Syllabus
Ryukyu Kobujutsu Hozon Shinko Kai is the society for the preservation & promotion of Ryukyu martial arts.
Yuishinkai is the society for preservation & promotion for mainly Karate-jutsu and Taijutsu.
These societies are independent of each other, but they are inseparable in mental & technical aspects.
Guidance philosophy
We must keep the importance of training in mind as human education that "The Ultimate purpose of Bujutsu is cultivation of the Kokoro".
The authorized instructors must keep own training constantly and give guidance with good balance between mind & technique.
Kata
Ryukyu Kobujutsu Hozon Shinko Kai preserves more than 40 weapons kata which consist of eight types of weapons.
Yuishinkai preserves 41 karate kata which consist of Shuri-te, Tomari-te, Naha-te and Aragaki-te, and also other study kata innovated by old masters.
All of those preserved kata are traditional. These are the footprints of old masters.
Learn by own body and understand properly the meanings of defending & attacking movements & orders in each kata.
Taijutsu
It is a training method to learn the principle of Sabaki, Hazushi (escaping from grasping), Kuzushi (breaking opponent's balance) and so on with highlighting its purpose and mechanism.
These are basic elements of self-defense, weapons techniques and forms the backbone of all martial arts.
