You've been told a myth about karate. Bodhidharma did not create karate. Scholars have debunked that story for decades. Legends are cool. History is better. Follow to learn the truth. #karate #martialarts

Karate strengthens mind and body to overcome life's challenges. #karate #martialarts

Came across this ostrich today. Took a pic, thought about #Nostr and that #Nostriches should practice #Karate 🥋👊

#Bitcoin = sovereign money
#Nostr = sovereign communication
#Karate = sovereign mind and body
Be free. Practice #martialarts

Master Funakoshi said it best: "the mind needs to be freed". For me this means that in life you should always remember to be humble and grateful. Do your best. Don't compare yourself to others or worry about what you cannot control. #karate #martialarts

Shotokan means 'Hall of Pine Waves". It comes from Funakoshi's pen name: Shoto. His students later called his dojo the house/hall of Shoto, hence "Shoto kan". He was a poet, not just a fighter. A warrior who wrote poetry. That is the Way. #karate #martialarts

I had my first Shotokan Karate-do lesson 36 years ago and never looked back. Today, I'm just a simple martial artist who loves helping others learn Karate. It's never too late to try it for yourself. Find a local dojo and ask for a free trial. Start your journey today. #karate #martialarts

One man changed Karate forever. In 1922, Master Gichin Funakoshi demonstrated Karate in Tokyo and never went back to Okinawa. That one demo basically created Shotokan, the traditional and competition style practiced by millions of people worldwide. How about that? #karate #martialarts

#Karate strengthens mind and body to overcome life's challenges. In many aspects, the whole concept of Nostr reminds me of the 5 main Shotokan karate principles (dojo kun): character, honesty, effort, etiquette, self-control. This is why I'm announcing free in-person group trial Karate lessons to all #Nostriches in a dojo near Lisbon, Portugal. Available to all ages and levels. Classes in English, Portuguese, French and Spanish. DM to schedule your classes and for the exact location. Anyone living nearby want to try? Mention your npub at the door!

The traditional Karate style Wado-Ryu is known for its fluid movements, body shifting and incorporation of Jujutsu principles using the opponent's energy. It has ~2 million practitioners worldwide and is mostly found in Japan, UK and Northern Europe. #karate #martialarts
