00:00PTV Sports is back!

00:04Joining us in the studio is engineer SL Bonaquino,

00:08the newly elected deputy president of the Asia-Pacific Chitoryu Karate Federation

00:15and sensei Frank Martin Honorado,

00:18one of the coaches of PKL El Tigre Pilipinas

00:21and head coach instructor of PKL Cavite.

00:26Good morning and welcome to PTV Sports.

00:29Good morning.

00:32How did Chitoryu start?

00:35Can you tell us how it originated?

00:39Chitoryu is a style of karate.

00:42There are so many styles of karate,

00:46but the major is Chitoryu, Shotokan, Wadoryu, and Shurin, Gojuryu.

00:54PKL El Tigre Pilipinas is composed of different styles.

01:00We have teams from Shotokan, Chitoryu,

01:05but the major style of PKL is Chitoryu Karate.

01:10It originated from Japan by the Mabuni family in the 1930s.

01:19Until now, the development of Chitoryu Karate is ongoing.

01:24By the way, we are the accredited branch here in the Philippines for the Yoshokan,

01:31or the main family of Chitoryu in Japan.

01:36Actually, Soke Mabuni came here twice or thrice.

01:42The last time was in March.

01:44He conducted seminars and done examinations.

01:50Engineer and Sensei, there are so many styles of karate,

01:56but what makes Chitoryu different from other styles?

02:00Chitoryu is just a balance,

02:06like other styles that focus more on power.

02:10In Chitoryu, it's like meditation.

02:14There's time for power, time for relaxation,

02:18more on breathing.

02:19The muscles should not be stressed.

02:24We're not only focusing on power, but also on techniques.

02:29But let us clarify that all styles are good.

02:33It depends on the player where he can adapt to the style.

02:38For our case, we easily adapted to the Chitoryu style,

02:42but for other styles, they're all okay.

02:45I'm also curious, why P-K-L-L-T-G-R-R?

02:51Because it's aggressive.

02:52Chitoryu is a balance for those who don't know.

02:58If you notice, the logo of P-K-L-L-T-G-R-R is a tiger.

03:03We're also following the character of the tiger.

03:07Of course, it's tame.

03:09It's quiet when no one bullies it.

03:13But once there's an attacker, that's when they'll use the karate style.

03:17There's the do.

03:18There's the discipline.

03:19They only use this for self-defense, the karate techniques.

03:23Once provoked, they're out there to defend themselves.

03:28Let's talk about your accomplishment here at the 16th Asia Pacific Chitoryu Karate Championship.

03:34You faced a lot of challenges.

03:36Can you tell us more about this tournament?

03:39The 16th APSKF was last week, November 27 to December 2 in Singapore.

03:50We sent 60 players there.

03:56We gathered 3 golds, 4 silvers, and 17 bronzes.

04:00It was attended by 27 countries, including the powerhouse countries like Japan, Kazakhstan, and Indonesia.

04:10We competed there.

04:14Eventually, we were able to participate in that event.

04:21We're not far from other countries.

04:24Other countries send national players from their countries.

04:28It's a big opportunity for the players of the PIKL and TIGRE Philippines

04:33that they were able to compete for those national players.

04:38Ma'am, just a quick follow-up.

04:40These 60 athletes who competed, do they have an age category?

04:45Can you tell us more?

04:46Yes.

04:47As young as 8 years old,

04:51there are Kata and Kumite.

04:53Up to over 60 years old,

04:57master veterans.

04:58Actually, for the veterans,

04:59we gathered gold medals from the Philippines for the veterans, 60 and above.

05:05Then for the 49 to 50,

05:09bronze,

05:10and also the other one,

05:15the lower one.

05:17Three veteran players got our medals.

05:20And then the others,

05:21like what Sensei Frank mentioned,

05:23three golds, four silvers, and 20 bronze medals.

05:29Wow.

05:30We're really afraid of medals.

05:32We're really afraid of awards.

05:34Given this,

05:35definitely,

05:36Karate, though, in general,

05:38we are doing very well in the international landscape.

