IRKRS Koryu Uchinadi Yamane Ryu Bojutsu
Koryu Uchinadi Vol.3 Yamane-Ryu Bojutsu
By Patrick McCarthy – International Ryukyu Karate Research Society
Before the advent of modern Karate, there existed a remarkable martial arts in Okinawa referred to as Ryukyu Kempo Toudi-Jutsu.
Simplifed for the purpose being put into Okinawa's turn-of-the-century school system to build robust bodies and militaristic mentalities, in support of Japan's escalating war machine, Ryukyu Kempo Toudi-Jutsu ultimately became influenced by Japanese Budo culture which transformed the revised practice into a sport and cultural recreation.
Koryu Uchinadi Kempo-Jutsu is a unique collection & functional re-interpretation of old-school tegumi grappling drills & those embryonic Fujian-based quanfa practices once secretly cultivated before the development of the modern tradition.
Re-systematized into a cohesive & completely application-based study, it came about as a result of researcher, author and master instructor, Patrick McCarthy, fusing together the principal teachings from many of this tradition's most celebrated pioneers.
Having studied the art since childhood, Patrick McCarthy is one of the few non-Japanese master-level instructors regularly invited to teach kata application, pressure point theory and the history of traditional Karate all over the world.
A former world karate champion, a published re-searcher and a professional teacher, McCarthy Hanshi spend years in Japan researching and developing a simple yet effective way through which to teach the functional application principles of kata.
This video on bojutsu introduces the learner to the four ritualized patterns of development employed by Oshiro-ha Yamaneryu kobudo.
These fundamental exercises represent the foundation necessary in preparing to study Shuji, Sakugawa, Yonekawa, Shirotaru, Chinen Shikiyanaka & Pechin Kumibo.
Viewed from various angles, this tape includes 1. Fundamental postures 2. Blocking, trapping & deflecting 3.Swinging, grip changes, bo manipulation & body movement & 4. Koryu no Kon (representing the principal methods of impact & composite fighting techniques of Oshiro-ha Bojutsu.)
This film represents a completely systematized methodology through which fundamental skills can be effectively learned regardless of kobudo/bojutsu style.
In comparing the content of this video with other styles it will become immediately apparent that there is a significant difference between modern kobudo and that of Oshiro-ha Yamaneryu.
While an entire dissertation might better illuminate the obscurity surrounding this phenomenon, a simple explanation tells us that such differences came about largely due to kobudo unfolding alongside modern karate.
In the same way that old-school Okinawan karate conformed to the powerful forces of Japanese-ness, so too was modern kobudo similarly influenced.
Introduced to the mainland of pre-war Japan during an era of radical military escalation, the original practice & purpose of karate & kobudo took on characteristics uniquely Japanese and have, for the most part, remained that way.
