00:00:32,308 --> 00:00:34,965
of karate among the young
people of the world.
5
00:00:36,622 --> 00:00:38,728
Every man, deep
in his subconscious mind
6
00:00:38,762 --> 00:00:41,558
desires to become
a strong man.
7
00:00:41,593 --> 00:00:45,942
Karate is a world apart,
a world of men.
8
00:00:45,976 --> 00:00:48,427
Day and night,
in New York, Paris, London
9
00:00:48,462 --> 00:00:51,741
and throughout the world,
young men have undergone
10
00:00:51,775 --> 00:00:54,123
strenuous training,
in a bid to challenge
11
00:00:54,157 --> 00:00:56,090
the karate champions.
12
00:00:57,988 --> 00:01:01,854
This documentary film shows
the world and the men of karate
13
00:01:01,889 --> 00:01:03,822
and the expert fighters,
who would participate
14
00:01:03,856 --> 00:01:06,135
in the first
"World Open Karate Tournament"
15
00:01:06,169 --> 00:01:07,860
held in Japan.
16
00:01:09,034 --> 00:01:11,278
- You know what karate is?
- Yes, I do.
17
00:01:11,312 --> 00:01:12,934
What do you
think of it?
18
00:01:12,969 --> 00:01:14,971
'Well, I don't know
too much about it''
19
00:01:15,005 --> 00:01:17,007
'I personally am not
terribly interested in it''
20
00:01:17,042 --> 00:01:19,665
- 'You know what karate is?'
- 'Yes, I know.'
21
00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:21,460
'What do you think of it?'
22
00:01:21,495 --> 00:01:25,119
'I think it's a gas for those
who know how to handle it.'
23
00:01:25,154 --> 00:01:27,570
'Don't use it to get
their aggressions out.'
24
00:01:27,604 --> 00:01:29,158
'You know,
on their neighbors.'
25
00:01:30,711 --> 00:01:33,127
Most important
and indispensable in karate
26
00:01:33,162 --> 00:01:36,751
is the basic thing which
consists of three elements.
27
00:01:36,786 --> 00:01:39,823
The thrust, the catch
and the kick.
28
00:01:39,858 --> 00:01:42,136
Extensive training not only
develops the effective use
29
00:01:42,171 --> 00:01:44,656
of power, but results
in the strengthening
30
00:01:44,690 --> 00:01:46,658
of the waist and the wrists
31
00:01:46,692 --> 00:01:49,005
which require
a great deal of twisting.
32
00:01:49,039 --> 00:01:51,835
A man skilled in karate
can easily break
33
00:01:51,870 --> 00:01:54,459
ten or more sheets
of Kawara tiles.
34
00:01:54,493 --> 00:01:56,771
Or five, two centimeter boards.

The popularity of karate
is not limited to Japan.
39
00:02:15,135 --> 00:02:17,378
It has spread
throughout the world.
40
00:02:17,413 --> 00:02:19,242
North and South America
41
00:02:19,277 --> 00:02:24,316
Europe, Africa, Australia
and all of South East Asia.
42
00:02:24,351 --> 00:02:28,113

In the Dojo or training
schools throughout the world
47
00:02:53,414 --> 00:02:56,900
many women can be found
training in the sport.
48
00:02:56,935 --> 00:02:59,317
Because karate has a long
history and tradition
49
00:02:59,351 --> 00:03:05,081
of over 1000 years,there are
various schools and styles.
50
00:03:05,115 --> 00:03:08,153
Reflecting perhaps on
the increasing crime rate today
51
00:03:08,188 --> 00:03:10,328
not only men,
but women as well
52
00:03:10,362 --> 00:03:13,158
train themselves
in the art of karate.
53
00:03:13,193 --> 00:03:16,265

[speaking in Japanese]
55
00:03:18,163 --> 00:03:20,993

oneself when attacked

00:03:21,028 --> 00:03:24,549
with bare hands,
without weapons.

