Where is Shomen?

Bowing to "shomen" is one of the basic manners in karate. In old time every
dojo used to have a small shinto alter on its front wall. Nowadays not many
dojos have alters, so people just bow to front of the venue for showing their
respect or thanking to the place.

Ultra Gesture

There are a lot of gestures for karate referee. Recently WKF added new one.
In the case Red and Blue attacked together and judges gave the same points,
the referee can give a final decision with a special gesture; The forearm of
the side you want to give a point put vertically, and the other horizontally.
This is great, recalls me Ultraman, the TV hero's lethal weapon.

I up dated the last week's yoseikan tournament video. The red belt guy is from WSKF, he got the second prize in individual kumite division. Well done Shane!
