Kishaba Juku usposabljanje v mesecu juliju 2011 v Sloveniji
(scroll down for English)
To kratko poročilo najinega obiska v Sloveniji je potrditev pregovora, ki pravi, da kdor išče ta tudi najde! Lahko rečeva, da sva preko dolgega ovinka skozi različne postaje, ki je del filozofije borilnih veščin, na koncu le srečala Boruta Mauhlerja, evropskega predstavnika učitelja Katsuhika Shinzata.
V mesecu februarju 2011 je Borut prijazno sprejel najino povabilo, da pride v Barcelono na obisk in trenira z nama. Takoj sva se prepričala, da je Shorin Ryu Kishaba Juku pristop karateju, ki nama edini popolnoma ustreza. Saj predlaga, moderno vizijo tradicionalnega okinavskega karateja. Shorin Ryu Kishaba Juku je sistem, ki sicer temelji na tradiciji, a prinaša nova načela dela s telesom. Srečala sva se z drugačnim treningom, ki naju je prisilil, da na novo premisliva o Karate-ju , ki sva ga do zdaj prakticirala, in tako ustvariva nove povezave med umom in telesom.
Da bi v najin sistem treningov vključili prakso Kishaba Juku karateja , sva se odločila, da se ponovno srečava z Borutom in njegovimi študenti na skupnem usposabljanju, a tokrat v Ljubljani, v času od 22. do 24. julija 2011.
Po prijetnem direktnem poletu iz Barcelone v Ljubljano, naju je na letališču s prijateljem Igorjem, vodilnim mojstrom šole Uechi-Ryu v Sloveniji, pričakal Borut . Sebastjan, Borutov učenec, nama je prijazno odstopil svoje stanovanje v času najinega bivanja v Sloveniji. V petek smo do pozno zvečer trenirali skupaj z Borutom, Markom in Mitjo.
V času bivanja v Sloveniji, naju je Borut s svojimi bogatimi izkušnjami o Kishaba Juku, saj že 17 let redno obiskuje Sensei-ja Shinzata, potrpežljivo poučeval o pravilni uporabi bokov in Koshija, ter o tem kako ustvariti več hitrosti in moči v tehniki preko sprostitve telesa. Vadili smo naslednje kate: Naihanchi , Fukyugata in Pinan. Ta celoten dogodek je predstavljal za naju neke vrste obred, s katerim sva imela občutek , da sva iz opazovalcev postala učenca Kishaba Juku.
Toda nismo ves čas trenirali, gostitelj naju je popeljal po Sloveniji, obiskali smo ljubljanski grad, Bled in Bohinj in si ogledali neverjetne naravne lepote, in jedli lokalno hrano. Pred odhodom je Borut z ženo pripravil poslovilno večerjo, na katero je povabil tudi svoje prijatelje.
Najin naslednji cilj je čimprejšnja vrnitev v Slovenjo ter z Borutom in njegovo skupino učencev obiskati Senseija Shinzata na Okinavi.
S tem kratkim poročilom bi se še enkrat zahvalila Borutu in njegovi družini ter prijateljem za enkratno gostoljubje v času najinega bivanja v Slovenji.

Kishaba Juku Training in July 2011 in Slovenia
This brief report of our small group being in Slovenia is a confirmation of the saying “in the end you find what you search for.” After a long travel through different stations, which is part of the philosophy of martial arts, we finally met Borut Mauhler, European representative of Sensei Katsuhiko Shinzato.
In February 2011 Borut kindly accepted our invitation to come to Barcelona to visit us and train with us. Immediately we recognized that the Shorin Ryu Kishaba Juku Karate approach is the only one that fully fit us. It proposes a modern vision of traditional Okinawan karate. Shorin Ryu Kishaba Juku is a system which, although based on tradition, brings new principles of work with the body. Through the training we discovered a different workout, through which we were forced to rethink Karate that we have practiced until then, by creating new connections between our mind and body.
In order to integrate in our training system the Kishaba Juku practice, we decided to meet with Borut again, but this time in Ljubljana and with his students, from 22 to 24 July 2011.
After a pleasant direct flight from Barcelona to Ljubljana, we met Borut at the airport, waiting for us with a friend, a leading master of Uechi-Ryu school in Slovenia. Sebastian, a student of Borut kindly ceded his apartment at the time of our staying in Slovenia. We trained together until late night with Borut, Marko and Mitja.
During the stay in Slovenia, Borut patiently shared his vast experience on Kishaba Juku, because for 17 years he is regularly attending Sensei Shinzato trainings in Okinawa. Borut taught us the proper use of hips and Koshi and how to create more speed and power techniques through relaxing of the body. We practiced the following Kata: Naihanchi, Fukyugata and Pinan. This whole event represented for us a kind of ritual with which we felt that we pass from observers to students of Kishaba Juku.
But we were not training all the time, the host took us around Slovenia. We visited the Ljubljana Castle, Bled and Bohinj and enjoyed the amazing natural beauty of the country, and we ate local dishes. Before leaving to Barcelona, Borut and his wife prepared a farewell dinner, at which he invited his friends.
Our next goal is to return as soon as possible to Slovenia and in the future with Borut and his students visit Sensei Shinzato in Okinawa.
With this brief report we want to thank once again Borut and his family and friends for a unique hospitality during our stay in Slovenia.
