  • Kei Shin Kan Karate-Do Information Booklet KEI SHIN KAN KARATE - DO
    Kei Shin Kan Karate-Do Information Booklet KEI SHIN KAN KARATE - DO Background and history Kei Shin Kan Karate-Do is a Japanese form of the martial art of Karate. It arrived in Australia in 1971 and has branches in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and Tasmania. The founder of Kei Shin Kan is Master Takazawa who was given a dojo by his teacher (Master Toyama) in 1958. Master Takazawa still lives in Nagano Japan. The head of Kei Shin Kan in Australia is Shihan Uchida in Sydney. The benefits of Karate There are many benefits from studying Karate, including : Learn self-defence and how to avoid dangerous situations Improve mental discipline and patience Improve strength, fitness and flexibility Meeting and socialising with a friendly group of students. It is likely to take many years for a normal person to achieve a high standard although students may progress faster depending on their dedication to training. While it is not realistic to set a particular time-frame to achieve black belt level, it is unusual to reach this level in less than 5 years. Again, the speed of progression varies with each individual. The syllabus Much emphasis is placed on learning proper basic techniques including stances, punches and blocks. These movements form the foundation of Karate practice. Sparring is introduced gradually starting with restricted sparring such as one-step sparring. As skills improve other sparring practice is introduced including three-action sparring, hands-only sparring and eventually free sparring. Safety in sparring is paramount. All sparring is strictly non-contact and protective equipment is worn also in case of accidental contact.

  • Black Belt History and Terminology STUDY GUIDE for Black Belt Testing
    UECHIRYU BUTOKUKAITM Black Belt History and Terminology STUDY GUIDE For Black Belt Testing A Brief History of Uechiryu Karate-Do Uechiryu is purportedly based on three animals: The Tiger, Crane and Dragon The history of Uechiryu (Pronounced Way-Chee -Roo), began in Okinawa on May 5, 1877, with the birth of the founder: Kanbun Uechi. Kanbun was the oldest son of Samurai descendants Kantoku and Tsura Uechi. In 1897, Kanbun left Okinawa for China to avoid a Japanese Military conscription. He arrived in Fuchow City, Fukien Province and began his martial arts training. For the next ten years, he studied under the guidance of a Chinese Monk we know as Shushiwa. In 1907, Shushiwa encouraged Kanbun to open his own school. He eventually did in Nansoe, a day’s journey from Fuchow. Kanbun was credited with being the first Okinawan to operate a school in China. The school ran successfully for three years, then one of his students killed a neighbor in self-defense in a dispute over an irrigation matter. The incident hurt Kanbun to the point that he closed his school and returned to Okinawa. There he married, settled down as a farmer and vowed never to teach again. On June 26th, 1911, his first son Kanei Uechi was born. In 1924 Kanbun Uechi, along with many other Okinawans, left his home and went to Japan for stable employment. He arrived in Wakayama and worked as a janitor. It was here that he met a younger Okinawan Ryuyu Tomoyose. It was through this friendship that Kanbun agreed to begin teaching in a limited capacity.

  • Choki Motobu
    Choki Motobu Choki Motobu was an Okinawan karate student, teacher, and master, and was one of Tatsuo Shimabuku’s (founder of Isshinryu karate) teachers. Originally from Akahira village in Shuri, Okinawa, Motobu was the son of Lord Motobu Choshin, and enjoyed many of the privileges that came with nobility. He was said to be a loud and colorful figure, having a similar status to what American sports stars have today. Motobu, as the last of 3 sons, did not get to study his family’s te (early name for karate), so instead he embarked on his own studying under various teachers, and practiced mainly hitting makiwara, and doing other exercises such as pushing large stones to build his strength. His detractors would say that he had no formal training, and he was crude and a street fighter, but despite his size he was rather agile, and took his practice of karate seriously becoming one of Okinawa’s most prominent karate practitioners. He also became a teacher of the art he knew and taught many who later become prominent karate ka in Okinawa, such as the aforementioned Tatsuo Shimabuku, as well as Shosine Nagamine, Hironori Otsuka, and many others. Choki Motobu was an avid fan of Nai Hanchi kata. Some people said it was the only one he knew though many sources now say he also practiced Passai, Chinto, Sanchin, and Kusanku. Motobu is also given credit for bringing a lot of 2 man “kumite” into his karate, which would feature a one on one match where the participants would practice attacking each other and defending with moves from kata, more commonly known as bunkai.

    Goju Ryu Karate Do 剛 柔 流 空 手 道 宝 英 塾 Ho-Ei Juku Reference Manual Sensei Brian Hinchliffe 8th Dan Front Cover Photo; The Karate belts belong to Sensei Brian Hinchliffe 8th Dan founder of Ho-Ei Juku. The Wooden plaque ‘kanji’ written by Sensei Hokama Tetsuhiro 10th Dan – Okinawa The words read; ‘Karate ni Sente Nashi’ – ‘There is no first strike in Karate’. Acknowledgements Sensei Miyagi Chojun (1888-1953) This manual would not have been possible without significant contributions by so many people in my karate life, both teachers and students. Therefore, I would like firstly to thank my teacher, Meiyo Kancho Tada Heiji (8th Dan), founder of the Seishikan, based in Kyoto, for his endless support and guidance in karate since the 1980s. Sadly, he passed away in September 2013. I have been fortunate to have trained with and learnt from so many othersenior instructors in Goju Ryu and other karate schools, in Japan, the UK, the USA and around the world – and to all of them, I am forever indebted. As I began karate training in 1972, I have been able to train over the years with literally thousands of people as peers, students and teachers. When I began teaching karate in 1985, it was exciting to work with my own students and watch them evolve. Some of those early students are still training with me now and each one of them has helped in keeping me going through good times and bad, so I owe a massive thank you not just to my teachers, but also to those who have decided, whether for a short time, or longer, to train with the Ho-Ei Juku group.

  • Uechi-Ryu Karate-Do History
    Uechi-Ryu Karate-Do History The style of karate you will learn at this school is called Uechi –Ryu, it is derived from a form of Chinese temple fighting. It is a popular style of karate worldwide with its headquarters on the island of Okinawa, Japan – the birthplace of modern karate. Ryu (pronounced “roo”) is the Japanese word for “style” or “path”. Karate-Do (pronounced “kah rah tay doh ”) is three words: ‘kara’ meaning “empty”, ‘te’ meaning “hand” and ‘do” meaning “way”. Thus, Karate-Do means “The Way of the Empty Hand” and is a method of studying karate, which tries to make the student a better person in addition to teaching the art of self-defence. Although the original name of this Chinese system is not known, Uechi-Ryu scholars are constantly striving to uncover the history of their art. Whatever the formal name, however, the Chinese word Pangai-noon (pronounced PWANG- GAY-NOON) meaning half hard - half soft, has been used to describe the original form, and has thus been accepted as the proper name. Pangai-noon was taught in the Shoalin Temple in Southern China, and is derived from the interwoven movements of the tiger, crane and dragon. It is a specialized method of self-defence that concentrates on the use of the single-knuckle punch, spear-hand strike, pointed kick and circular block. Grandmaster Kanbun Uechi, the founder of Uechi-Ryu Karate-Do, is responsible for lifting the veil of secrecy, bringing this art out of China and into Okinawa and Japan. He was born on May 5, 1877 in Isumi, a small village in northern Okinawa.
