly translates some of the context behind each rule.

Coaching Model for Karate: How can coaching benefit Karate Teachers?
|
| This blog is part of an MA dissertation conducted by Azeem Mushtaq at the Oxford Brookes University. During this study, seven elite Karate Teachers were interviewed about their Karate practice. Essentially the objective of the interviews was to determine what is actually happening in Dojo's in reference to Karate teaching. These interviews were transcribed and analysed, the findings and themes have been extrapolated and submitted for review in this blog. All interviewees have been invited back to review these findings and provide further input in order to validate what was discussed. |
