Mange
mennesker har den helt fejlagtige opfattelse at den vestlige form for
Kickboxing stammer fra Japan og Thailand. Det faktiske forhold er at i
starten af halvfjerdserne, var der i USA en mængde frustration i karate
kredse over den måde som turneringer blev holdt på. Man startede
alternativt med at kæmpe med boksehandsker for at kunne udøve et fair
knockout system hvor alle klubber havde de samme vilkår, og inden længe
var man i gang med både amatør- og professionelle stævner i det man kaldte
FULL CONTACT KARATE. Derfor er det naturligt at beskrive bæltesystemer i
Kickboxing som en naturlig del af denne sports arv fra fortiden. I 1980
startede debatten om det fortsat skulle hedde Full Contact Karate eller om
man skulle vælge det nye navn Kickboxing. Det amerikanske
Karate/Kickboxing Magazine havde følgende leder i vinteren 1980:
Full Contact Karate or Kickboxing?
“Full
Contact Karate,” “Kickboxing,” “Karate”! What do these terms actually
mean? Karate/Kickboxing (KK magazine) has, after considerable thought on
and research of the martial arts in the Unites States as well as foreign
countries, decided that the three non-synomous terms be placed in their
proper perspective.
“Karate” in the simplest translation means “empty
hands”. Therefore, Full Contact Karate implies that all of one’s natural
weapons are to be utilized in striking any and all vulnerable areas of an
opponent. There would be no rules and any and all techniques would be
allowed. However, Full Contact Karate as currently practiced in the United
States is anything but this as the rules and regulations limit techniques
to be used and areas to be attacked. Both the hands and feet are padded
and almost all the hand techniques utilized have been borrowed from
conventional boxing. The only actual Karate techniques remaining are the
kicks which themselves are limited. So, what we have is “Kickboxing.”
The closest thing to Full Contact Karate practiced and exhibited to
the public would be Thai Kickboxing. The Thailand fighters have trained
long and hard hours toughing their legs and shins by kicking stationary
objects which created callouses so hard that they could break baseball
bats and bottles without pain or injury. Japanese kickboxers also are more
liberal with the techniques allowed.
In late 1969, a version of
Contact Karate was introduced in the United States. Joe Lewis, an advocate
of realism and physical conditional as well as being at the top of the
point tournament Karate ranks, was quick to take advance of the
opportunity to prove that he was the number one for real as well for fun
(point, no contact Karate).Lewis opposed a tough competitor named Greg
Baines. The fight, which took place in California, was billed as “Full
Contact Karate”, as knee and elbows were allowed. However, traditional
Karateists rasied so much opposition that the term “Kickboxing” was
adopted.
Other matches followed in Texas, New Mexico, New York as well
as in California. By 1972, the rules has been revised, eliminating knees
and elbows. Thus, the only semblance to Full Contact Karate left was the
kicking. In 1975, Mike Anderson revived and assumed the Full Contact
Karate name when he promoted the so-called first World Full Contact Karate
Championship. But again the only Full Contact Karate techniques allowed
were the limited kicks. However, since that time the term “Full Contact
Karate” has prevailed.
KK magazine is not trying to put down the
various organizations which believe that “Full Contact Karate” is what
they are selling out; instead is attempting to be realistic and put the
exciting new sport in its proper perspective. In Japan, karate and
kickboxing are separate and distinct, each with its own governing bodies.
Canadians also distinguish between the two arts. The interchangability of
the Karate, Full Contact Karate and Kickboxing terms have also served to
confuse the Public. Non-Karateists as well as Karateists see
advertisements for the events and are totally confused as to what they are
going to actually see. Once they purchase a ticket to the event expecting
to see one thing and in facts see another, they become disillusioned or
enraged and probably will never attend another like event. Also,
prospective students and their parents are misled by the terms and it is
impossible to determine the effects on the karate school enrollment. At
this stage of the game as we see it (KK magazine), Karate will refer to
the traditional martial arts practiced in the Karate school. The term
“tournament Karate” will be added to cover the non contact sport
competition. “Full Contact Karate will refer to the all out, no-holds
barred self-defence. And last but not least, whenever a martial arts
practitioner puts on gloves, utilizes boxing techniques along with limited
kicking techniques and has techniques governed by rules and regulations,
the term “Kickboxing” will be utilized.
Det er hvad
der blev diskuteret i starten af firserne. Bæltesystemet var allerede
dengang en etableret del af Full Contact Karate klubberne på dette
tidspunkt. Personligt forblev jeg tro mod det bæltesystem som jeg var
startet med i Danmarks første Full Contact Karate klub i 1977, selvom vi i
starten af firserne skiftede navn til Kickboxing.
I august 2000 udkom
den første bog herhjemme om kickboxing. Denne bog beskriver det originale
bæltesystem i Kickboxing (Full Contact Karate) som det var tiltænkt fra
midt i halvfjerdserne, som en vestlig udvikling af den Japanske karate.
Bogen kan dog med stort udbytte læses af enhver der ønsker at blive bedre
til Kickboxing, med eller uden bæltesystem.
Om bælter kan jeg kun sige,
at man skal huske på, at et sort bælte kun er et adgangstegn til, at man
har erhvervet nogle færdigheder så man er i stand til at undervise andre.
