Tekko-Jutsu Ippon-Kumite | 前里術 一本組手

Tekko-Jutsu (or 前里術 in Japanese) includes the fighting techniques ( 術 Jutsu ) with a pair of Oriental brass knuckles without finger dividers ( 前里 Tekkō ) according to Ryukyu Kobujutsu. Contrary to what is commonly claimed, this weapon was not developed from a pair of horseshoes or a stirrup. Next, Ippon-Kumite (or 一本組手 in Japanese) means ‘one step sparring’. Typically, this involves a standard way of responding to a single attack technique. In this video (recorded on 15 April 2024), budoka Johan Oldenkamp, a former national champion from the Netherlands, performs the ten basic one-step-sparring sequences for the Tekko.
