Osu!This is a letter that was sent by Sosai Mas Oyama before the 1st World Tournament. I believe his words are just as fitting today. OSU!
International Karate-Organization Kyokushmkaikan Director Mas. Oyama.
The world today is confronted with numerous crises that seem to be our touchstone and challenge for world unity and a world of peace. We are faced with diminishing natural resources, the unhappy and unpleasant disagreement between countries. North and South, East and West and the critical predicament of the weak, poor and hungry These conditions are universal and require that every man make a personal and serious effort to create a better world. We can do this, by self-discipline, dedication and sincere purpose-through Karate.
In the past. Karate was known usually as only one of the martial arts that consisted of powerful and mysterious fighting technics. The oriental belief, however, is that Heaven, or God, provided us with a body and physical abilities as a means for our survival and progress. The fundamental principle of karate, therefore, is the efficient utilization of these natural basic body move-ments that have always existed with us and are used everywhere and for all purposes. The technical ability and skill to use the body, hand or foot as a weapon was refined and polished - and later incorporated a spiritual discipline - and now has become known as the unarmed martial art-Karate. Proper karate has no need for weapons.
The Chinese character 武術, means Martial Art and consists of two parts, "Halberd" (a combination spear and battle-ax) and "the laving down of arms", that is, the suppression of hostilities. This concept of nonaggression as a way of life, was considered by man, in ancient times, even prior to the invention of Chinese writing.
Nevertheless, men have continued to fight each other and to destroy each other We are all aware of where this agony and suffering and needless way of life has led us. All students of the martial arts must be aware of the immense sadness and unhappiness caused by this conflict. We must learn to always respect others and refrain from violence.
The history of war and the invention and progress of modern weapons has increasingly contributed to the pitiful condition we have today in the world.
In Hiroshima, an Atomic bomb killed 240,000 people and since that time, other bombs have been perfected that are capable of a thousand time more destruction and horror.
When we think about the meaning and possible consequence of all these improvements in technology and warfare, we can only feel bewildered and apprehensive. It has become absolutely vital for us, as members of the human race, to lay down our arms and cultivate a spirit of friendship and cooperation.
In this age of atomic energy and highly developed weapons, karate may seem out of style, out-dated and even looked upon as a "Paper Tiger" martial art. Karate, however, is still very much a modern and mighty potent art. When developed step by step, through daily training, karate, becomes a most powerful discipline and a tremendous contribution to our society.
Nowadays, more and more outstanding men, throughout the world, have shown an increased desire to learn the way of karate, instead of the way of the gun. They have become critical of a society filled with violence and misery and are turning to the discipline of karate in their search for peace. It makes us feel that these men have a deep love for mankind and a true respect for human life.
Followers of Karate should examine carefully the question concerning man's struggle for existence. He should seriously investigate and inquire into the essence and meaning of life.
When I introduced Karate to the Western world, twenty-five years ago, no one was familiar with the word-or principle of karate. The people who attended my demonstrations looked at me as if I were a bit insane. But, we have always earnestly believed that the way of karate is beneficial to all mankind and so we decided to establish the International Karate Organization, with the hope of making karate available to all men. Our most cherished dream, these past twenty-five years has been to someday hold a World Karate Tournament.
As our organization grew and expanded throughout the world, there also appeared many other kinds of karate-most of them were without a true martial art spirit. And along with vogue of karate came rascals and charlatans posing as karate men, who wished only to exploit and deceive sincere lovers of karate.
It has been very difficult for us, who follow only pure karate, but our dream has finally been realized and we will now hold this World Tournament and demonstrate to all nations, a true and proper karate. Not only our tournament rules, which have been tested so many times, but also our meaning and concept of Karate Spirit, will become an example of man's ability to achieve extraordinary self-discipline, spiritual strength and progress through proper karate.
Mankind is not confined only to a world of quarrelling and fighting. We have another world with wonderful virtues-understanding each other, sympathizing with each other, loving each other and having compassion for each other. These devine virtues should be used for us to walk hand-in-hand toward our goal. With all our might, we must strive to preserve this beautiful, plentiful and strong world of friendship.
I hope this World Tournament will be fruitful and serve as a monument for World-peace and friendship and that our karate spirit will reflect all over the world, our belief, that we who fight with empty hands are the new architects of a new and better world. My friends!
See you in the spring, 1975, in Tokyo.
