IRKRS Koryu Uchinadi Kata Bunkai – Weekend course held in Hyuvinkaa, Finland
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 presentation is the fourth tape in our seminar series and highlights the December 2002 weekend course held in Hyuvinkaa, Finland.
An informal-style presentation, it begins with the instruction of Heishu waza; a unique solo drill bringing together the close-range percussion-impact tools (fist, elbow, knee, head, foot stomp etc.) commonly used in Koryu Uchinadi and concludes with its two-person practice.
Heishu waza is followed by Kaishu waza futari-geiko; a unique two-person drill, which brings together the various open and empty-handed techniques commonly used in Koryu Uchinadi.
Both of these drills are central to the fundamental curriculum of Koryu Uchinadi and are considered mandatory learning for students of this tradition.
These two complex exercises are followed by a unique two-person escape and counter drill based on joint manipulation, trapping and seizing, which underscore the fundamental use of application principles exampled in kata like Bassai, Kusanku (Kanku dai), Chinte, Niseishi (Nijushiho) & Useishi (Gojushiho).
Following this lesson is a discerning examination of important budo koto waza (martial art proverbs) by McCarthy sensei as he illustrates both the calligraphy and penetrating philosophical meanings of “Bun Bu Ryo Do”; “On Ko Chi Shin”; “Ryu Sui Saki o Kiso Wasu”; & “Do Mu Gen”.
The lecture portion concludes with McCarthy sensei providing a pragmatic explanation to the enigmatic contrast between “Do” and “Jutsu.”
Following the lecture McCarthy sensei illustrates more brutally functional application practices from Kusanku (Kanku), Chintou (Gankaku), Niseishi (Nijushiho) & Seipai.
This video concludes with Uke-waza; a three-part complex receiving drill, which links together the six fundamental “blocks” central to Koryu Uchiandi andhighlights the hidden elements of checking, bridging & trapping.
Required learning for all students of Koryu Uchinadi the uke-waza futari renzoku-geiko (two-person receiving flow drill) introduces three indispensable perspectives of training that are certain to improve your understanding of kata and its application practices.
Packed with educational value, this informal presentation is not a step-by-step “how-to” instructional video, but rather, made for those yudansha & mudansha who participated in the seminar for the purpose of reviewing what they had already learned.
Digitally produced, easy to follow, and bursting with valuable learning.
