Today I’ve created a Karateka Kreator character sheet. Some of you may be familiar with this concept from RPG tabletop or video games. I thought it could be fun for students to have a go filling out their karate attributes. It could be helpful to identify existing strengths and see where more could be done. It wasn’t easy to choose the attributes but I tried to keep it simple while covering important areas. Incidentally, Mind, Body, Spirit are the Three Battles that Sanchin kata refers to.
You can print it out or use a mark up feature on your device. Simply fill in the dots to match your level of each attribute. 5 dots would be extremely advanced, such as an Olympic athlete or master wizard, so be honest when filling it in. Nobody would ever have 5 dots in everything! It’s ok to have 1 or no dots on something too. Having empty dots leaves room for improvement. You don’t have to show anyone but you can if you want and I’d love to see some. Happy to help if anyone isn’t sure about something. I’ll do one for myself as an example. This could be a great way to set some goals for self improvement. You could also use it to create a fictional character!
