Why? What is wrong with it?

Why do you step forward after you kick with it? You're throwing yourself in the line of fire. I will admit your naihanchin stance is good tho

​@@ryukyu-kenpoI don't wanna harp on your style because I practice a different one, I just want to understand a little better why you'd choose to land forward instead of avoiding a punch or giving distance from a kick or something

You do ask a very good question. The reason can be considered in two ways. (Remember, this is a drill) First, I want them to practice putting their body weight behind their kicks so they don't bounce back with the impact, but rather deliver as much power into the target as they can with the kick. Second, I want them to know and be able to handle what happens when they do miss the target. True, you do 'blunder' forward but this prepares them for this possibility and not to be distracted when it occurs and to be able to continue the attack or mount a defense. I hope this explains it. Normally they kick a heavy (100 kilos or more) bag or our outdoor kicking posts (that do not move). Here, they are kicking the air that does not absorb the impact.

@ryukyu-kenpo Fair enough. So let's assume for a second that the kick misses and your in a vulnerable spot for a second, what would be your next course of action? I'd love to know your input on some defense

The short answer is no. The longer is, if we do they will be Patreon videos.

Kinda confused here. What are you trying to say? Naihanchi stance is one and a half shoulders wide - max, feet are parallel on the outer sides, knees pointing to the sides, hips are tilted forward. This according to Oyata and me.

@@ryukyu-kenpo when you have toes pointed in and knees pusher out then muscles are tense. Try it. What you say is mor likely kiba dachi- horse stance. This is how we do it in Okinawa Shorin Ryu under Master Kenyu Chinen ua-cam.com/video/TJwhqFesoE4/v-deo.htmlsi=ajvXWs62GP140obE

Also naihanchi movement is under your heel not around your foot. Forward punch is actually ura ken

​@@mrantek7373 I had a reply almost completed when by the magic of my phone it disappeared! Our systems are different and I'm teaching and doing as Choki Motobu, Shigeru Nakamura, and Seiyu Oyata's ways were taught to me originally. They are my lineage for this kata and I cannot disavow what has been handed down to me. I am happy that you took the time and effort to post your thoughts on this kata. Your way is valid as much as is ours. You have your reasons, we have ours. Keep up your learning and questioning. It's good for you and the people you interact with. Under or around the foot? For us around means a sweep of the foot. We step with the foot fully on the ground, just like our cat stance where the front foot is flat on the ground.

Those were the days! Hard to get anyone interested in doing the work it takes to excel in Bogu.

My student Boaz Steigman is a Chinese Medical practitioner and supplies me with Dit da jow. The politics sucked but I'm senior to everyone except Greg Lindquist. Unlike him, I'm still in excellent shape and thanks to Oyata have developed the self-defense tactics in line with his original teachings. At this point they bear no relationship with what is being taught by those I left behind in the states. The weapon work he drilled into me looks nothing like what they claim he taught them later. I haven't filmed any of it yet. I hope to get around to it sometime in the future. There's too much I need to do before that. Hope you enjoyed the video. I don't script anything. It just comes out like it does and I have to edit some of it out! Shabbat Shalom!

@@ryukyu-kenpo when I lived in California I took Shotokan I was maybe a freshman in high school from Fred Murphy who is passed, then we moved to Kansas 40 minutes from KC and started Kempo, I think then they called it the Rengo Kai association, Tuite Jitsu and Kyushu Jitsu was the uniform patch.

You have an opinion. I'm a Jim Harrison student. Three years full contact US heavyweight champion. Retired undefeated. Thrown out of the first Top Ten full contact national for excessive contact. Banned for life from Taekwondo tournaments for excessive contact at the first national championship by Wey Sing Kim. Oh! I taught sentry removal, Individual Tactical Training to include weapons (retention, removal, and use), and what the military calls Hand to Hand Combat but nothing like that taught to "regular" troops because these were Spec ops troops for several years in the US Army. Your "street fighter" would lose his eyes then life before he even knew it! Wow! That enough bragging for you?😅

Thank you for your support! We try to present Nakamura and Oyata's kata as they were originally taught by them.

The English translation isn't doing a good job with your comment. Perhaps wording it differently would help me understand and be able to give you my best reply.

He's invested in the term. Oyata and his crowd crapped on George for no good reason after George brought Oyata into public awareness and ushered in Oyata's ability to make beaucoup bucks. Before George, Oyata was an unknown nobody. Until George talked to Black Belt magazine, they had never heard of him and it took someone of George's notoriety to get their interest in finding out about him. The rest is history.

​@ryukyu-kenpo I wouldn't go THAT far. If Taika used George to get his name out there, George was just as guilty of using photo ops with various masters to build HIS fame. Even though he only attended a few of Taika's seminars. When he started all the no touch nonsense is when Taika and the organization broke away from any association with Dillman's organization

Kata and fighting are two different aspects of the system. Fighting is NOT the purpose of Kata training. Thinking that Kata is the same as fighting is a very modern concept not supported by history. As Oyata put it to me, Kata is meant to be misunderstood. Your Master teaches you the truth of Kata and what you are doing. That is his job. What looks like a punch is not a punch, any more than a block is a block. Appearances are meant to be deceiving to the unwelcome outside observer. It is desirable for others to "monkey see, monkey do" and know no better. Let them wear themselves out physically and not be able to absorb the mental aspects of combat training. We are training for life and death combat, not 'fighting'!

