Kupplung bei VW up defekt?
Beim circa zehn Jahre alten VW up meiner Tochter ist heute zum zweiten Mal dieses Problem aufgetaucht.
Die Gänge beziehungsweise der erste Gang lassen sich nicht einlegen, auch wenn die Kupplung getreten wird. Das Problem konnte heute und vor einigen Wochen dadurch gelöst werden, dass der Motor mehrmals wieder ausgeschaltet wurde, und dann eine andere Person die Kupplung getreten und die Gänge eingelegt hat, nachdem vorher im ausgeschalteten Motor die Gänge bewegt wurden.
Ich vermute, dass die Kupplung defekt ist, das Kupplung Seil vielleicht auch zu lang ist oder Kupplungs Flüssigkeit fehlt? Das Auto wurde schon längere Zeit nicht mehr gewartet.
Gibt es hier eine klare Diagnose?
Karate-Jutsu and Okinawa-Karate vs. Shotokan
Is it better to stay with the Shotokan traditions or go a completely new way with traditional Okinawa Karate as Karate-Jutsu?
Our dojo in Germany was founded nearly 50 years ago. I’m training Shotokan Karate for more than 30 years, I was starting with Shito-Ryu in London.
In the dojo, our former master instructor changed about 15 years ago gradually from competitive sports Karate to Karate for self-defence. First we had a special focus on Kyusho-Jitsu, then we developed practical applications and working bunkai for our 27 Shotokan kata.
About five years ago, our former instructor left the dojo and now we are a group of five black belts who are reforming our dojo. In the last 12 months this path accelerated and we decided to leave for most part our former membership of the Karate country organisation DKV we are in.
I wanted to stay with the traditional way of splitting training in Kihon, Kata and Kumite and work on self defence variations of bunkai following our traditional kata. Our idols are Iain Abernathy, Chris Thomas, Les Bubka or Vince Morris
Now to the main question. Should we still train kata in the old European way, as a physical exercise, or change the kata to get more self-defence applications? Should we get rid of kumite exercises, which are not useful for self defence? Should we change kihon to take more into consideration real fighting than in the old European traditions?
If we are following the new path, this is conflicting with all the existing templates for training orders, kihon flows, kumite training patterns and examination regulations.
Two friends want to go for that, but I see a big risk in losing connection with the majority of karate people in our country and in drowning in work to redefine everything.
Did you have similar discussions and conflicts in your dojos, and how are you handling them?
