Striving to achieve courage, commitment and strengthening of the soul for every individual who recognizes and walks the Ryukyuan martial arts path in life. Mr. Steve Stark, Hanshi Mr. Bill Gossett, Hanshi Announcements So far, this has been an amazing year for the Ryukyu Coalition. Seibushi Stark and Koubushi Gossett have continued to spread the Old Ways of the Okinawan Life Protection Arts that they learned from Taika Oyata, to anyone wishing to be open, and expand their knowledge of Okinawa’s Martial Arts. This is the 9th issue of the Ryukyu Coalition newsletter and I feel it’s the best yet. We will be starting this issue off with the Annual Titan Games where we had some great competition for the karate-ka, to the Judo player, to wrestling. It was spirited to say the least. The next day was the seminar with special guest Seiken Takamine Hanshi from Long Island, New York. -

Punching A Medical Doctor Examines Karate-Do and Karate-Jutsu to Find Out Which System Has the Better Punch - by Chris Thomas Much has been made of the differing technical elements. And philosophical differences between nowhere is this more evident than in the budo and bujutsu. Typically, these basic punching techniques of karate-do terms are translated as "martial way" and karate-jitsu. and "martial science," respectively. The martial ways are said to focus Punch vs. Punch more on the development of moral In karate-do, the punch begins with the character. This notion has been fist on the hip and the palm facing up. well-represented by Gichin Funakoshi, The fist then drives forward to its ending who wrote, "The ultimate goal of point, centered in front of the body. As karate-do lies not in victory or defeat, the punch extends, the fist rotates to a but in the perfection of the character of palm-down position.

In contrast, the martial sciences are In karate-jutsu, the fist also begins on the said to be primarily interested in the hip with the palm facing tip. (It is functional value of the art as a method important to note that there is less of combat. This being a somewhat concern with the exact placement of the less-noble purpose, it is harder for the fist at the hip; therefore, it is sometimes martial sciences to make a case for angled slightly.)

Shoto Ryu Karate Kai Association History Rules and Grading Syllabus
SHOTO RYU KARATE KAI ASSOCIATION HISTORY, RULES & GRADING SYLLABUS Master Vivian Nash 8th Dan FOUNDER OF SHOTO RYU KARATE KAI ASSOCIATION 1931 - 2009 Viv, as he liked to be known (outside the dojo), was born in Radstock, near Bristol, but his family settled in Plymouth when he was around five years old. BOXING Viv spent much of his life practicing and studying physical activity, and fighting arts. His mother had a theatrical background and encouraged Viv to explore the rhythm and harmony of music and dance. His father, a keen amateur boxer, taught Viv to box to a high standard. It is perhaps this positive encouragement, from a very early age that put Viv on the path to become the martial arts master and perfectionist that he certainly was. Viv was successful in the Amateur Boxing Association and during two years of National Service in the Army he became Middle-weight Battalion Champion. He also boxed in fair ground booths and often said that his boxing experience underpinned the physical side of his early karate practice. ‘I fought in many competitions, winning most of them. Later I boxed in fairground booths for £3 for three rounds; in those days, I liked to fight very much. I believe that boxing certainly helped the physical side of my karate.’ However, whilst in the army he was involved in a fire accident and was badly burned, thus ending his boxing career. While in the army he served in Suez and during his off-duty hours would spend many hours in the library, reading about many different religions. -

A Short History of Shotokan Karate Karate's Origins Can Be Traced Back
A Short History of Shotokan Karate Karate’s origins can be traced back to the earliest instances of human civilization. The history of karate that is taught at Harambee Karate Club begins with the Indian Monk Bodhidharma who arrived in China sometime in the late fifth or early sixth century. After several years travel in the country he sensed that most practitioners of Buddhism in China were failing to grasp its central tenets. He settled in a cave across from the Shaolin monastery in Henan Province to show by practical demonstration the “correct” way to achieve what was so often easily misunderstood. Discovering that the monks did not have the necessary stamina to endure the physical and spiritual stresses his type of meditation required, he began instructing them in a method of conditioning that would come to be called Shorinji Kempo. Later on China replaced its civilian envoys to Okinawa with military personnel who were skilled in the arts of Chinese Kempo. Changes in the political leadership in the Ryukyu Island chain and subsequent changes in the relationship between Japan and the Ryukyus led local ch’uan fa groups and tode societies to band together in 1629 to form a united front. Out of this union came Okinawa-te that is a lineal ancestor of what we practice today called Shotokan Karate-Do. As it was fundamentally a combat art Okinawa-te was learned and practiced in secret. Indeed it was not until the end of Satsuma rule in 1875 with the Meiji Restoration that the three major styles, Naha, Shuri and Tomari named after in the cities in which they were located became visible. -

Shorin-Ryu Butokukan USA Hombu
Dear Sensei and Karateka: It is an honor to be hosting our annual Spring National Training Camp here in Williamsburg, Virginia. The format of this camp will follow our previous gasshuku and cover topics of kihon, Shorin-Ryu kata, kobudo, kumite (iri-kumi and sport kumite) and application. This is an outstanding opportunity for students of all styles of Okinawa Karate to train together and we hope this experience will create new friendships. The purpose of a gasshuku is to evaluate and strengthen the skills and curriculum areas of all members and to also create opportunities for karateka to grow. As there are no “spectators” or seniors standing on the sidelines in the dojo on Okinawa, we will hope that every participant will represent themselves, their style and their teacher by training on the floor. It is all too common for individuals to attend camps just to have picture opportunities with famous karate sensei but do very little training. I hope that everyone will push themselves and each other to complete the training with tremendous spirit and effort. We look forward to training with you and sharing knowledge at this special event! If there are any questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected] or (757-870- 0311) Camp Director, John Spence, United States Hombu-Cho, Shorin-Ryu Butokukan ジョン スペンス 北米 支部 道場 沖縄空手道小林流武徳館 Shorin-Ryu Karate of Williamsburg Proudly Presents 2018 Spring Training Camp When: April 20, 21, 22, 2018 Where: Matoaka Elementary Gymnasium, 4001 Brick Bat Road, Williamsburg, Virginia 23188 What: Camp classes will consist of kihon, Shorin-Ryu kata, kobudo, kumite (iri-kumi and sport kumite) and application.
