The Most TRAUMATIC Ryū-te Karate

[@Chum_Kiu]

Some of this looks legit - the joint locks, specifically - but I'm getting some real bullshido vibes from these one-touch moves.

Actually I can agree. Most of this traditional styles have their potential and advantages... but this mysticism and myths around deadly techniques ruined the image of good and interesting styles.

[@trinidadraj152]

@@malmsProject It's not mysticism. Feel the technique before judging it. Feel tuite, it's a pain like no other. I've met so many practitioners of the style who understand the body at such a deeper level than the average martial artist. No magic to it, they just study the body more than most of us. Most arts can't make an armbar from standing work. Ryute can. Oyata's 3-pt armbar is the only form I've seen that works consistently regardless of size difference. They don't even call it a martial art. They call it a life protection art. So there are no claims of deadly techniques, that's literally the opposite of their philosophy. Instead they study how targeting the nerves affect the body in a no-nonsense way. Masters like Oyata could generate a lot of power through disciplined relaxation, and those strikes hurt like no other, especially aimed at parts of the body where the nerves lay close to the surface unprotected by muscle. He also had a method of skillfully sandwiching the arm, for instance, that he's hitting so that more of the force penetrates inside instead of going past the arm -- or even curve-balling the direction of the strike to where someone's balance is weak. That's why it looks like he gets people to fall down so easily. It was a science he was continually perfecting his whole life. It's the least mystical experience I've ever had training in martial arts. I'm not an expert on it, but I've felt these kinds of techniques enough to know it's real. Feel it before judging. There's honestly not a lot of material of his training methods on the internet, so you can't form a judgement from just watching some of the old demos. From what the older guys tell me, they used to have a heavy form of sparring, but it became less of Oyata's emphasis later in life. Some still do forms of sparring today though: facebook.com/HandsOfLife/videos/405840820205287 The modern training is down to earth. People don't seem to care too much about ranks anymore. You don't just do forms all day, it's mostly techniques. They'd think you're weird if you only want to do forms, actually. People just wear casual clothes and practice. Great people.

@@trinidadraj152 It's difficult to make armbars work from standing because you're not controlling the arm on both sides of the elbow joint as well as the body itself the way that you can on the ground using a wrist grip/knee pinch on the upper arm/legs across the chest. One exception to this is waki gatame in Judo where you control the wrist and the upper arm (by trapping it under your armpit), and it's your ribs that are used to hyperextend the elbow. But still not as secure as an armbar on the ground where the torso is controlled with the legs. It's simple physics/mechanics nothing to do with pressure point hocus pocus, and no the guys in this video aren't making any standing joint locks work against an actual resisting opponent.

[@trinidadraj152]

@@RueTheDay001 Like I said, you can't judge by old demos. Most of the footage here are specifically from public demonstrations that were meant a bit for show. Meet the actual people who train the stuff. See how they actually train. There's no point in trying to prove the technique through reading/watching alone. You have to feel it to make an informed judgement.

[@rogermanley9017]

Thank you for sharing this. I had studied Shorin Ryu before studying Ryu Kyu Kempo (as it was known 35 some years ago) at the headquarters in Independence, Missouri. I personally felt the very strong Chinese influence in this style. I appreciate your research into this style. Many of the philosophical principles taught to me then, remain with me to this day.

[@No4murasame]

Maybe the same person, but this reminds me of the story my late instructor told me. He was an old timer from JKA. Mr. Funajoshi’s intention in starting JKA was to have an open forum for all sorts of Karate to come together and practice together (thus no “school name”. It was a karate association, not Shotokan association or anything.). As such, practitioners/instructors from all sorts of walks came to practice back in the days. My instructor told me about this one particular instructor (I don’t remember the name), whose practice heavily involved pressure points. He recalled how always painful it was to spar with him, getting hit at very precise points. My training back then was all about knocking out or breaking skeletal structures of the opponent, and inflicting pure pain was a very foreign concept for me. I was very fascinated by the fact that such a philosophy and practice exists. Thank you for this video.

Please do one on isshinryu thanks

Good idea! Catch this style in the next video with your comment bro!

[@andrewfuller9156]

All about real-world self-defence and survival. Yet has Katas whose mysteries take years to unlock...? Do these katas need to be mastered b4 the style's self-defence benefits kick in?

[@tonyslaughter4285]

I train under a student of Master Oyata. I have 6.5 years of study under my instructor. We learned Naihanchi shodan as the first real kata. I learned it as a white belt. Then the subsequent katas as I got closer to shodan. Through study they are ingrained in your muscle memory and honed through bunkai. As you get closer to black it should take hold and if you train enough and know it past memorization it’ll flow. This art takes years to perfect but when you know it you know it.

[@rodneywilson8672]

I like this we do this in wing chun the meridian point strikes and like that this sensei believes in self defense for the streets and not sport and the different types of strikes at certain points at certain times of the day these are very deadly arts with hand conditioning makes this a very dangerous art

[@ralfhtg1056]

1:14 that man looks like Kanga Sakugawa to me. I wonder, how would you practise stress resiliance if you don't sparr? Because you need to have stress resiliance, if you want to be able to apply all that is a self defense scenario.

[@winddragonmma]

That's Gong Fu but used by Japan and kept alive! If it's called Ryu that means Dragon and I think Te means Hand. So Ryu Te literally means "Dragon Hand." That's a badass name dude!

[@EduardoRodriguez-ks4em]

Ryu-te (Japanese: 琉手, Hepburn: Ryūte) is an Okinawan martial art founded by the late Seiyu Oyata (1928-2012) (親田清勇, Oyata Seiyū). The word Ryū-te is a shortened form of Ryūkyūte (琉球手 "Ryūkyū hand"). Ryukyu is the original name of Okinawa prior to it becoming part of Japan. Before 1995, Oyata referred to his style as Ryukyu Kempo (琉球拳法),but eventually renamed it "Ryu-te" as Ryukyu Kempo was a reference to all styles originating in Okinawa rather than to any one particular style. Ryu-te emphasizes effective self-defense while deliberately minimizing the harm to the opponent. Its practitioners consider Ryu-te neither a sport nor a form of exercise, but rather a method of training the body and mind for the betterment of mankind.

How is this different from the RyuKyu Kenpo taught by George Dillman that does pressure points and claims to be Okinawan too?

George Dillman just used something to get paid. LMK what part of the UsA you are and I can see anyone who can properly show you and explain to you.
