Polls show that people have the misconception that karate lengthens
one's life, when in fact the data shows the opposite (via analysis
of over one hundred 8th dans in the East & West). If we notice
a truth in the data in art that seeks enlightenment, be it good or
bad, it should be discussed & hopefully the results will lead
to better outcomes for elite karate-ka in the decades to come. We
examine the central topic of longevity & karate by using
instructor lifespan data, a review of medical diagnostics &
research, longevity research encompassing sports physiology, karate
psychology and behaviour patterns which has shown to be tied to
longevity. We also discuss some interesting statements on the topic
by passed masters such as Itosu of the 1800s, Shito-ryu's Mabuni,
Asai of Shotokan who openly stated health may not go hand-in-hand
with budo. Despite the fact that karate provides many upsides for
its practitioners, why does it appear to reduce lifespan & what
can be done about it?
