Breaking Your Body and Karate
Breaking your body and karate. Religious orders and martial arts are not monolithic in their expressions. Yet there is a practice that both have and some still do engage in and that is the mortification of the body. In some religious systems, the old practice of mortifying the body, was a form of penitence. This was a way of proving how contrite the practitioner was. How sorry they were in respect to their transgressions. Tools, where used the tool of choice, was the flagellum. The religious orders used an old Roman whip to beat themselves. Using a Roman whip from the age of Jesus is not lost on us.
Breaking Your Body for…Reasons
Martial artists – Karate practitioners, some Kung-Fu as well as other systems use tools to strengthen their bodies. These martial artists have the goal to build muscle and bone in an attempt to harden the body. The idea being a hardened body is in preparation for potential combat. Tools are used to achieve the hardening of the body. These tools may take on the shape of a jar full of gravel to drive one’s fingers into. Using the same jar as a weight increasing grip strength is also done.
Attempting to Harden the Body
The devotion to penitence or the devotion to building one’s body can be exaggerated. Breaking your body and karate. This exaggeration can take place to the point of damage and that is what this podcast is about. The blind adherence to ideas and techniques that no longer serve, but in fact damage.
The originating point gets a treatment. And the new world we are living in is takes consideration. The purpose of that type of training. Why that kind of training gets using and how we can bring it forward into the future safely. And how we can let some things go because they not only no longer serve the purpose but may be doing damage to our bodies.
We have more information on how the body works than ever before in history. Why would we not avail ourselves of such knowledge and act?
