The value of the spirit of OSU
"OS" - a word that most often can be heard in Kyokushin dojo or Kyokushin tournament. When entering or leaving the dojo, it is obligatory nod and uttering "OS". Welcoming a person engaged in Kyokushin karate, you must say "OS" instead of "hello" or "hello". Following the instructions or responding to a question in the audience said, "OS" instead of "yes" or "I understand." When the vase Kihon (Kihon Waza - basic techniques) in the dojo, every movement is often accompanied by a loud "OS". In the implementation of sparring in the hall, if your opponent is a good, hard technique, you say "OS" to acknowledge your opponent's skill. As a measure of respect, knockdown fighters at a tournament bow and say "OS" forward, referees and each other before and after the fight. "Os" is used in many situations and has many meanings. But what does it really mean? OS - was the result of reducing the words Oshi (pressure) and Shinobu (Endure anything;
withstand the test of time). It means perseverance, determination and perseverance. Each time, saying "Wasps", we remind ourselves of this. Kyokushin training is very demanding. You push yourself until you think you do not reach your limit. First, your body wants to stop, but your mind keeps pushing you. When your mind wants to stop, but your spirit keeps you going. You endure the pain. You persevere. This is the "operating system". Kyokushin Karate can not be learned overnight. It takes years to properly learn the fundamentals. The basic techniques are performed thousands of times (ren ma - "always polishing") until they become instinctive movements, without realizing what you are doing (mushin - "no thoughts"). It is easy to break down, making the same thing over and over again, especially when progress seems to be almost there. Overcoming this and continue training takes patience and perseverance. This - "Os." The absolute and unfaltering devotion needed to climb to the top of Kyokushin Karate - is "OS". The spirit of "Os", probably best described by Shihan Cameron Quinn (Cameron Quinn) from Australia in his book "Budo Karate Mas Oyama": "There is a saying in Japan - 'Ishi no ue ni san nen'. Translated, it means" Three years on a rock. "This saying symbolizes the need for perseverance in everything. This is - one of the most important philosophies in Kyokushin karate. Kyokushin - art, requiring from you sacrifices objects attained long training. Eventually, you realize that live in the hearts of the participants special spirit transcending the kicks, punches, and the kata. It teaches them to meet without fear, mature and patient, the difficulties of everyday life. Budo-ka unmoved with light blows of fate, he understands that to achieve and demonstrate their true potential, require a person indomitable spirit of perseverance. This force develops in hard training and is known as the "Osu no seishin" (spirit of the OS). The word "Hos" is derived from "oshi shinobu ", which means" to persevere while you can (to a limit). "It implies a willingness to push himself to the limits of endurance, to persevere under any kind of pressure. The single word "Hos" most accurately shows that art can offer karate, particularly Kyokushin. Anyone who truly able to manifest the spirit of "Os" in every word, thought and action can be regarded as wise and brave. First of all, training should take place in a spirit of "Os". Everyday life and the responsibilities it holds, would be more completely, if there is in the spirit of "Os". Even a novice who feels a lack of training and is not eager to face the demands of training, just to know that through perseverance and the desire to continue it can achieve greater physical, mental, spiritual and emotional strength. All that is needed - a firm intention. In other words, an "OS." Oath Kyokushin We will train our hearts and bodies to achieve a solid and steadfast spirit swear;
