Special IUKF Member Edition Introductory Information Special IUKF Member Edition Introductory Information: Important Links for your reference: We have had quite a few website improvements and modifications since this Black Belt Test Guide IUKF edition was created. I've created the www.IUKF.net website for members and plan to update the website on a regular basis with articles, photographs and Blog entries that are relevant to Uechi-ryu. Please note that it is the responsibility of the membership to use this manual and refer to the website, for important rules relating to black belt testing rules, seminars, webinars and forum information. Also, the original BBTG paperback is highly recommended for general tips and training recommendations relating to black belt testing and also includes detailed photographs of kata, bunkai and other elements contained in the test. Order your copy by clicking this link. , Welcome to the IUKF digital Black Belt Test Guide I am very pleased to offer this newly edited and revised "Black Belt Test Guide". The Test Guide contains the International black belt testing requirements and standards that were created for the first formal black belt test held on Okinawa for a very young serviceman (me) in the spring of 1958. A history of the black belt test for Uechi practitioners is documented in the Test Guide, beginning with this first test, continuing through the present day. The IUKF Board of Directors formed a committee in 2005, for the purpose of clarifying the rules, standards and requirements found in the Test Guide, not so much to change them, but rather to help the Uechi community understand the existing standards and the range of possible interpretations regarding how a test board should be looking at a black belt candidate. Additionally, the committee will, once the first phase of their task has been completed, look at possible ways to both improve and update the IUKF international testing requirements, taking into consideration the multi-faceted specialties being explored and taught today as part of their "core" Uechi-ryu. The IUKF Board of Directors will be sending out regular Black Belt Test Guide "updates" on this and many other subjects. Chairman Henry Thom will appreciate any comments, suggestions and recommendations you may have on any IUKF subject. Sincerely, George E. Mattson, Founder IUKF and senior advisor Henry Thom, Chairman IUKF Darin Yee, President IUKF K A N B U N U E C H I K A N E I U E C H I Born May 5, 1877, Born June 26, 1911 Motobu, Izumi, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan Okinawa Prefecture, Japan Died: November 25, 1948 Died: February 21, 1991 Iejima, Okinawa Futenma Okinawa ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am especially grateful to Master Kanei Uechi and the members of the IUKF for their support and assistance in the preparation of the original test guide, published in 1988. I would also like to thank Jon Mills and Martin Dow who graciously gave their time and translating skill, to this and other association projects prior to 1988. Jon Mills additionally, for spending many hours editing the final original manuscript, adding to its technical accuracy and readability. George E. Mattson January 1, 2019 My Teacher, Ryuko Tomoyose "Cultural Living Treasure" of Okinawa IUKF Code of Conduct IUKF Code of Conduct Purpose: To insure that all members of the International Karate Federation are fully aware of their individual responsibilities, to provide guidance in helping members maintain integrity within their dojo, organization and community. Code of Conduct AS A MARTIAL ARTIST, my fundamental duty is to develop myself physically, mentally and spiritually; to keep my body honed and fit; to keep my mind strong and virtuous, and to keep my spirit commended to the time honored principles of the warrior ethos. I WILL maintain my martial arts training to the best of my ability as an example to all; I will maintain courage in the face of adversity, threat or harm; develop self- control; and be constantly mindful of the welfare of others. I will display integrity in my decisions, actions and behaviors; I will be exemplary in obeying the rules and regulations of my association. I OWE A DUTY to others as a practitioner and teacher of the martial arts. I will impart my professional teachings unbiased by personal feelings, prejudices and animosities. I will treat all people with due respect and never act officious or predacious. My professional decisions will be well-reasoned and objective, never given way to personal motives, biases or feelings. I will not compromise my teachings or the teachings of those who have come before me as I recognize that I am the product of an honorable and respected lineage. I will represent the highest ideals of the martial arts and never employ unnecessary force or violence towards any person. I RECOGNIZE my rank as a symbol of my commitment to my chosen art and I accept it as a responsibility to myself and others to be honored so long as I am true to the ethics of the martial arts. I will constantly strive to achieve these objectives and ideals and I dedicate myself to this worthy lifelong ambition so long as I am able. N O T I C E An active student is one who averages two hours training per week. TITLES OF HONOR Ranks and titles of honor are a very important element of our training and are issued based on a tradition of requirements that must be met by the student and determined by the practitioner's teacher. Judgement of when a person should be tested is based solely on the sensei's judgement and IUKF's requirements, goverened by a code of conduct and ethics that is time-tested and honor bound. Dojo "Kun" Principles of practice found in all traditional Uechi Dojo Translated by Jon Mills 10/1/1984 DOJO CONDUCT Everything in the martial arts begins and ends with courtesy. Be sure to bow when entering and leaving the dojo. During practice always follow the directions of your instructor and seniors. Whistling, gum chewing, singing and the like are improper behavior in the dojo. Make the best use of your time by refraining from casual conversation during practice. Keep busy while in the dojo. When tired, rest in a place away from the activity of others. Show respect for seniors and elders. Treat lower ranks and juniors with courtesy and compassion. Always have a clean uniform. Always act with propriety whether in or outside the dojo. PRINCIPLES OF PRACTICE The purpose of karate training is to discipline the mind and body and to master the art of self-defense. A karate practitioner should be well-mannered and modest, value courtesy, always wear decent clothing, pay attention to his speech and actions and work hard at training day and night. A karate practitioner must never call upon his strength in a quarrel, speak harshly, act roughly, or become troublesome to others. A karate practitioner must never bring shame upon himself or his school in either speech or action. A karate practitioner must never speak arrogantly, fall into laziness, or act conceitedly. He should endeavor to work diligently at training and improving himself. A karate practitioner should respect decorum and the martial arts, maintain the fine traditions of karate and contribute to society.

