  • Rules and Options
    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).

  • International Ryukyu Kobudo Federation
    International Ryukyu Kobudo Federation N A T I O E R N T A N L I RYUKYU F E KOBUDO N D O E R A T I Ryukyu Kobudo is the practice of martial arts weapons that developed in the Ryukyu Islands. The Ryukyu Islands are a chain of islands extending southwest from the southern end of Kyushu Island in Japan. Notable islands include Okinawa and Hama Higa Islands. The kata names originate from the Kyushu island or village where they s nd developed, or from the master that is sla u I ky credited with the kata. yu R Okinawa Short History Okinawa is the largest island in the Ryukyu Island chain. Both Japanese and Chinese settlers have been there since around 300 BC. By 1340 AD. three kingdoms exist in the Ryukyu Islands, Hokuzan, Chuzan, and Nazan. These three kingdoms are at war with each other for dominance of the island chain. It is at this time that trade begins with China. In 1393 AD. China sends a large group of people to Okinawa as part of the cultural exchange. Included in this group are monks from the Shaolin Temple. This begins the combination of Shaolin Kung Fu with Okinawan Te. In 1429 AD. The Ryukyu Islands are united under one king. The kingdom prospers due to the trade with all of Asia. In 1447 AD. King Sho Shin bans all weapons from civilians to keep the peace. This is the first “Weaponless Period”. In 1609 AD. the Satsuma clan invades the Ryukyu Islands and captures the King.

  • FILIPINO MARTIAL ARTS the Filipino Martial Arts
    Ronald A. Harris, Ph.D. FILIPINO MARTIAL ARTS The Filipino martial arts (FMA) can be called Filipino fencing, because they are methods of personal armed combat that emphasize skills in weaponry over skills in empty hands. Unarmed combat is practiced in FMA, but is traditionally studied after weaponry. This training sequence sets FMA apart from other martial arts that initiate with empty hands. Armed combat is known as Arnis, Eskrima (fencing, Spanish), and Kali. Arnis derives from the Spanish arnes meaning armor. It also comes from “harness,” referring to the battle harness worn by Filipino soldiers under Spanish command. Arnis-de-mano means “harness of hand”, referring to deft hand movements of Filipino grooms for Spanish officers. These lightning fast hand movements were native martial arts techniques in disguise. Forbidden by the Spanish to practice martial arts, defiant Filipinos retained their fighting skills in secret by hiding them in dance forms called Santikan, Sayaw, and Moro-Moro. Other etymologies have been suggested for the names of the various Filipino arts. Dueling an opponent is “to skirmish”. The Spanish term Esgrima is in the Pilipino language. Kali might be named after the Hindu Goddess of c:\mars\clio\fma 1 Ronald A. Harris, Ph.D. Destruction. Dan Inosanto says Kali is the conjunction of the first syllables of two words from the Philippine Islands Visayan language--kamot meaning “hand” and lihok meaning “motion”. Thus, Kali means “hand motion”. An etymology of the Pilipino language indicates otherwise. In the Hiligaynon dialect of the Western Visayas, the term kali means “to dig”, as with a shovel (pala).

The red color represents passion that encourages endurance to train one’s mind and body to maintain the balance of spirit and body. 4.

  • A Brief Look at Filipino Martial Arts
    A Brief Look at Filipino Martial Arts It is said that, originally, the cane was considered sacred by practitioners (Arnisadores), and therefore an arnis practitioner was expected to hit his cane at the hand or forearm of his sparring partner and not at the latter's cane. This had the advantage of being the preferred method in actual combat, referred to as "defanging the snake", that is, making the opponent drop his weapon so that he is less of a threat. However, it discouraged many would-be practitioners who found this training too painful and injury-inducing. The result was that the Filipino martial arts became in danger of dying out; in most areas of the Philippines, Japanese martial arts such as Karate and Judo were much more popular than the indigenous systems. Remy Presas' modernization of the Filipino Martial Arts refers to ancient and newer fighting training method was intended to help preserve the Filipino methods devised in the Philippines. It incorporates elements martial arts. He taught the method of hitting cane-on-cane from both Western and Eastern Martial Arts, the most popular during practice, which attracted more newcomers to the art and forms of which are known as Arnis, Eskrima and Kali. The allowed the art to be taught in the Philippines' school system. intrinsic need for self-preservation was the genesis of these "Defanging the snake" remains a principle of Modern Arnis, systems. however, and in practical application, one would typically strike the hand or arm. The technique can be used empty- Filipino Martial Arts have seen an increase in prominence due handed, where it is known as "limb destruction".

  • Kobujutsu Algemeen (Voorblad)
    Kobujutsu algemeen (voorblad) Het Ryukyu Kobujutsu (kortweg Kobujutsu) is een traditionele oosterse vechtkunst die afkomstig is van de Ryukyu eilanden archipel dat onderdeel is van Japan. Het Kobujutsu is een gewapende vechtkunst die zich richt op het trainen van een achttal houten en metalen hand wapens. Het Kobujutsu is de grootste stijl binnen het Kobudo (oude krijgskunsten) dat afkomstig is van Okinawa. Okinawa is het grootste eiland van de Ryukyu archipel. Tot het begin van de 20e eeuw waren het karate en kobujutsu (of onderdelen ervan) meer met elkaar geïntrigeerd waarbij er dus zowel gewapend en ongewapend samen getraind werd.Nadat het Karate werd geïntroduceerd in Japan werd het gewapende deel eraf gelaten, deels omdat Japan zelf een heel grote traditie had in vele wapensystemen. Vanuit deze gezamenlijke geschiedenis zijn veel parallellen binnen het Karate en Kobujutsu te vinden zoals dezelfde techniek benamingen en standen. Deze gelijkenissen zorgen ervoor dat ze elkaar aan vullen en ze eenvoudig samen te trainen zijn. De verschillende wapens waren voorheen verspreid over verschillende meester en stijlen. Het was Shinken Taira, leerling van o.a. Yabiku Moden Sensei die alle bekende wapen kata, verspreid over 8 wapens verzamelde en in een systeem onderbracht. Inoue Motokatsu werd Taira Shinken´s hoogst gegradueerde student. In augustus 1969 verkreeg hij zijn Hanshi certificaat. Dit is de hoogste lerarentitel. Inoue Motokatsu heeft alle kobujutsu kata direct onderwezen gekregen van Taira Shinken. In opdracht van Taira Shinken heeft hij het kobujutsu verder gesystematiseerd: van ieder wapen heeft hij basisvormen (kihon), basis partnerwerk (kihon kumite) en uitleg van de kata (bunkai kumite) gemaakt.
