In the growth of Karate, Funakoshi also saw his students at odds
with one another as rival factions formed. It is perhaps the tone of this change that in the1973 reprint of Funakoshi's book, "Karate do Kyohan," in which he said: "As a result of the social disorder that followed the end of World War II, the karate world was dispersed, as were many other things. Quite apart from a decline in the level of technique during these times, I cannot deny that there were moments at which I came to be painfully aware of the almost unrecognizable spiritual state to which the karate world had come from that had prevailed at the time I had first introduced and begun teaching of karate. Although one might claim that such changes are only the natural result of expansion of Karate-do, it is not evident that one should view such a result with rejoicing rather than with some misgiving." Gichin Funakoshi passed away on April, 1957 |