In addition to my previous response, this is a training video. As such, doing it with full power and speed would destroy any value it might have. The movements would not be observable in the video. All you would see is a blur. I know. I have made that mistake. We had to redo the entire video. What a waste of time.

Glad it was helpful! We put out an update with even more details. Thank you for your comment. It helps get the algorithm to expand the reach of our videos and help others in their training.

Shavuah Tov and Purim Sameach! I look forward to meeting you! Get well soon. You will need physical therapy before we can start your lessons. But, when we do we will begin very gently without a lot of stress.

Thank you! How are you doing? Haven't heard from you in a while. I've got your uniform ready for you when you are ready to get it.

Thank you for your input. Comments get the algorithm to recommend us to other people who otherwise would be unaware of our content. So, thank you!

That was exactly why we had them! It's forever when done properly and without damaging you.

What specifically? I covered the techniques as he taught the others. That's kyushu. Consensual violence. I started teaching non-consensual violence techniques just last year. I come to the United States every once in a while. They're talking about having a seminar in the Kansas City area this year. David Altman wants Billy Wilcox and Gerald Wicklund to organize it. I'd like it to be a couple of days long.

Greetings, I was curious how he explained the “vital point” aspect to you in the early days. I started with Shiro Shintaku back in the mid 80s, just when Shiro was switching over to Oyata’s style, so he’d come do a seminar and Ko some people and that was amazing to see (I was about 14 years old). Given my youth, Oyata himself would never do anything to me, even when I requested it many times. The knowledge was so hush hush at the time, but there were those trying to explain it via Chinese medicine, or even Western medicine, etc… just curious how Master Oyata explained it himself in the days prior to the mainstream exposure. Even when I questioned Steven Stark, Greg, Jim Logue, Gary Shull, and students of Albert Geraldi, it seemed they either didn’t know how he was doing it or he simply didn’t share with them the ‘key’ to it. One of my good friends who sponsored me for the shodan test (which was just performing Naihanchi Shodan in front of Master Oyata) was Darrin Renee (RIP), one of Geraldi’s students, and he honestly said he had 0 clue about kyusho, as Geraldi never taught him. Darrin was 2nd degree at the time I met him. I was admonished more than once for even asking! And heaven forbid they see me practicing my Philippine Kali…. Even though now so many of them do it alongside their Kobudo. I was just supposed to practice the drills and not question it. So, I moved on, but never lost my respect for Oyata’s skill. As for many of his “top” students, that’s another issue. I was happy to find your posts, to hear some honest straightforward talk without the mumbo jumbo. I’d love to hear your take on it in a video, 40 mins 50 mins, this is history, it’s important. @@ryukyu-kenpo

@@drsssssssss Basically he did not believe in the "chi" nonsense. He stated that they worked on blood flow and nerve disruptions creating interruptions in the heart functioning. Almost (though not all) of the reactions you saw were faked for the audience. what he did to George Dillman the first time they met was real. Later that night I ko'd one of George's students with a forearm strike. And ended up in a book, Founders, Masters, and Leaders of American Martial Arts" published in 1985. It was a big surprise to me!

Can you elaborate on your comment?

I spent 10 years with him. What do you think he had in mind? Only Greg Lindquist spent more time with him than I did and Greg only did kata while he taught me Kumite and fighting.

Some are for training and others DO work. The Naihanchi kick to the knee is one. We didn't have a bat to demonstrate with, but what I did to Yoshi does work. I just don't show my follow-ups, normally. If I'd had the bat, I'd have shown the easy-to-do takeaway and use on the attacker. Facebook has warned me that showing some of my stuff will get me banned. Most of Oyata's kata moves (originally) were entry movements leading to the solution. His later stuff was basically crap for public consumption. Geraldi agreed with me that it was for the sake of making money. Had to add two commas!

Still no idea!

@ryukyu-kenpo I will explained it to you better if the kata is misinterpreted it can lead you over 100 mile off. Course the KATA IS LIKE A MAP READ RIGHT. YOUR RIGHT ON READ WRONG YOU DONT KNOW. KNOW WHERE YOUR AT YOUR LOST

@ryukyu-kenpo it's OK Brother

I had no ideal what was going on on the personal side I was there when oyata did a exhibition. Very good I took the spy thing as a joke sense it came from another student I was there focused on learning and history I chalked it up to knowing things beyond my rank I stay out of others disagreements. The only guy I respected some of his knowledge but don't like his attitude at all was Gorge Dillman. Still don't like his arrogant attitude. But that's another story. I had no ideal of anything going on. I am going to do my best to locate. Shehan Don Weeks I'd like to see him myself talk more latter sensi. Sometimes I'm up at strange hours. As I'm in a different sort of. Fight. Against cancer. I'm not quiting this fight. I still practice. Kyushu n trite. I. Also volunteered new cancer treatment to help others. But enough. Of that it does not control my life I am so happy to. Meet you Sensi

