However， karate had already achieved widespread popularity， with approximately 130 million practitioners worldwide. As a Japanese martial art， its international spread is a source of pride.The author began practicing Wado-ryu at age 13 and later transitioned to Shotokan-ryu. After university， he joined the Japan Karate Association (JKA) as a trainee and later became an instructor. Through his journey， he trained in various kumite formats， including JKA’s ippon-shobu， the now-defunct sanbon-shobu， and protector kumite.Spending more than half the year abroad teaching karate， the author experienced firsthand how many foreign practitioners are drawn not just to the sport aspect but to karate-doーthe spiritual and philosophical path of traditional Japanese martial arts. Their deep interest in kata and commitment to long-term practice greatly inspired him.His perspective further expanded through his role in a martial arts film， which offered real-world insight into combat beyond dojo training.
