January 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit that you made to the page Takayuki Kubota has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Please use the sandbox for testing any edits; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing for further information. Thank you. Trusilver 00:00, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Please do not add content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to Takayuki Kubota. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. --DAJF (talk) 00:16, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

I added source - can't you read it please first? Yakudza19 (talk) 00:17, 3 January 2010 (UTC). Gimme please 30 minutes to finish editing.

Your addition to Takayuki Kubota has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. DAJF (talk) 01:46, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

You could clean that up instead of deleting, as you always did. Yakudza19 (talk) 10:10, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, but just altering a few words here and there in text copied from other sources is not acceptable. Please read the warning I posted above carefully, and take note of the bit where it says "Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing". Seriously, you will get yourself blocked if you keep doing this. --DAJF (talk) 11:56, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Then every fact will be copyvio because no matter how do you write about it - it will be the same. I'm not just altered few words, I wrote my own text, based on the source that I mentioned on the text.

No, that is not the case. As I said, just changing a few words here and there does not resolve copyright issues. If you keep readding copyright text from magazines rather than trying to fix the problems raised, I will report you. --DAJF (talk) 01:56, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

You still dindnt outline text that you think paraphrased and just deleted my own text. That's your right to report me - maybe admins will do that as third-party people. Yakudza19 (talk) 12:12, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Request reason:

As far as I see the main reason why I was blocked because of paraphrasing? But according to Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing anybody who accuses me should outline closely paraphrased sentences. As you can see here User:DAJF didn't oultine in discussion, but deleted not just what he thinks paraphrased, but also my own text, that at the current time had been left in the article as not paraphrased. Also according Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing#When is close paraphrase permitted? there might be situations of fair-use of paraphrasing. I think that situation include these 2 parapgraphs about crashed plane and hogs hunting, because there is no other written material available online, but facts are true and they proved for example in video of short biography and by representatives of Soke himself. There was no discussion, no search proves - nothing except blocking. I agree to rewrite that text - I just was busy a couple of days, or it could be done by User:DAJF already instead of deleting. So what's my point - there should be a discussion, not blocking.

Decline reason:

There is a discussion, right here on this page, right above the block notice. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:48, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Request reason:

I admit that I might made a mistake. Main reason was that I hoped somebody with priveleges (admin or patroling guy) will say their word before blocking me. I'm actively working on different articles in different languages. In the article Takayuki Kubota I found sources, books, started actors roles and many other things. So I would like to continue editing and asking for trial period - I will be more carefull next time and will ask before doing something that can be treated bad here. Yakudza19 (talk) 22:17, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Proposed edit

There will be links to sections in my talk-page of articles that I'm editing

• Takayuki Kubota (as on that state)

You must copy the entire article, then edit it, so that reviewing admins can see what you changed. You can't just edit it in parts without saving it as it was first, then the reviewing admins will not be able to see what you changed.— Dædαlus ^Contribs 11:40, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

I thought it would be more clear to edit the sections, since I'm not planing to rearrange them in article, but I'll do as you say. So I will I copy existing article and move my changes to it on my talk page. Yakudza19 (talk) 13:30, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Is my contribution enough to start new {{unblock}} request? Asking just because if I'll make too many edits in article on my talk page it would be more difficult to sync them with original article. But I can make more ofcourse. Yakudza19 (talk) 14:52, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Kubota holds the title of Sōke for his development of the Gosoku-ryū style of karate. He was a self-defense instructor for the Tokyo Police department in the 1950s where he was noted for his expertise in practical style karate. He has devoted his life to learning, creating and teaching the application of self-defense techniques to military, law enforcement and civilian personnel. He has earned black belt degrees in karate, judo, aikido, kendo and iaido. He is also the inventor and patent-holder of the Kubotan self-defense key chain.

Biography

Japan

Kumamoto

Takayuki Kubota was born on September 20, 1934 in Kumamoto, Japan in the family of Denjiro (father) and Semo (mother) Kubota. He had four brothers. Later one became a kendo (sword) master, one a master of jujitsu, one the Japanese Olympic volleyball coach. Kubotas where descendants of samurai clan which, 300 years earlier, han conquered Okinawa and banned the martial arts.

