Further, many major sports events for 2021 have been postponed to 2022! Martial Arts dojos in many countries have had to survive using digital teaching and other creative ideas. In some areas of the world, classes with any bodily contact are prohibited. And there are more uncertainties. Will the virus come back quickly after all the openings across the world or will it resurface sometime this fall or winter to wreak havoc again on our global community? No one knows.<\/p>\n
We have had to learn new phrases and ideas such as social distancing, deep cleaning, and sheltering in place. During this time it is imperative that no matter what our politics are that we as martial artists provide an exemplary example to those we influence. As martial artists this means that we show courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control and an indomitable spirit. It also means that we get things right.<\/p>\n
Courtesy \u2013 the wearing of a mask does not show your fear of others. It is simply showing a courtesy to your fellow man and protects them from you, not you from them. We have this backwards in the United States. If a mask is uncomfortable, think of wearing a neck gator and pull it up as necessary over your nose and mouth like the old time bandits! We have a responsibility as martial artists to show respect to others and if this requires a mask, so be it. We need to help change the thinking in our country about the use of masks.<\/p>\n
Integrity \u2013 just because we do not like something (closing down of business and loss of income) does not mean that we use denial. It is our job to protect life (isn\u2019t that what self-defense is for) not destroy it. We should show our integrity in following rules and regulations regardless of whether we agree or not. These restrictions have been empirically shown to slow the spread of the disease.<\/p>\n
Perseverance \u2013 we will continue to keep the flow of martial arts going \u2013 both physical and spiritual \u2013 despite any difficulties we might encounter. As martial artists we will show how to embrace new ways and see this through.<\/p>\n
Self-control \u2013 It is our responsibility to show the self-control during this time of adversity that is needed and be an example of what it takes to not only flatten the curve but eliminate all circumstances of covid-19. Flattening the curve only means that cases level out so that we only get x amount of hospital admissions a week. It does not mean we are done dying of the disease and that it has gone away.<\/p>\n
For those of us in the United States, having over 25% of the covid-19 deaths in the world is unacceptable. As Americans and martial artists it is our duty to do what we can to change this and provide leadership where it is lacking.<\/p>\n
Indomitable Spirit \u2013 We will not give up the defeating of this virus and will do all that we can to keep ourselves and our loved ones and students, our country and culture alive.<\/p>\n
As martial artists, it is our duty to thoroughly understand what we teach and teach it correctly and workably to our students and at the same time prepare them for life\u2019s goals and adversities.<\/p>\n
This means understanding completely the enemy (Covid-19) and doing nothing that would help it in its devasting effect on the human race. In this way, we will protect the liberties that we hold dear in our country. I am concerned that as a society, we have lost the concept of brotherhood and sisterhood and move simply for whatever we see as our advantage \u2013 whether it be financially or socially. I hope we as martial artists see through this wrong-thinking and work towards making our country a safer place.<\/p>\n
2020 est\u00e1 resultando ser un a\u00f1o muy, muy diferente al que estaba planeado. Los eventos de artes marciales en todo el mundo han sido cancelados, incluso los Juegos Ol\u00edmpicos de 2020 que fueron dise\u00f1ados para mostrar Karate por primera vez.<\/p>\n