Although lightweight
compared to the others
92

his unique bird-like spring
is a highly advanced technique

The American delegates
from New York
98
00:08:35,169 --> 00:08:37,137
are of an uncanny stature
99
00:08:37,171 --> 00:08:39,346
reminding one of
the eye of a hurricane
100
00:08:39,380 --> 00:08:42,591
because of their
deceptive calm appearance.
101
00:08:42,625 --> 00:08:45,559

110
00:09:20,456 --> 00:09:22,492
than the people

111
00:09:22,527 --> 00:09:25,323

a lot of kicking techniques.

00:09:40,096 --> 00:09:42,892
You know, we just learn
how to fight the new way

[karate grunting]
170
00:14:26,935 --> 00:14:29,282
Good friends,
Williams and Clark
171
00:14:29,316 --> 00:14:32,837
share the strong comradeship
found only in karate.
172
00:14:32,872 --> 00:14:36,461
Both live in the suburbs of
New York, have part time jobs
173
00:14:36,496 --> 00:14:39,326
and devote
themselves to karate.
174
00:14:39,361 --> 00:14:42,674
For them,
karate is life itself.
175
00:14:44,124 --> 00:14:45,954

179
00:15:06,767 --> 00:15:08,908
The other delegate
from the United States
180
00:15:08,942 --> 00:15:11,082
is Charles Martin.
181
00:15:14,361 --> 00:15:18,400
[Charles Martin]
'I personally feel
that this is the only way'
182
00:15:18,434 --> 00:15:20,574
'a tournament should be held.'
183
00:15:20,609 --> 00:15:23,060
'It is a full contact
tournament.'
184
00:15:23,094 --> 00:15:26,580
'And that, people train
and they try to do..'
185
00:15:26,615 --> 00:15:28,582
'They train their
bodies physically'
186
00:15:28,617 --> 00:15:30,584
'and they train
their minds mentally.'
187
00:15:30,619 --> 00:15:34,726
'So as to be prepared for this''
188
00:15:34,761 --> 00:15:38,282
'Now, one can take karate'
189
00:15:38,316 --> 00:15:41,906
'and know theoretically
how to do this'
190
00:15:41,941 --> 00:15:44,736
'and how to do that, but unless
they actually practice it'
191
00:15:44,771 --> 00:15:49,086
'and put it in motion
and use it.'
192

[karate grunting]
195
00:16:27,987 --> 00:16:31,404
Both Martin and Williams
stand six foot six.
196
00:16:31,438 --> 00:16:32,992
When they strike each other
197
00:16:33,026 --> 00:16:35,684
it will be with a vicious,
violent power.
198
00:16:37,099 --> 00:16:40,206
Martin does not rely
merely on physical strength.
199
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,036
His intellectual approach
to fighting has placed him
200
00:16:43,071 --> 00:16:46,384
in a unique position
in the field of karate.
201
00:16:46,419 --> 00:16:49,767
He's taken part in the US Open
Championshiptournaments
202
00:16:49,801 --> 00:16:52,632
winning several times.
203
00:16:52,666 --> 00:16:53,978
Williams, on the other hand
204
00:16:54,013 --> 00:16:55,945
has a destructive
straight punch
205
00:16:55,980 --> 00:16:58,431
that has caused
several injuries.
206
00:16:58,465 --> 00:17:03,470
This will be a confrontation
of intellect and brute power.
207
00:17:03,505 --> 00:17:05,817
[karate grunting]
208
00:17:05,852 --> 00:17:07,888

[karate grunting]
215
00:17:48,860 --> 00:17:50,828
While the deciding factor
in the tournament
216
00:17:50,862 --> 00:17:53,106
will be the extent
of the foreign power
217
00:17:53,141 --> 00:17:55,660
Oishi, of small stature
is the hope
218
00:17:55,695 --> 00:17:58,180
of the Japanese delegation.
219
00:18:04,773 --> 00:18:06,602
[karate grunting]
220
00:18:12,953 --> 00:18:15,749
His round kick,
especially his left
221
00:18:15,784 --> 00:18:18,097
has the speed of lighting.

