According to legend, at the beginning of karate (early twentieth century), students studied only one kata for three, five years, even a lifetime. This does not mean that others might know the movements of kata, but the focus of his practice was his kata: it scans, experimenting with him, he drew the secrets, and learned to move, to defend, to attack, to balance the mind and the body. His karate was developed from the kata.
work in Goju Ryu only about 12 katas, which are nothing compared to other schools. To me 12 and I think enough to extract the juice, and do not understand how anyone could work more. Many times I get the feeling that the things I taught a kata are included at all.
Gotama is also said that people gave speeches that he had not heard before, adapting the content to your understanding and explaining the teaching in one way or another depending on the listener. These people had to stay with the instruction of the Buddha and, with it, work up to the release suffering. They had Wisdom Publications, or Access to Insight or Theravada Forest or Pali Text Society. Nothing. Gotama just a talk given a day spent by the people.
I thought we'd get maybe more out of the suttas, such as karate, if instead of trying to cover all the teachings, and read us the Majjhima Nikaya, Digha Nikaya and , and Sanmyutta Nikaya, and Anguttara Nikaya, Dhammapada and well, and learn the steps of Dependent Origination, the Noble Eightfold Path the Five Powers, the Seven Factors of Enlightenment, etc., we stopped just one (or two) suttas with which to connect, and understand that capture the essence of education and give themselves a way to be free from suffering . I can think of the Dhammacakkappavatana the Maggavibhanga the Satipatthana the Anapanasati the Sabbasava or Mulapariyaya , but I'm sure everyone has their favorite. Once chosen, the sutta as the only guide, we will go to the roots of trees, empty dwellings, jhana practice, without neglecting or fall in repentance, until we understand with every fiber of our body the essence of teaching.