Adem\u00e1s, muchos eventos deportivos importantes para 2021 han sido pospuestos hasta 2022! Los dojos de artes marciales en muchos pa\u00edses han tenido que sobrevivir usando la ense\u00f1anza digital y otras ideas creativas. En algunas zonas del mundo, las clases con cualquier contacto corporal est\u00e1n prohibidas. Y hay m\u00e1s incertidumbres. Volver\u00e1 el virus r\u00e1pidamente despu\u00e9s de todas las aperturas en todo el mundo o resurgir\u00e1 en alg\u00fan momento este oto\u00f1o o invierno para causar estragos de nuevo en nuestra comunidad mundial? Uno lo sabe.<\/p>\n
Hemos tenido que aprender nuevas frases e ideas como distancias sociales, limpieza profunda y refugios en su lugar. Durante este tiempo es imprescindible que no importa cu\u00e1l sea nuestra pol\u00edtica que nosotros como artistas marciales proporcionemos un ejemplo ejemplar a aquellos que influimos. Como artistas marciales esto significa que mostramos cortes\u00eda, integridad, perseverancia, autocontrol y un esp\u00edritu indomable. Tambi\u00e9n significa que hacemos las cosas bien.<\/p>\n
Cortes\u00eda – el uso de una m\u00e1scara no muestra tu miedo a los dem\u00e1s. Simplemente es mostrar una cortes\u00eda a tu pr\u00f3jimo y los protege de ti, no a ti de ellos. Tenemos esto al rev\u00e9s en los Estados Unidos. Si una m\u00e1scara es inc\u00f3moda, piensa en usar un caim\u00e1n de cuello y tira lo necesario sobre la nariz y la boca como los viejos bandidos! Tenemos la responsabilidad como artistas marciales de mostrar respeto a los dem\u00e1s y si esto requiere una m\u00e1scara, que as\u00ed sea. Necesitamos ayudar a cambiar el pensamiento en nuestro pa\u00eds sobre el uso de m\u00e1scaras.<\/p>\n
Integridad – s\u00f3lo porque no nos guste algo (cierre de negocios y p\u00e9rdida de ingresos) no significa que usemos la negaci\u00f3n. Nuestro trabajo es proteger la vida (no es para eso para la defensa propia) no destruirla. Deber\u00edamos mostrar nuestra integridad en seguir las normas y reglamentos independientemente de si estamos de acuerdo o no. Estas restricciones han sido mostradas emp\u00edricamente que ralentizan la propagaci\u00f3n de la enfermedad.<\/p>\n
Perseverancia – seguiremos manteniendo el flujo de artes marciales en marcha – tanto f\u00edsicas como espirituales – a pesar de cualquier dificultad que podamos encontrar. Como artistas marciales mostraremos c\u00f3mo abrazar nuevas formas y ver esto a trav\u00e9s.<\/p>\n
Autocontrol – Es nuestra responsabilidad mostrar el autocontrol durante este tiempo de adversidad que se necesita y ser un ejemplo de lo que se necesita para no s\u00f3lo aplanar la curva sino eliminar todas las circunstancias del covido-19. Aplanar la curva solamente Significa que los casos se nivelan para que solo tenemos x cantidad de admisiones en el hospital a la semana. No significa que hayamos terminado de morir de la enfermedad y que se haya ido.<\/p>\n
Para aquellos de nosotros en los Estados Unidos, tener m\u00e1s del 25 % de las muertes de covid-19 en el mundo es inaceptable. Como estadounidenses y artistas marciales es nuestro deber hacer lo posible para cambiar esto y proporcionar liderazgo donde falta.<\/p>\n
Esp\u00edritu indomable – No vamos a renunciar a la derrota de este virus y haremos todo lo que podamos para mantener a nosotros mismos y a nuestros seres queridos y estudiantes, nuestro pa\u00eds y cultura vivos.<\/p>\n
Como artistas marciales, es nuestro deber entender a fondo lo que ense\u00f1amos y ense\u00f1amos correctamente y trabajablemente a nuestros estudiantes y al mismo tiempo prepararlos para los objetivos y adversidades de la vida.<\/p>\n
Esto significa entender completamente al enemigo (Covid-19) y no hacer nada que lo ayudar\u00eda en su efecto devastador en la raza humana. De esta manera, protegeremos las libertades que tenemos queridos en nuestro pa\u00eds. Me preocupa que como sociedad hayamos perdido el concepto de hermandad y hermandad y movemos simplemente por lo que veamos como nuestra ventaja, ya sea financieramente o socialmente. Espero que como artistas marciales veamos a trav\u00e9s de este mal pensamiento y trabajemos para hacer de nuestro pa\u00eds un lugar m\u00e1s seguro.<\/p>\n
