Bushido: Way of Total Bullshit
Related but at a tangent - after a lifetime of interest in karate I came to realise that most of the stuff taught at karate is not practical.Katas and karate punches and kicks - most of this better thought of more as dancing or ceremonial. A bit like Tai Chi - except that Tai Chi claims no real world martial value.The myth remains however of karate being great self defence training.Our local karate club is packed with ever more kids going every week to learn pointless moves, with parents thinking the kids are learning to defend themselves.