05:41But with your organization or with your federation,

05:45what are the programs that you have right now

05:48in order to support our developmental athletes?

05:53Okay.

05:55Programs like,

05:56we have plans.

05:59We conduct seminars.

06:01Actually, we invite other Senseis.

06:05We go to Japan to attend the seminar.

06:10And then we share it with the Senseis here,

06:13and likewise with their students,

06:16so that we can progress or level up our Karate.

06:21And then this coming December,

06:24we will also have our 30th Annual KIAA Congress,

06:31wherein all the black belts are gathered here

06:34to share their talents, techniques.

06:37It's like a seminar.

06:39And then at the same time,

06:40we discuss activities for the whole year.

06:45So for 2025,

06:48we will also have activities.

06:50Yes.

06:51So that it's really scheduled.

06:53Because usually,

06:54every month,

06:55we have tournaments

06:56hosted by different branches.

06:59Sometimes, it's even simultaneous.

07:01That's why we really need time management.

07:04There.

07:05So it's scheduled for the whole year.

07:07And then we also have Japanese Masters who are invited here

07:13to level up,

07:15to skill up the Karate techniques

07:17of the PQL El Tigre Filipinas players.

07:20It's nice to know that as early as now,

07:23at the end of the year,

07:24you already have your calendar.

07:27In terms of events,

07:29is this for both local and international events?

07:33Yes.

07:34Because like the next,

07:37World Shidoryu Karate Do Federation,

07:40so that would be on scheduled September of 2026.

07:44So based from that,

07:46we already have activities that are lined up

07:48in preparation for that international tournament.

07:51And then the next 17th,

07:53Asia Pacific,

07:54that would be on 2027.

07:57So everything is already programmed based on our international target.

08:02Aside from that,

08:03there are also friendship games with other countries.

08:07And then sometimes,

08:08they are the ones we invite to come here

08:12to compete with our tournaments here.

08:15Alright.

08:16So let's go back to the 38th KIAA.

08:20This will be held this December.

08:22What day is it?

08:23Of course, it's already December now.

08:25It is scheduled by 28th and 29th December.

08:31It's two days

08:32so that we can talk more

08:35and future plans for our organization and for karate.

08:39Speaking of future plans,

08:41what are the visions for PKL?

08:46Of course,

08:47we are also visualizing that we have more black belts

08:51because there are a lot of areas here in the Philippines

08:55that are not reachable by our black belts.

09:00So if we have more black belts,

09:02they will be the teachers and coaches for the future karatekas.

09:10They can develop as early as possible

09:13and then through constant practice with the guide of the black belts,

09:18they will be motivated and their level will increase.

09:22And they will be ready for the national and international tournaments.

09:27For those who are interested,

09:29how can they join your organization?

09:32For those who are interested,

09:34we have social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram,

09:40or website.

09:42We also have a website,

09:43Philippine Karate Do League.

09:45Just search it on Google,

09:47you will see it.

09:48Same with Facebook and Instagram,

09:51Philippine Karate Do League.

09:52Just DM or message us.

09:55In addition to that,

09:56we have a YouTube account

09:58called PHTV.

10:01We put the activities of the Philippine Karate Do League there.

10:06And also, you may contact us at

10:090917-814-4122.

10:15For those who want to join.

10:21And I'm sure a lot of people will inquire about it.

10:24But before anything else,

10:26we want to talk about your upcoming international tournament,

10:30the WSKF Championship in Japan.

10:34And the APSKF Championship,

10:37can you tell us more about this tournament?

10:40So the WSKF,

10:42it is a world championship for Shitori U.

10:46There are more countries that will join now.

10:50And of course, in Japan,

10:52the opponents are stronger.

10:54It's a powerhouse of Karate.

10:57The plans there is,

10:59we will still have qualifying events or tournaments here.

11:04So we can pick who we will send there.

11:07Of course, we will not just send,

11:10we need to really fight.

11:14That's why we will have qualifying tournaments for that.

11:17Like this latest one,

11:19we will have qualifying in the northern north area,

11:22and then at the southern area.

