🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- Text No.102 OSU – The Discipline That Remains There comes a point on the Kyokushin path where words lose their meaning. Explanations fall short. Motivation disappears. What remains is Osu. Osu is not a greeting. It is not tradition for tradition’s sake. It is a pedagogical tool for personal development, forged through discipline and repetition and show Respect. In Japanese, Osu is written with two kanji: 押忍 (Osu) • 押 (Oshi) – to push, to press forward • 忍 (Shinobu) – to endure, to persevere, to tolerate pain Together, they mean: To push through endurance. To continue despite pain, pressure, and discomfort. This is the essence of Osu no Seishin. Osu teaches us to give our best when conditions are not ideal. When the body hurts. When the mind resists. When quitting would be easier. In Kyokushin, we do not stop because something is uncomfortable. We stop only when the task is completed. Osu is not aggression. It is self-control under pressure. When we say Osu, we accept responsibility without complaint. We acknowledge difficulty without negotiation. We commit to effort without needing encouragement and show respect. This is why Osu is education. Not academic education—but character education. It trains patience when progress is slow. Humility when pride wants recognition. Respect for effort—our own and that of others. In training, Osu is felt in the legs that keep moving. In the breath that stays steady. In the silence when excuses are swallowed. In fighting, Osu appears when strength fades and only will remains. When there is no room for drama. Only continuation. This is why Osu does not end at the dojo door. It follows us into life. Into work. Into relationships. Into responsibility. Osu teaches us to stand firm when things become difficult. To remain present when pressure increases. To move forward without bitterness. Sosai understood this. That is why he built Kyokushin on Osu, not comfort. Not reward. Not praise. Just truth. Osu is the moment where choice disappears. Only action remains. Osu helps us persevere when giving up would be easier. It teaches us to transform the opponent’s strength into learning, respect, and self-mastery, and to go beyond our limits in the ongoing battle with ourselves. And that is why Osu is not something we say. It is something we live. Osu in the spirit of Kyokushin Hanshi Flemming Jinzen 9. Dan.

🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- Antro Solo. The Antro Solo is a three seat gas-electric hybrid prototype made entirely out of carbon fiber. This material choice allowed the graphic designers to lower the weight of the vehicle to a measly 270kg. This also allowed them to achieve phenomenal fuel efficiency and a pretty decent top speed of 87mph. All of this is impressive enough, but the Solo’s designers were not content to stop there. In order to maximize the efficiency of the vehicle, the designers installed solar panels on the roof. These solar panels store energy in the car’s batteries which can be used for short 15-25km trips. If there hasn’t been enough sun to power the batteries, each passenger’s seat comes equipped with pedals that can power the vehicles generator. If you are by yourself, or everyone gets tired, the car can switch to its small combustion engine that is capable of running on petrol or ethanol. The prototype was shown at the Budapest Museum of Transport. It was set to go into production in 2012, and was expected to cost around $20,000 dollars.
