Karate-Do Sanka - The Karate Song

A song about Karate written by Shoshin Nagamine the founder of Matsubayashi Shorin-ryu Karate. www.facebook.com/kbhkkai English Translation Oh, beautiful islands of sunlight, And the color of the sea, The proud fighting spirit of the Islanders and the empty handed Sword of Justice. Training spirit and training body Oh, this is Okinawan Karate-do! Oh, but if an enemy should happen to attack us, and the method of courtesy prove to no avail, if he should cut our flesh with his iron weapon, even then we will punch through to his bones. Courtesy and defense together This is Okinawan Karate-do! Oh! Ever since the mythical ancestry of Japan, the bell of peace has been ringing continually in Okinawa. The way of courtesy and the five bodily weapons of Karate together, to make a straight character and good Etiquette, This is Okinawan Karate-do!