11:24So that we can really get the best players from the Philippines.

11:32How many athletes or karatekas are you planning to send here

11:38in the upcoming international competition in Japan?

11:40In Japan,

11:42for now, of course, we want to max out the entries.

11:45Because every country has slots.

11:48So for every category, there are only 2 slots.

11:51So it's better if we can max out that.

11:54I hope it's 50 players.

11:56But the question is the visa.

11:59Because sometimes, like the last world story,

12:03the Karate Federation Championship,

12:05the others were not able to attend

12:07because the visa was not approved in other countries.

12:12And then, it's better because more Japanese are coming here.

12:17Because it's good that your opponent is good.

12:20Because from there, you will learn the techniques they use

12:24and then check if you can apply it to yourself.

12:26And then practice.

12:28So the higher rated karatekas are our opponents

12:32with this prestigious tournament.

12:34But how ready are we?

12:36As you said, this is a level of competition.

12:39How ready are our athletes?

12:42So as early as now,

12:44our training is continuous.

12:47Every other day and weekend,

12:50when we have free time,

12:52we schedule training to continue.

12:55That's the key.

12:57Continuous training.

12:59There's no secret.

13:00There's no secret technique.

13:02Just continuous training.

13:04And because we have regular tournaments,

13:07it's one way for them to showcase their techniques

13:12and gauge their level.

13:14If it's low, they can improve.

13:17And if it's okay,

13:19more on improvement.

13:22It won't stop.

13:23As Sensei Frank said,

13:25our training is regular every week.

13:27And when the tournament is near,

13:30we have weekdays, right?

13:32After school.

13:33Because we don't want the kids to miss school.

13:37A lot of our players excel in school.

13:41They are with honors or the business stars of the school.

13:44Wow!

13:45That means they're able to manage their time well.

13:48Despite being a player,

13:50we know that when we train,

13:52it's a waste of time.

13:54Despite that, our karatekas are honor students.

13:57We make sure that they don't miss their studies.

14:02They just need proper time management

14:05and proper prioritization.

14:08I think it's also very important

14:10that the values disappear.

14:13And mental focus when it comes to an athlete's values.

14:17And it's very much exemplified

14:19because they're honors students.

14:21That's why in karate,

14:23the do means the values

14:26that they learn during the practice of martial arts.

14:32Wow!

14:33You're already an achiever

14:34when it comes to giving honor to the country.

14:36You're also an achiever in school.

14:37Yes.

14:38It's hard to cut that.

14:40Anyway, thank you very much, Engineer.

14:43And of course, Senpai.

14:44Final message.

14:45Do you have anything to say to our sports fans?

14:49So, those who are willing to join karate

14:53or any sports,

14:55you should enroll yourself into sports.

14:58It's better to enroll yourself into sports.

15:04It has a lot of benefits.

15:07It avoids stress and other activities.

15:11And of course, we'll enjoy it.

15:14And to parents,

15:17moms like me,

15:18don't hesitate to enroll your kids in karate.

15:22Some are afraid that they'll get hurt.

15:25We're already in sports karate.

15:27We're trying to minimize injuries to the players.

15:31That's why we're teaching them proper control and focus.

15:35Prioritization,

15:39school,

15:40school tasks,

15:42and then afterwards,

15:43that's the time we do the karate.

15:45And then, shout out to our good friend,

15:48Dennis Aquino,

15:49and to all PKL branches here nationwide.

15:54I already mentioned the contact info.

15:57Just visit our webpage.

16:00Sports.

16:01And now, we'll have a demonstration by members of PKL El Tigre, Philippines.

16:08Oh, let's watch that.

16:10Are we ready?

16:12It's like mini inside sports where we get to learn the sport of shutoryu karate,

16:18their style.

16:20So, what will happen in our demo for this morning?

16:26So, they will be performing katas.

16:29Karate has branches.

16:34So, in competition, we have kata and kumite.

16:37So, what they were doing is kata.

16:40So, kata means form.

16:42They show the forms that we do in karate.

16:47And every form has an application or bunkai.

