In 1983, I was introduced to Grand Master Seiyu Oyata a 10th Degree Grand Master of Ryukyu Kempo Karate Kobudo Rengo Kai. After a period of time training with Oyata Sensei, he and I talked about me joining his association. He said I was a good man he would allow me to join.  Oyata Sensei asked me how many students did I have? I advise 35. He said ask students if I / we should join the association. I did so, to my surprise the majority did not want to join. Oyata Sensei understood and said maybe next year, no problem. Following year at a seminar Oyata Sensei asks how many students? I said 40, how many from last year Oyata Sensei asked. I said 13, hmm, maybe you join Association and students follow. I did, they did.  I tell you this story because since I started to train with Oyata Sensei I have learned how to become a melting pot, cultivating what was good and eliminating the rest. Building good character, good manners, unconditional respect for yourself and others.

I teach Ryukyu Kempo – Oyata Shin Shu Ho Karate – Kobudo RyuTe® Renmei

I teach the 3 k’s Kihon (basics), Kata (forms), Kumite (bunkai, bogu occasional) 

2 notes* Oyata Sensei is to be addressed ‘ Taika’.

20 years later, Taika taped me at a seminar, looked at me several seconds,  ˝ smiled and in his flow voice, “still with me”,   

 

 

What is RyuTe®?
RyuTe®, formerly known as Ryukyu Kempo, was founded by Taika Seiyu Oyata from Okinawa. This classical form of self-protection art emphasizes natural body motion and the study of physical weakness and behavior common to everyone. This includes the study of kata (form), kyusho (vital points), tuite (grappling), low kicks and throws. It can be applied by anyone regardless of age, strength, or size.

RyuTe® is a classical system of karate reflecting the original concepts of the fighting arts of Okinawa. The techniques are those used by the ancient warriors of the Ryukyu Islands. It is these ideals that separate RyuTe® from modern and traditional forms of karate.

RyuTe® is a life protection art and is the study of a Classical Martial Art. This simply means that a person can study RyuTe® from the time they are a small child until they have grown old with age. It is a life long study of Kata and Self Defense that will not change with a person’s age.  

Training the body and mind as one is an important facet of our training. We feel we have an inherent obligation to our community and to society, so we cultivate and develop “upstanding” citizens through our specialized training. With that our students are required to respect themselves, others and life by following the school goals (Dojo Kun). They are:

  • To strive for good moral character
  • To keep an honest and sincere way
  • To cultivate perseverance or a will for striving
  • To develop a respectful attitude
  • To restrain physical ability through spiritual attainment

There are five arts or “Jutsus” that come together to form the core training practices in RyuTe®, they are:

  • GOSHIN JUTSU - The Art of Life Protection
  • TUITE JUTSU - The Art of Grappling
  • KYUSHO JUTSU - The Art of Striking Vital Points 
  • ATEMI JUTSU - The Application of Technique
  • KOBUDO JUTSU - The Art of Ancient Weapons