In 1939 at the age of 4, Kubota began studying martial arts under direction of his father, who was master of jujitsu and jukendo. His studying included bamboo yadi, judo, keibo-jutsu (baton) and makiwara.

During World War II, Kubota learned karate under the guidance of two Okinawans (Terada and Tokunaga) stationed in his village. They where teaching local people with basics in the martial art of 'te' (there was no name "karate" at that time in Okinawa).

Tokyo

At 13 he went to Tokyo to seek his fortune against his father's will. Upon arrival, he discovered that there was no work, and no place to stay. Fortune helped him, when he was staying in the line for food. Kubota helped the police to capture the criminals with his skill in in taiho jutsu (arresting technique). One of them (detective Karino) gave him a place to stay and helped him finish his education. Karino brought young Takayuki to the dojo of Chinese master Cai and in return, Kubota taught the policeman taiho jutsu.

Until he earned enough money he watched techniques from one of the top karate schools outside at night. When he earned enough money, he continued his formal training inside a dojo. His teacher was Kanken Toyama.

In 1947 at age of 14 he was noticed by Tokyo Police and was soon teaching hand-to-hand and baton combat to officers of Kamata Police Department; he did this for 10 years. He tested his martial arts skills by working as an agent in dangerous districts of Tokyo and being used as a one-man riot control by police. It was in this era that Gosoku-ryu's techniques were refined.

At age of 17 he opened his first karate dojo.

In 1960-1963 Kubota taught pro-wrestling techniques at Haneda dojo.

U.S. Army bases

In 1950-1959 Kubota was instructor for U.S. Army, Air Force, and Marines in kendo, karate, judo and giyokute-jitsu.

As he became famous, the U.S. military and government personnel at the American military bases stationed there invited him to teach self defense and show demonstrations. From 1958 to 1960 he taught the U.S. Military Police and other personnel at Camp Zama, Kanagawa, Japan. Also, from 1959 to 1964 he taught self-defense to the U.S. Army personnel at Kishine Barracks in Yokohama. At the same, during 1961 to 1963, he was teaching the American Personnel at Grand Heights Air Force Base in Tokyo and U.S. Air Force Police at Fuchu Air Force Base. He also worked as a bodyguard to the U.S. Ambassador to Japan. Through 1964, Kubota taught self-defense to other government personnel, including the Central Intelligence Agents at the U.S. military bases throughout Japan .

USA

On 2 August 1964, Kubota was invited by Ed Parker to give a demonstration at Parker's First Annual International Karate Tournament in Long Beach. Kubota began his demonstration with beating his own hands and feet with a sledgehammer. At the end he sparred with three of finalists of that year's black belt division, including Tonny Tulleners and Chuck Norris. The five-foot, five-inch Japanese faced each of three taller Americans. He took the three fighters on individually, and then all three at once. Norris was apparently so impressed that he later trained under Kubota. In late 1964 he permanently relocated to America. Kubota taught self-defense at the Los Angeles Police Department Academy for several years.

In 1990, he was inducted into the Black Belt Magazine's Hall of Fame as 'Weapons Instructor of the Year'.

Gosoku-ryu

Main article: Gosoku-ryu

Kubota's named his karate style Gosoku-ryu ("hard-fast style") and holds the title Sōke, meaning founder or creator.

Ranks

In the 70 years that have passed since Kubota took up the martial arts, he has made the rounds in the number of styles. The following are the martial arts in which the master holds a black belt :

• 10 dan in karate (founder of Gosoku-ryu)
• 10 dan in kubojitsu (founder)
• 6 dan in giyokute-jutsu
• 5 dan in aikido
• 5 dan in judo
• 2 dan in kendo
• jiu-jitsu
• iaido
• toshin-ryu (founder)
• taiho jutsu (arresting technique)
• shindo tsue jitsu (founder, walking cane fighting)
• kubokido (founder, meditation art)

He managed to complement his martial arts training with studies in meditation, history and other non combative aspects of the arts.

Inventions

The five and half inch plastic Kubotan key chain is Kubota's most important invention. It was designed for female Los Angeles Police Department officers. Kubota taught other law enforcement agencies including the FBI, LAPD, NYPD, LASD and the DEA. He lectured the Stanford University's football team on defense strategies. He teaches courses ranging from simple handcuffing to advanced police baton techniques using the side-handled baton (a tonfa-like weapon).
