Budo international Martial Arts Magazine Jul.-Aug. 2014 | Page 238

Our regular contributor Salvador Herraiz, a fervent defender of a traditional kind of
karate based on an attitude in line with the dojo-kun principles, now brings us a
friendly dialectical duel with the leading representative of sporting karate, Antonio
Espinós Ortueta, the president of the World Karate Federation.
Herraiz, besides stating his own opinions, raises with Espinós a number of
topics that are being talked about behind the scenes in karate circles but are seldom
if ever dealt with openly. A fascinating exchange of views is revealed in this interview
with the man who has been working tirelessly for karate to be included in the
Olympic programme.