  • Opening Exercises for Pangai-Noon Classes Junbi Undu (Stretching)
    Pangai-Noon Origin & History Our Roots in China: Pangai-Noon is a martial art system that has evolved over many hundreds of years and represents a mingling of the Chu Gar (official martial art of the Ming Dynasty), Southern Shaolin Temple Boxing (Five fists of Fukien), Southern Mantis (Chow Gar), Okinawan Naha-Te and Shorin-Ryu (Shaolin way). The Shaolin Temple The Shaolin order dates to about 540 AD, when Boddhidarma (in Chinese - Tamo), an Indian Buddhist priest, traveled to China to see the Emperor. At that time, local Buddhist monks were translating Buddhist texts from Sanskrit to Chinese, by order of the Emperor, with the intent to allow the general populace the ability to practice this religion. Tamo traveled to the nearby Buddhist temple to meet with the monks who were translating these Buddhist texts. The temple, constructed years before in the remains of a forest that had been either cleared or burned down, was named "young forest" (in Mandarin, Shaolin - in Cantonese, Sil Lum), since at the time of temple construction, the emperor's gardeners had also planted new trees. Upon his arrival, Tamo was refused admittance to the temple, perhaps being thought an intrusive foreigner by Fang Chang, the head abbot. After being rejected by the monks, he went to a nearby cave and meditated until the monks recognized his religious prowess and admitted him. Legend has it that Tamo bored a hole through one side of the cave with his constant gaze; however, the actual accomplishment that earned his recognition may very well be lost to history.

  • 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.

  • Pangai Noon Bloodline
    Pangai Noon Bloodline When doing research for the bloodline, there was some information for Zhou Bei and Zhou Zi He but not very much. This is due to the fact that sometimes people did not want to be found, that the secret societies of that time did not want their members to be found, the names were different due to the different dialects pronunciations, and they went by several different names over their lifetime. The following information for Zhou Bei and Zhou Zi He may or may not be factual. As more information is found, the history will be updated and corrected. Zhou Bei The new system likely passed from Chow Ah Naam to Zhou Bei while both studied at the Fukien temple during the late 1800’s. Chow and Zhou are variant spellings of the same name and the two monks may have been related. Very little is known about Zhou Bei expect that he was rumored to have been an active member of one of the many secret societies that were working to restore the Ming Dynasty to power. These secret societies were conceived with a high moral standard and often espoused high religious principals. Many of the memberships of these societies were Shaolin monks. As time passed, many of the organizations turned to more secular goals and after the rise of communism, these secular organizations became the forerunners of the modern day crime syndicates know in the west as the Triads. Zhou Zi He Zhou Zi He is considered the founder of Pangai-Noon Kung-Fu. He is credited with being the person to take different styles that he learned throughout his travels and blend them together.

    =SAMPLES= ================================================= KARATEDO'S ORIGIN ----------------------------------------------------------------- Where did Ti originate? Even if Tudi was the origin of Karate, it does not minimize the role of Ti in Karatedo history. If Ti was not in Okinawa, then the name "Tudi" would never appear in Karatedo history.----------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------- KENTSU YABU (9/23/1866-8/27/1937) AND U.S.A. In 1921, Kentsu Yabu was the first person recognized as a Karatedoka in Okinawa to visit America.------------------------ When Yabu went to U.S.A., three Okinawan Karatedoka moved to the mainland of Japan within a few years. It became important to Karatedo history later. They were Choki Motobu to Osaka in 1921, Gichin Funakoshi to Tokyo in 1922, and Kanbun Uechi to Wakayama in 1924. -------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- MEISHOJUKU (明正塾) ------------------------------------------------------- Later, Kano invited Funakoshi, on behalf of "the Japanese government, to give a demonstration in the first Kobudo Taiiku Tenrankai" (Kobudo Physical Education Exhibition---May 4 to 6). In the beginning of May (I think Funakoshi arrived on the mainland of Japan in April), Funakoshi visited Gima at Meishojuku to ask for Gima’s help for a demonstration at Tokyo Joshi Koto Shihan Gakko ---------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------