Toshi Kazusa Sato,
always is on the offensive.
226
00:19:01,830 --> 00:19:03,728
An aggressive fighter,
he has won
227
00:19:03,763 --> 00:19:06,455
the All Japan Championship
several times.
228
00:19:06,490 --> 00:19:08,906
He is best known
for his favorite technique
229
00:19:08,940 --> 00:19:11,702
of the left frontal
and back round kicks.
230

Kishi undergoes
severe training in New York.
238

He is being specially trained
by Shihan Nakamura.

Among the American delegates,
Oliver in particular
244
00:21:51,206 --> 00:21:53,242
bet his life's dream
on the world tournament
245
00:21:53,277 --> 00:21:55,244
hoping to take back
the championship
246
00:21:55,279 --> 00:21:58,386
as a wedding gift
for his fiancé, Cheryl.
247
00:21:58,420 --> 00:22:01,285
He had spent much of life
in preparation for the event
248
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:05,289
at the encouragement
of his teachers and friends.
249
00:22:05,324 --> 00:22:07,291
His deep interest
in the orient
250
00:22:07,326 --> 00:22:09,983
linked with Zen Buddhism
and the samurai spirit
251
00:22:10,018 --> 00:22:13,401
has won him the admiration
of all who know him.

00:23:24,644 --> 00:23:27,302
The number of delegates
from each country is limited
257
00:23:27,336 --> 00:23:31,375
to four at this first
World Open Karate tournament.
258
00:23:34,482 --> 00:23:36,449
For the participants
it is the culmination
259
00:23:36,484 --> 00:23:39,003
of years of training
and hard work.
260
00:23:39,038 --> 00:23:42,662
Japan being the host country,
enjoys the special privilege
261
00:23:42,697 --> 00:23:45,803
of having eight delegates
in the tournament.
262

[speaking Japanese]
263
00:23:58,506 --> 00:24:01,474
There are various schools
of karate in Japan.
264
00:24:01,509 --> 00:24:04,097
However, most schools today
are concerned only
265
00:24:04,132 --> 00:24:06,652
with kata or style.
266
00:24:06,686 --> 00:24:09,068
Tokshinkay, the sponsor
of the tournament
267
00:24:09,102 --> 00:24:11,553
however, is a school
of Kenka Karate.
268
00:24:11,588 --> 00:24:13,417
The fighting karate.
269
00:24:13,452 --> 00:24:16,075
It is karate in its
most practical form.
270
00:24:16,109 --> 00:24:18,422
The principle
of actual fighting karate
271
00:24:18,457 --> 00:24:22,840
to counter attacks with only
the use of bare hands.
272
00:24:22,875 --> 00:24:25,394
The fighters bodies
must be trained to a point
273
00:24:25,429 --> 00:24:28,708
seemingly beyond the limits
of human endurance.
274
00:24:28,743 --> 00:24:30,917
Anyone on the receiving end
of a blow
275
00:24:30,952 --> 00:24:33,230
will easily have
bones broken.
276
00:24:33,264 --> 00:24:36,405
In order to counter this
destructive power themselves
277
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,443
the men must undergo
severe training.

For this tournament,
the traditional Japanese drum
284
00:25:48,339 --> 00:25:51,653
was used to signal
the beginning of the matches.
285

[all grunting]
286
00:25:57,210 --> 00:25:59,834
Seiken Shiwari or straight
punch board breaking
287
00:25:59,868 --> 00:26:01,421
is compulsory for anyone
288
00:26:01,456 --> 00:26:03,734
participating
in the tournament.
289
00:26:03,769 --> 00:26:05,391
Using a clenched fist
290
00:26:05,425 --> 00:26:07,600
piles of two centimeter
boards are broken.
291
00:26:07,635 --> 00:26:10,430
Points being given
to the number of boards used.
292
00:26:11,742 --> 00:26:14,469
Compound fractures
of the hand at this stage
293
00:26:14,503 --> 00:26:17,679
can easily incapacitate
a participant.
294
00:26:21,821 --> 00:26:24,410
Prior to the matches,
the American delegates
295
00:26:24,444 --> 00:26:25,998
William Oliver
and Charles Martin