16:53And if you notice, before they start, they bow.

16:59Because that's the sign of respect and courtesy for a Japanese.

17:03Because karate originated from Japan.

17:06That's why karate starts and ends with courtesy.

17:10That's one of the do's in karate.

17:12And that's all.

17:13I guess, it signifies the respect to their martial art.

17:18The humility, patience.

17:22Sensei, can you tell us more about what's happening?

17:24So, she's performing the kata nipaipu.

17:29So, you see, right?

17:31She's showcasing different techniques.

17:34There are kicks, different strikes, blockings.

17:39So, all of those movements have an application in self-defense.

17:44So, aside from teaching them the steps of kata,

17:49we also teach them the application of that kata.

17:54Or how to use it in a real-life situation.

18:00Sensei, I have a question.

18:01Go ahead, ma'am.

18:02What about the other athlete?

18:04What's the actor doing?

18:09He's performing the kata called papuren.

18:15What's that?

18:16So, papuren is one of the advanced kata for shit or you.

18:21We teach it not only to black belts.

18:25And they can also use it to compete.

18:31So, she's a black belt?

18:32Yes, ma'am.

18:33Actually, the younger one is also a black belt.

18:37But since she's below 18 years old,

18:40that's why she's a junior black belt.

18:42Because she's not an adult yet.

18:44But if she becomes 18,

18:47that's the time she will wear the plain black belt.

18:52Is she a college student?

18:54Yes.

18:55Nadine Lister?

18:56Yes, she is.

18:57She's Daniel Aquino.

18:58So, she is taking up business management.

19:01And she is one of the Dean's Listers in her school.

19:05And she has an award during the elementary and high school days.

19:13Wow, she's an achiever.

19:16Sensei, I see that every movement that they do is very snappy.

19:20There's power.

19:22Yes.

19:23Of course, we have to put power.

19:26But sometimes, we need that to attack.

19:32Of course, we need to produce power.

19:35Because when we do kata,

19:37we also imagine that we have an attacker or opponent.

19:41Imagine, imagine.

19:43Like I said, all of those movements have bunkai,

19:46or application in real life situations.

19:48So, for now, you imagine Senpai Kiyai,

19:51that someone is attacking him.

19:53So, that's why every movement he does has power.

19:58He imagines that someone is punching and kicking him.

20:02He really can defend himself, right?

20:06Yes, and that's one of the things that our coaches teach us during regular trainings.

20:11How to properly execute each move.

20:14Not just punch, but there's a proper technique.

20:17The twisting, the breathing.

20:23So that they can perform the techniques properly.

20:29For our sports fans that are interested,

20:32is there an age limit in learning karate?

20:38Or is it open for everyone?

20:41We usually accept 5 years old and above.

20:45So, if you're 40, 50 and willing to learn karate,

20:51you are welcome.

20:52So, we have a different type of teaching by age.

20:57So, for the kids, it's more of a playful way of teaching.

21:02They are more competitive.

21:04Like me, I started, I'm already working.

21:08So, I'm more on the administrative aspect.

21:12So, it's a balance, competitive and administrative.

21:17When you say administrative, it's more for?

21:20We check or analyze the needs of the players.

21:27And then, we coordinate with other organizations to provide them with these needs.

21:34Oh, teammate Meg, we can still do this.

21:37Can we?

21:38It's okay, because I have a Taekwondo background.

21:40Wow, no problem.

21:43You can still learn karate.

21:45Yes, of course.

21:46What if I don't have a background in sports?

21:49There's always a first time.

21:52As long as you're eager to learn, there's interest.

21:55There's no impossible.

21:57As long as you're willing and eager to learn.

22:00Just like your teammate.

22:02And by the way, the one who just did a demo is Serena Monique Perrion.

22:10She's also top 5 in her school in Imus Unida.

22:15What grade is she in?

22:17She's in grade 7.

22:24And she started at the age of 7 years old.

22:27For the karate world.

22:31Thank you so much, Engineer SL and of course, Sensei Frank.

22:36We will try karate.

22:38We will try Taekwondo.
