Ryukyu Ancient Martial Arts -Wikipedia

Ryukyu ancient martial arts (Ryukyukobujutsu) is a general term for old -fashioned martial arts in Okinawa. Sometimes karate is included, but generally mainly refers to weapon techniques. It is also called Ryukyu Kobudo, Okinawa Kobudo, and Okinawan martial arts. Most schools and factions also have karate in addition to weapons.

In Okinawa, various weapon techniques have been played mainly in the Ryukyu Kingdom (Ryukyu Country) era, mainly in the Shuri and Naha people. Masafumi “Koyo” (1743-45) stated in the 17th century that “there is a spear stick”, and it can be seen that spear art and stick art are practiced among the Ryukyuans even after the Satsuma clothing. ^[first] 。 One of the widely known theories is that Ryukyu has no weapons due to the prohibition policy, so the karate (karate) of the gap (karate) has developed, but in reality, even after Satsuma clothing, Ryukyu. The tribes are not banned from possession of weapons except for guns ^[2] , These weapon techniques were continued. In fact, the karate family at that time also practiced swordsmanship, spear, sticks, bow techniques, and 釵, as well as karate, and many of these weapons are known. For example, the spear art, the master of the spear technique, the master of the swordsmanship, and the bow art of the bow art. ^[3] 。 In addition, the swordsmanship, spear techniques, and naginata on the mainland were also practiced, and the swordsmanship was often shown. In the 18th century, the indication style was handed down among Ryukyujin. ^[4] There were also Shuri tribes, such as Shuri -ri, Matsumura Souku, who trained in Satsuma over Satsuma.

On the other hand, even in Naha, its own weapon techniques were handed down, mainly Kume Village. In 1867, weapon techniques such as “Iron scale”, “sticks”, “wisteria sticks”, and car sticks were shown at the welcome celebration of the books for the books for the book of King Shoyasu. It is considered to be a tinbe with a shield and a spear for the wisteria tile, and the car stick is a cyclic club.

In addition to swords, non -swords such as nunchaku and tonfa were also active. Although the history of weapon art is unknown, the theory that has developed as a hidden weapon (darker) of the tribe and many weapons used in Ryukyu martial arts, including Tinbe and Sai, are used in China and Southeast Asia. There is a theory that the shape and name are common, so it was incorporated by trade. Although it originated from common tools, it did not mean that the common people were practicing these weapons. It is the main focus on the Shuri and Naha people. However, in the stick art, there were also warriors from the commoners, such as Itoman Maggie of Itomura Village (currently Itoman City, Itoman), and Cheni -shi Kiya (currently Nanjo City), who studied under the master of the stone.

These weapon techniques are thought to have been reclaimed as well as karate after the abolished clan, but before the war, some martial artists have begun to preserve and have been preserved and inherited in some schools. First, the Yasuhisa Tengen established the Ryukyu Kobu Study Group in the early Taisho era, and his apprentice Nobunitsu Taira also established a preservation promotion society in 1940 (Showa 15). In the postwar Okinawa, the Okinawan Kobudo Association was launched in 1961 (Showa 36), led by Kiyonoku Higa, and many Kobu -municiters joined this.

There are three main types of Ryukyu ancient martial arts, which are currently handed down. The system of Nobunitsu Taira (the Ryukyu Kobu Preservation Promotion Association in the mainland of Japan, the Ryukyu Kobudo Preservation Promotion Association, the Ryukyu Kobu Preservation Association, the International Ryukyu Kobu Preservation Association, etc.), and the headquarters of Asahi (Headquarters Global Martial Arts Martial Arts) Association), Motoyoshi Makoto’s system (gold hard -rigid Karate Okinawa Kogan Martial Arts).