00:26:27,447 --> 00:26:29,726
explaining the rules
of the tournament.
298
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,418
In tournament matches,
the Tokshinkay school
299
00:26:32,452 --> 00:26:35,766
has far less rules regarding
fouls than other schools.
300
00:26:37,526 --> 00:26:39,563
While hand blows
to the face or head
301
00:26:39,598 --> 00:26:42,290
and countering with the hand
and blows of any kind
302
00:26:42,324 --> 00:26:44,050
to sore spots are forbidden.
303
00:26:44,085 --> 00:26:46,881
All other tactics
are permissible.
304
00:26:46,915 --> 00:26:49,469
The attacker must not hold on
to his opponent
305
00:26:49,504 --> 00:26:51,644
for longer than two seconds.

345
00:30:56,647 --> 00:31:00,168
passed down through the ages
to the present time.
346
00:31:00,203 --> 00:31:03,792
It's style is quite different
from Japanese karate.
347
00:31:03,827 --> 00:31:06,623
Kung fu is a sport whose
movements are rather a form
348
00:31:06,657 --> 00:31:09,971
of physical beauty than
a practical form of fighting.

The people of Thailand
have a special

of boxing called Muay Thai.
413

It's origin,
like karate, is China.
414
00:37:46,505 --> 00:37:50,233
Arriving in Okinawa,
it developed into karate.
415
00:37:50,268 --> 00:37:55,169
In Thailand, it became the

428

similar to Oliver

And his strength is not at all

As the tournament progresses
451
00:41:57,445 --> 00:42:00,138
the number of injuries
increase.
452
00:42:00,172 --> 00:42:02,140
Normally in karate matches,
the participants
453
00:42:02,174 --> 00:42:03,624
do not hit their opponents
454
00:42:03,659 --> 00:42:07,007
but stop the attack just short
of actually hitting him.
455
00:42:07,041 --> 00:42:08,664
However, for this
world tournament
456
00:42:08,698 --> 00:42:11,977
the opponents actually attack
each other until one is beaten
457
00:42:12,012 --> 00:42:13,600
or submits.
458
00:42:15,084 --> 00:42:16,810
This is Kyokushin karate
459
00:42:16,844 --> 00:42:21,159
which is the practical form
of karate, a fighting karate.
460
00:42:21,193 --> 00:42:23,299
The difference between
this form of combat
461
00:42:23,333 --> 00:42:25,612
and other forms such as
wrestling and boxing
462
00:42:25,646 --> 00:42:29,650
is that there is no matching
of ranks or body weights.

taking into account
the temperature.
470
00:43:02,614 --> 00:43:05,341
The fighters have a reputation
for their tenaciousness.
471
00:43:05,375 --> 00:43:08,586
But how much they will be able
to use it to their advantage
472
00:43:08,620 --> 00:43:11,140
in the world tournament
is another matter.

more of his training on
endurance and strength

rather than technique.
754

has a reputation

for his powerful legs.
776
01:12:34,798 --> 01:12:37,594
His low kick which
lashes out continuously
777
01:12:37,629 --> 01:12:40,839

against his opponents.

I think karate has
made him even more so.
798
01:14:31,432 --> 01:14:34,400
Because I'm not gonna say
it's gonna change a personality
799
01:14:34,435 --> 01:14:38,266
but if basically you're that
way anyway, it's simply gonna
800

make you mature in those areas
which I think he's matured in.

calm person, a patient person.

he did things.

I think karate has
impressed upon him
804

even more the importance
of thinking
805
01:14:53,558 --> 01:14:56,906
before you do things,
the importance of self control.
806

of what you're doing

how you're doing it
