Koryu Uchinadi Kenpo-Jutsu
Before the advent of modern Karate, there existed a remarkable martial art in Okinawa referred to as Ryukyu Kenpo Toudi-Jutsu. Simplified for the purpose being put into Okinawa’s turn-of-the-century school system to build robust bodies and militaristic mentalities in support of Japan’s escalating war machine. Ryukyu Kempo Toudi-jutsu ultimately be came influenced by Japanese Budo culture which transformed the revised practice into a sport and cultural recreation.
Koryu-Uchinadi Kenpo-Jutsu is a unique collection & functional re-interpretation of old school Tegumi grappling drills & those embryonic Fujian-based quanfa practices once secretly cultivated
before the development of the modern tradition. Re-systematized into a cohesive & completely application-based study. It came about as a result of researcher, author and master instructor Patrick Mc Carthy fusing together the principal teachings from many of this tradition’s most celebrated pioneers.
Koryu-Uchinadi Kenpo Jutsu revives many lost and functional practices while honouring the legacy of Matsumura Sokon, Itosu Ankoh, Kojo Tatie, Aragaki Seisho, Chinen Sanda, Xie Zhongxiang, Higaonna Kanryu, Hanashiro Chomo, Motobu Choki, Zhou Zhihe, Wu Xiangui, Tang Daiji, Kiyoda Juhatsu, Miao Xing, Oshiro Chojo, Richard Kim and Kinjo Hiroshi.
Koryu-Uchinadi Kenpo-Jutsu is also a provocative alternative to conventional methods of physical fitness and stress management. Learning how to respond dispassionately to un-warranted aggression requires self-empowerment. Such training promotes an inner calm and, where conflict exists, helps restore balance to personal and professional relationships.
