Confessions of Martial Arts 3
" Teachers open the door . You enter by yourself "
-Chinese Proverb
The difference between Teacher and Master is vast. Teacher or Acharya just teaches what he has to teach pr for what he is paid for and leaves the responsibility of learning to the students , where as Master or Guru ji believes in complete transformation of his disciples and moulds them to the greater good of society and world at large .
Sensei Kumai is one such gentleman.He is expert in Judo and Sumo wrestling and deadly full-contact Kyoshunkai Karate under world best masters of his time. Sensei Kumai is Extremely Strong and Extremely Agile.. Weighing 240 pounds can pounce at you in split second with force of heavy duty truck , but neverthless uses his full power and force as he is a strong believer in non violence.
This is a small article by Hindu news paper on my master.http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/mp/2002/12/05/stories/2002120500610400.htm
Its not Karate he teaches , but Life itself. My complete transformation has come under his guidence and all rough edges were smoothned .Mr.Kumai always says Karate is not at all important in life but character is. Despite being super strong , he never propogated violence. He always says "Violence always begets more violence". He always teaches us karate as to provide physical fitness and exercises for better health and discpline, than learn to fight and become strong fighters.One student asked him what his reaction should be when confronted .His reply was quick ..."Just Run , if cornered-Block and Run, But never fight " is his advice which might sound silly to public but real maturity means silence .(Will Explain later in Myths About Martial Arts)
We have no rules .There is no Fee.Teaching is for free. Discipline is cardinal rule and punctuality is the one quality we have to develop .We are supposed to come at 5.40 am .And when he says 5.40 am , it is 5.40 not 5.39 or 5.41 am .And the practice goes on upto sharp 8.00 am.There is no force in this. He sets an example first and you will automatically follow him.We are heavily indoctrined in principles of non violence and finer aspects of life . We are always advised to remain calm ,polite , gentle and inculcate spirit of forgivness.
MartialArts under Sensei Kumai transformed my life extremly .It enriched my life and re-defined Living .It made me more Calmer, Softer, and more gentle.
Martial Arts didnt make me strong - but more Healthier
Martial Arts didnt make great fighter-but embedded Fighting Spirit.
