New Project: “Hello Tiger!🐯” An artistic collaboration of ki club.cool teachers, martial- and visual artists @patrick.hattrick and @theresezoekende 
“Hello Tiger!🐯 is the first art work of a series of Digital Tiger Drawings highly inspired by the fabulous 18th century Japanese art of tiger drawing.
“Hello Tiger!🐯” is inspired by the painting “Tiger Cleaning its Paw” of Matsui Keichū (1785-1819), ink and color on paper, 133.5 x 58.4 cm, Minneapolis Institute of Art.
“Tiger Cleaning Its Paw”
is a mesmerizing artwork that depicts a majestic tiger in its natural habitat, meticulously grooming its paw. The tiger is depicted in a state of repose, with its paw held up to its face as it carefully licks and cleans each individual claw.
 
Samurai warriors
in the Medieval and Modern period loved art that depicted tigers. Tigers, for them, was a symbol of strength, which they highly valued.
 
Shotokan karate clubs
honor the tiger symbol. The Shotokan tiger first appeared on a book that Gichin Funakoshi -the founder of Shotokan karate- wrote back in 1922. The artist Hoan Kusugi and karate student of Funakoshi enticed Funakoshi, to write a book about Karate, Hoan Kosugi told Funakoshi that if he would write the book, Kosugi would design it and provide a painting for the cover. So, when Gichin Funakoshi produced the book, Hoan Kosugi produced the now famous Shotokan tiger.
His idea for the tiger came from the expression “Tora no maki.” Tora no maki, in Japanese tradition, is the official written document of an art or system, which is used as the definitive reference source for that particular art. Since no books had ever been written about Karate, Hoan Kosugi told Funakoshi that his book was the “tora no maki” of Karate, and since “tora” also means “tiger”, he designed the tiger as a representation of Funakoshi’s art. 👍

Outdoor Karate 👀🌳Video Diary.
Sunday August 11, 2024, Westerpark, Amsterdam. Class given by Thérèse Zoekende teacher and founder of karate school ki club.cool.

In this video you see us studying the kata named Kanku Dai. This kata used to be called Kushanku, but the name has changed to Kanku (looking at the sky). See the first two movements, where there should be a feeling of looking at the sky through the created space from the position of the hands.
In this class we especially focus on movement 11, 27, 30 and 52: the kick yoko geri keage, a sweeping side kick combined with an uraken uchi, a strike with the back of the fist~both can be used for an attack or defense.

In spring and summer karate school ki club.cool teaches outside in the Westerpark. Next class is Sunday morning August 18, 10:30-12:00 hrs. 

EARLY BIRDS: 20% OFF!
Wil je ook bij ons karate beoefenen? Dat kan vanaf de start van het nieuwe seizoen 2024-2025: maandag 2 september. Je ontvangt een Early Birds korting van 20% als je je in september aanmeldt voor een lidmaatschap! Contact us for more info: therese@martialart.nl 🦜pk@martialart.nl 🕊️🦩🦢🐓🐦‍⬛🪿🦅🦉🦃🦤〰️🥋

Outdoor Karate 👀🌳Video Diary.
Sunday August 4, 2024, Westerpark, Amsterdam. Class given by  Patrick Koster teacher and founder of karate school ki club cool.

In this video you see us practicing the bunkai of movement  1 and 2, and 16 from the kata: Kanku Dai.
Bunkai literally meaning “analysis” or “disassembly”. It is a term used in Japanese martial arts referring to the process of analysing kata and extracting fighting techniques from it. 

Kanku Dai:
>Movement: 1-2. There should be a feeling of looking at the sky through the created space from the position of the hands. This kata used to be called Kushanku, but the name has changed to Kanku (looking at the sky) because of this movement.
>Movement 16. Shuto Gedan Barai = Low level open hand block, Jodan Shuto Uke = Upper level block and Jodan Mawashi Uchi = Upper level horizontal open hand strike.
From: Karate-Do Volume 1. Japan Karate Association, page 193 and 206. And Best Karate, Bassai, Kanku, M. Nakayama, page 85.

In spring and summer karate school ki club.cool teaches outside in the Westerpark. Next class is Sunday morning August 11, 10:30-12:00 hrs.

About ki club.cool

'Lust for Life!'

ki

ki: (JPN), Chi (CHN), Prana (IND), Pneuma (GRC) betekent vitale levensenergie. Ki is de bron van al het leven. Bij de geboorte krijgt men deze levensenergie mee en door adem te halen ververst deze energie zich. Zonder ki geen leven. Traditionele Aziatische zelfverdedigingskunsten pogen ki te cultiveren om de gezondheid te bevorderen. Zo ook bij ki club.cool waar je je lichaam leert te vullen met ki en het krachtig te gebruiken.

about the club

club: ki club.cool is een community, een club waar je lid van kan worden en mensen kunt ontmoeten. Een van de doelstellingen van de club is het onderling contact tussen leden te bevorderen in een sfeer van vertrouwen en respect. Het Japanse begrip Rei dat buigen betekent neemt een belangrijke plaats in binnen het karate-do. Het drukt respect uit jegens jezelf, anderen en je omgeving en is gekoppeld aan etiquette en goede manieren.

about being cool

cool: ‘wie wil er nou niet cool zijn?’ Cool verwijst o.a. naar mentale discipline; ‘het hoofd koel houden’ of ‘een kalme geest’. Karate technieken zijn meestal zeer explosief, krachtig en snel, maar ze worden gecontroleerd uitgevoerd en altijd met ‘tegenwoordigheid van geest’. Een karate-ka dient zich ten alle tijden bewust te zijn van zijn/haar acties. Dit ontwikkelt zelfkennis en het vermogen in tijden van nood het juiste te doen.

about ki club.cool

ki club.cool is opgericht in Amsterdam in 1994 door Thérèse Zoekende (4e Dan KWF / 3e Dan JKA) en Patrick Koster (4e Dan JKA). Bij ki club.cool wordt traditioneel Shotokan Karate-do beoefend volgens de filosofie van karategrootmeester Gichin Funakoshi. De club is aangesloten bij Karatenomichi World Federation Nederland (KWF-NL, gelieerd aan KWF in Tokyo, Japan) en de Karate-do Bond Nederland (KBN, gelieerd aan WFK).

ki

[English version]

about ki: (JPN), chi (CHN), prana (IND), pneuma (GRC) means vital life energy. Ki is the source of all life. At birth one “receives” this life energy and by breathing it refreshes itself. There is no life without ki. Traditional Asian self-defense arts aim to cultivate ki to promote health. Similarly at ki club.cool where you learn to fill your body with ki and use it powerfully.

the club

club: ki club.cool is a community, a club where you can join and meet people. One of the club’s objectives is to promote mutual contact between members in an atmosphere of trust and respect. The Japanese concept of Rei, which means bending, occupies an important place in karate-do. It expresses respect towards yourself, others and your environment and is linked to etiquette and good manners.

being cool

“Who doesn’t want to be cool?” Cool refers, among other things, to mental discipline; “Keep a cool head” and “a calm mind”. Karate techniques are usually very explosive, powerful and fast, but they are controlled and technically performed and always with “presence of mind”. A karateka must be aware of his / her actions at all times. This develops self-knowledge and the ability to do the right thing in times of need.

about ki club.cool
