Hello Zachariah,

Hello Zachariah,
I'd like to point three things out about what I posted.

This is a reply I posted on Shorin Ryuu's blog from his description of "the strongest move in Shorin Ryu". He had been searching for a way to reply to any who suggested that this move from kihon was...
Sweet! Any information you or Mr. Iha have are greatly appreciated. Maybe interview format would be best...?
Thanks, Larry. Also, I think I figured out why I haven't gotten any comments even though ever since I advertised this yesterday I've gotten about an extra 20 or so hits: turns out that the comments...
And everyone must have thought I was kidding when I first posted this a couple months ago...
I've got a blog up where I write about some of the research I've done (very little so far given...
Robert,
I hate how this sounds, but I'm going by what my instructor tells me. This would ordinarily be suspicious, except that my instructor is one of Chibana's students. I've asked him about...
I'm disinclined to believe that Chibana was a student of Motobu in the sense that Chibana trained under Motobu in a student-teacher relationship. I'm more inclined to believe that the two of them...
Hello,
I am not sure which is the appropriate form to ask this, but I'm going to go with this one. I was thinking about a writing and research project on Chibana Chosin (especially now that I...
Larry,
I don't think so. As a matter of fact, I'm not even sure if Mr. Lee or Mr. Murakami even thought of doing so.
Cheers!
Hey Rob,
More or less, I think that's it. I was confused after reading Sells's Unante and saw "Chibana-Patsai" and "Tawada-Patsai" so I asked Mr. Nakata. He indicated that the distinctions...
*smacks forehead*
Thanks, Rob, I should have been more specific. Of course the Tomari Patsai, Matsumura Patsai, and Itosu Patsai are different. I should have been more clear: Tawada-Patsai and...
Been a long time since I've posted here, but I saw this and thought I'd make some comments.
First, Pat Nakata has videos of Chibana-sensei he captured on 8mm when he returned to Okinawa in 1965;...
Am I correct in saying that Ryuei Ryu and Pangai Noon Ryu are the same thing? I understand that Ryuei Ryu used to be one organization, there was an internal scuffle, and the guys that broke away...
The Kusanku in the video clip is [Chatan or Yomitan?] Yara Kusanku. In the meantime, I've never heard of Heiku. Would someone mind explaining to me a little background behind it?
Power comes from hara, koshi, and efficiency in motion.
I'd like to qualify this by saying I'm not an instructor, and I don't run a school.
I fall into this category. My instructor gave up his wearing his rank 20 years ago, mostly in disgust (long...
First off, I'm new here, and when I saw that there was actually a forum where people talked about Ryukyu Kobudo I was pleasantly surprised.
I've been training Ryukyu Kobudo for a short time now...
