Basically, I'm gonna have to call "bullshit" on this guy. He's being intentionally misleading and misdirecting. His interpertations of the word karate, as breakdowns of the kemetic soul and as "Christ" are simply ridiculous. Are there spiritual implications to various martial arts studies? CLEARLY. Look at my own art of taekwondo. I used to study the taegeuk. That is 8 forms symbolizing the 8 trigrams or kwae that surround the um/yang, mathematically organized and balanced to represent the universe. That symbol, the taegeuk, is of daoist origin. The forms that share the name supposedly reflect that, I still use the taegeuk techniques, if not the patterns. However, his butchery of the Japanese language is uncalled for to prove that point. Also consider that there is a difference between jitsu and do, meaning that "karate", seeing as he could mean anything with such a generic term, may or may not be concerned with the way of life and even if it was, who said it was necessarily spiritual? Now, lets say it WAS a spirutually based art. Karate meaning Christ and/or Kemetic divisions of the soul? That's BS whether he's ultimately right or not. I'm not gonna read through the entire site, but it seems to me that he's bullshitting to prove his point and make money off of the Nuba. Has he even been to grapple with them?