  • Roots of Shotokan: Funakoshi's Original 15 Kata
    Joe Swift About The Author: Joe Swift, native of New York State (USA) has lived in Japan since 1994. He holds a dan-rank in Isshinryu Karatedo, and also currently acts as assistant instructor (3rd dan) at the Mushinkan Shoreiryu Karate Kobudo Dojo in Kanazawa, Japan. He is also a member of the International Ryukyu Karate Research Society and the Okinawa Isshinryu Karate Kobudo Association. He currently works as a translator/interpreter for the Ishikawa International Cooperation Research Centre in Kanazawa. He is also a Contributing Editor for FightingArts.com. Roots Of Shotokan: Funakoshi's Original 15 Kata Part 1- Classification & Knowledge Of Kata Introduction Gichin Funakoshi is probably the best known karate master of the early 20th century and is known by many as the "Father Of Japanese Karate." It was Funakoshi who was first selected to demonstrate his Okinawan art on mainland Japan. In Japan Funakoshi helped build the popularity of his fledgling art and helped it gain acceptance by the all important Japanese organization founded (and sanctioned by the government) to preserve and promote the martial arts and ways in Japan (the Dai Nippon Butokukai). An author of several pioneering books on karate, he was the founder Shotokan karate from which many other styles derived. When Funakoshi arrived in Japan in 1922, he originally taught a total of fifteen kata, although it has been speculated that he probably knew many more. The purpose of this article will be to introduce some of the theories on the possible origins of these kata, provide some historical testimony on them, and try and improve the overall understanding of the roots of Shotokan.

  • Breve Storia Del Karate L'isola Di Okinawa E La Nascita Del To-Te Jutsu
    Breve storia del Karate La storia del karate non è chiara. La sua origine è avvolta nel mistero (Chitose Tsuyoshi, 1898-1984, fondatore dello stile Chito-ryu) L’isola di Okinawa e la nascita del to-te jutsu L’arcipelago del Giappone si estende a destra del continente eurasiatico ed è caratterizzato dalla forma ad arco, lo strumento marziale che, insieme alla spada, caratterizzerà in maniera significativa lo spirito guerriero e filosofico delle arti marziali giapponesi. A sud del Giappone, numerose isolette sono sparpagliate a rosario nell’Oceano Pacifico; tra queste vi è Okinawa, la culla del karate. Gli ideogrammi utilizzati per scrivere Okinawa da un cinese (Liu K’iu - Ryukyu) o da un giapponese evocano la forma delle isole “come pezzi di corda di paglia che galleggiano sull’oceano” (Tokitsu 2001, p. 16; Sells p. 3). Le dimensioni dell’isola principale di Okinawa sono le seguenti: 1250 km 2 circa, un settimo della Corsica; è lunga circa 108 km, con una larghezza che varia dai 5 ai 24 Km. Il clima marino subtropicale risente della calda corrente Kuroshio, proveniente delle Filippine, che è anche la causa dei tifoni che infuriano tra marzo e settembre. Il nord dell’isola è boscoso ed è scarsamente abitato, mentre la parte sud, che ha ultimamente conosciuto un boom economico, vanta diverse città cosmopolite: capoluogo è la città di Naha, da sempre il porto commerciale più importante di Okinawa. La Naha attuale comprende la vecchia città di Naha, e i villaggi di Shuri e Tomari, famosi per essere stati i luoghi di nascita e di sviluppo del karate.

Po eni strani gre za borilno veščino z otočja Okinava, razvito proti koncu 19. stol. z združevanjem tradicionalnih okinavskih metod goloroke borbe. Po drugi strani pa se izraz karate danes, predvsem izven azijskega prostora, najpogosteje uporablja kot splošen izraz za veliko število novih različic oz. stilov (ryu), ki so se razvile na Japonskem od začetka 20. stol. dalje pod neposrednim vplivom okinavskega karateja. Eden od teh stilov je Uechi ryu, ki poleg še nekaterih velja za »najbolj okinavskega« in ima dokazan neposreden izvor na Kitajskem.

Por un lado teniendo en cuenta que el Karate Do es un arte marcial analizaremos los orígenes de las mismas, por otro y teniendo en cuenta que los maestros más influyentes en el Karate Do moderno fueron okinawenses analizaremos a modo de lectura y de forma resumida una breve historia de Okinawa y Japón, referente a su desarrollo político, económico y social. Podremos así tener una base sólida de cuando, como, porque y para que fueron creadas las artes marciales, de su evolución y poder apreciar así lo que quedan de ellas en la actualidad, sirviéndonos para reflexionar a los nuevos técnicos de la FGK hacia donde queremos enfocar nuestras enseñanzas.
