    Arrow Links & FAQs for RUMA Forum

    Below is a preliminary list of links to additional information on the Ryukyuan Unarmed Martial Arts.

    Those of you who are checking out the other Okinawan Martial Arts (OMA) Forums will notice that this list is considerably shorter than the others.

    When doing initial research I found a plethora of "official sites" for the various ryuha of the Ryukyuan Unarmed Martial Arts. Obviously, I am not in a position to judge the veracity of the claims on all of these sites.

    The 4 sites on my list were selected because I know the folks who run them and can validate their claims. I would like to do the same for everyone. So I'd ask a bit of help from each of you.

    Please provide me with the official links for each of the following ryuha (listed in no particular order) ...

    <li> Goju-ryu (main line and off-shoots)
    <li> Uechi-ryu (main line and off-shoots)
    <li> Kobayashi Shorin-ryu (main line and off-shoots)
    <li> Shobayashi Shorin-ryu (main line and off-shoots)
    <li> Matsubayashi Shorin-ryu
    <li> Matusmura Orthodox Shorin-ryu
    <li> Isshin-ryu

    As far as I know, these are the "major" Okinawan ryuha. If I've forgotten any, major or minor, no slight was intended. My knowledge is certainly not all-inclusive. Please feel free to modify this list as necessary.

    It is my intention to create as comprehensive a list as possible to refer to as a FAQ of sorts. For now, I'd like to restrain this list to ryuha only. So, for the moment, let's save URLs to western organizations and loose affiliations for another thread.

    Thanks,

    There is no "official" web page for Matsumura Seito, but here is one of the unofficial pages with credibility:

    http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Field/5699

    Completely unbiased of course. ;-)

    Dear Mr. Gray,

    What's there to be careful about?

    You're free to have differing views and my joke about being objective pointed out that there are multiple views on Matsumura out there. If you must take something away from another group, next time please express those views in a productive way (i.e., by suggesting a website you like better). If you feel compelled to warn the beguiled masses, please be fair to all by telling them precisely of what they should beware.

    I had a pleasant phone call with your teacher earlier in the week. While he and I differ on some points, we found plenty of things upon which we agree. Again, I don't have a problem if with disagreement, but please avoid casting reckless aspersions by being more specific. It's much more helpful to everyone.

    Respectfully,

    Rich Boyden

    p.s. If you want to discuss this further, let's take it offline -- my e-mail is kawatteru@yahoo.com.

    Mr. Boyden,

    No offense was meant by my comment and not trying to take anything away from anyone I have found myself (sometimes unwantingly) in the middle of the politics involving Matsumura Shorin-Ryu and have found that it is a messy place indeed. I have met allot of great people and some that I just had to agree to disagree.
    I am sorry for not stateing my reason's for my post, and after thinking about it would serve no good purpose to do so now.
    Regards,
    William D. Gray

    P.S. I would love to talk to you via e-mail about this art, not to bicker just to trade some information perhaps. Also I did not think Mr. Hunnicutt was back in town yet as he was scheduled to be in Okinawa till the 16th.

    Folks,

    I am in the process of updating this link list. Please provide links in replies to this thread. I will compile the results into a master list which will act as an FAQ/reference library for this forum.

    Shorin-Ryu Seibukan (Sukunai Hayashi, Kyan Chotoku lineage) www.seibukan.org

    Okinawan Shorinji-Ryu (Sukunai Hayashi, Kyan Chotoku lineage), Joen Nagazato's style. (Haven't found URL, but I think this justifiedly has a place in your list).


    You seemed to forget Sukunai Hayashi (Shorin-Ryu) out.
    Writing form is exactly the same that Shaolin-uses, style is also clearly a part of Okinawan karate tradition.

    Default Isshin-ryu Links

    I have noticed there is not a description or links for Isshin-ryu. Isshin-ryu was
    created by Tatsuo Shimabuku (1908-1975). He studied with Chotokyu Kyan,
    Chojun Myiagi, Choki Motobu, and Taira Shinken.

    There are many branches of Isshin-ryu, led by people who trained with Shimabuku
    at different times of his life, so there are different aspects taught by the different students of
    Shimabuku.

    I am only listing my knowledge of the sites out there, if I leave any out, please inform me, I
    would like to know. I have only listed groups that have kept ties to Okinawa.
    I have not listed in any certain order.

    Isshin-ryu World Karate Association
    Kichiro Shimabuku- 1st born son of Tatsuo Sensei.
    http://www.isshinryukarate.com/

    Okinawa Isshin-ryu Karate & Kobudo Association
    Angi Uezu- Son in law of Tatsuo Sensei. Uezu turned OIKKA over to Tsuyoshi Uechi due to
    health problems.
    http://www.oikka.com/

    Isshin-Kai
    Arcenio Advincula- 1st generation student of Tatsuo Sensei. Tatsuo Sensei nicknamed
    Advincula "Katagwa" (kataman) because of his knowledge of kata.
    http://isshin1.com/

    If I missed something, it is because my knowledge is limited.
