I once witnessed Aihara Shihan deliver an incredible oizuki to the throat of his tournament opponent, who was himself, a very high level karateka. His timing and speed were incredible, if the control had not been there, the damaged caused would have been devastating. I will always remember the speed and straight forward directness of Aihara senseis stepping punch.

THE IMPORTANCE OF HUMANITY IN KARATE
Unfortunately karate has become a sport and recreational activity taught by those of both a high and a low rank. Very few know what it is they are teaching and mainly focus on all the wrong aspects. The physical techniques are not well understood so the basics of kata are taught as the foundation of karate. The humane aspects are rarely discussed or, are taught via the dojo kun and paid lip service only.