I hate computers. This is the third time attempting to complete this reply. The others were wiped out, the first when, basically, completed. You are an idiot. THAT'S what you got from my reply? That YOU are an idiot? I don't recall or see where I called you an idiot. I used hyperbole to get my point across regarding the speed and power that I was going to use, which was explained at the beginning of the training video. It was general not specific in nature. Yeah! A 747 at 3000 feet overhead can be a bit of a distraction. I don't eat an American diet and mine is essentially natural; so, supplements are unnecessary. "your fist connecting a half second to your opponent before your foot comes down" is covered in other videos of ours. Essential in technique execution but impossible in proper kata execution. You can't maintain your balance. "Maps"? Never heard of them. In 1976, Oyata, Sensei came to the United States. I was waiting for him when he arrived. Master Oyata gave my Dojo the name, Ryukenkan, or Academy of Ryukyu Kempo*. I was Master Oyata's first 'transfer' student. For ten years, I, daily, learned and practiced Master Oyata's Ryukyu Kempo. From three times a week to almost daily, I was in contact with him. Not a week passed that I didn't learn, personally, from Oyata, in private lessons, small group classes, or personal conversations. In 1977, Master Oyata conferred upon me a Shihan Menjo (師範 免状). Oyata promoted me to Renshi and 6th Dan Black Belt in 1984 before we traveled to a photo shoot with Black Belt Magazine. At this time, I started traveling with Master Oyata across the United States, giving seminars and interviews with him. I represented Master Oyata in Europe and the Middle East. As a result of a chance meeting during a seminar given by Master Oyata where I was assisting in the demonstrations and teaching, I was surprised a year later to find that I had been included in the book, Masters, Founders, and Leaders of American Martial Arts published in 1985. Oyata didn't call anyone an idiot. He called them "Stuping" (translation: Stupid). As far as Naihanchi Shodan, I sent you the link to Chosei Motobu (Choki Motobu's son) so you can see the differences and similarities between the way Oyata taught me and Choki Motobu's way that Master Nakamura taught it. PS. I don't know it all. I just know the way we do it. Check out Motobu's video.

Thank you, sensi. i am humbled to the core, and I apologize for playing a idiot I called myself this. I do apologize, too. You I will watch what you sent me thank you very much. I studied under Shehan Don Weeks kck ì now I live in a small town 100 miles south. Alot of good Fishing n wild life. Thank you for the free lesson in humility and being humble. I needed I thank you for this. But I do suggest lions main. Grows wild and a good food source. Well known in Japan Okinawa the east and here in America 🇺🇸 its helped me you have my complete respect I hope we can talk more some time when you have time sir thank you and may CHRIST JESUS Look after you

I've been wanting to talk to Don Weeks for years now. He was one of my favorite students and was a good instructor. Do you know how I could get in touch with him? His big mistake was listening to and trusting the snake Ted Winningham. What Oyata and his crowd did to Don was unconscionable and disgusting. Rocky Leavitt told me when I returned to Independence, Mo. for one of my seminars at Gerald Wicklund and Billy Wilcox's dojo. @@Rick-qo4iq

@ryukyu-kenpo I ŵas with Don until he moved to ĺawrence Kansas. He was looking for a larger student base .it was when he was by K. U. Medical center he had a pretty good student base I remember Rocky good man what I knew of him. I was accused of being a spy for oyata don't know what that was about. ? Accept every Thursday it was me and 2 black belts they made me promise not to say anything they would teach me one thing on my level the rest on thier level people noti ced. I'm sorry about that. That time in my life I was completely focused on my training.honestly I don't even know if shehan Don Weeks is even alive but I'm going to get on computer see if I. Can track him down last known Lawrance Kansas I will let you know one way or another I am very happy i met you Sensi. Will talk more thank you

@@ryukyu-kenpo I'm trying to locate him. I'd love to see him myself

First off, I did all four of the knee strikes. There are no leg sweeps in Oyata's versions. There are only four of these movements, no more. Only an idiot would full speed and power kick himself in the knee to show it. Secondly, I mentioned that, at the time, I had tendonitis (now gone) in my ankle. It was affecting my balance and foot movement a couple of times. This was filmed as a training video not to show off a competition quality performance. (Not that I was any good at kata competition😅!)

ua-cam.com/video/o00sWyb3380/v-deo.htmlsi=ubO3ObAsoBrGfZph

I met kyosho n Tuite

​@@Rick-qo4iq Gotcha! This video was not meant to include techniques that can be derived from the kata. I want to set up a paywall for these kinds of things. Unfortunately my tech abilities leave so much to be desired that it requires massive outside help that I'm not receiving. It's a massive undertaking that I hope to complete in my lifetime.

There are small differences in most ways of doing things. It's the way of the world!😊

Glad you enjoyed it

So nice of you

Just fatter 😅
