- In this video, I've combined old footage to illustrate a concept from naihanchi shodan kata as it was taught in the RyuTe system by Taika Seiyu Oyata.
Traditional karate training is a process of building and maintaining foundational strength and skill.

Hello, I enjoyed your teaching very much. I am a student of Torite Jutsu, and am under the direct training of Master Tom Muncy, whom trained with Master Oyata for many years. He is also a teacher who teaches without revealing everything. I believe that this way creates a learning process which puts the emphasis on the student. Some strive for deeper understanding and some do not. We do Naihanchi Shodan almost identical, with a few small differences that I plan to look into to discover why that is the case. I have been told that great martial art is a like a cup of strong black coffee. When this Master teaches, some student will have strength and will to practice and slowly the Master will fill their cup with strong black coffee and one day the student becomes a Master with perhaps not a full cup yet but understands that only time, practice and the evolution of thought will fill it. Other students will see how difficult it is to become as your Master is, and will leave. They commonly begin teaching and whatever was lacking from their other training they simply added water until the cup was full. My point is many, many schools teach this watered down version which benefits no one except for the instructor's bank account. I appreciate you sharing some of your strong black coffee, and I look forward to more content to examine. 👍👍
What a fantastic way to think about it. Thanks for the thoughtful comment and welcome!
I remember once, at the end of a long seminar, we were all lined up, Taika walking down the line, discussing day's training. I must have zoned out a little when he was passing in front of me, and he popped me in the face. Not hard, just enough enough to shock me back to the present. I looked at him, he's looking into my eyes(probably to see if they had crossed! 😅) He gets this HUGE smile on his face, smacks me on the upper pec, and says, "Ha! I sorry", and continues to walk down the line! I'm standing next to our senior student, and he's just giggling. I miss those seminars! Such a learning experience!
Years ago I began studying karate. We were taught by a 3rd degree head instructor and first degree black belt. When the head instructor demonstrated sparing against the first dan, he started bouncing on his feet, throwing jabs and crosses. No karate thrust punches or back fists. The first Dan tried defending with his karate style inside and outside blocks. He was getting tagged all the time. So when it came down to fighting, our head instructor abandoned all of his karate training and used western boxing techniques instead. After that class, I quit karate, bought a book on kickboxing, and started working on a heavy bag. I never regretted it!
I believe you because experienced this too. When I received my shodan (1st degree) I was told by my instructor : Congratulations, you’re ready to begin learning (karate). If you are learning more from a book than from an instructor, you are probably right to leave that instructor.
Fascinating, my own analysis of this kata gives almost identical principles to those in this drill.
Very cool. Keep going and you’re sure to find more!
Thanks for sharing, and teaching this! You have my thanks! One question, will you teach more katas of this system? Thank you!
Absolutely - the kata are the foundation
not only a great demonstration, but your presentation style is perfect. no nonsense, but still honoring the way the oldtimers saw things. There was a wing chun guy (passed away two years ago) out in Norfolk Virginia that your presentation style reminded me of. Definitely following your channel
Appreciated - thank you.
Awesome video and very well taught. I miss Taika. I remember how personable he was. And how amazing he was.
Great video my brother
Thank you. Grateful we all had the opportunity to learn from him!
You are blessed to have that one to one with a martial arts treasure
This is interesting, thanks for sharing this 🫶
Great explanation, demonstration & techniques 🤜🤛
Thank you 👊
Great! Thank you for sharing, looking forward to more
Thank you - more to come!
I remember Sensei Seikichi Odo teaching this KATA . He was very particular on technique and application.
Nice thank you.
Ostogie with a student of Taika's for about 27 years, plus seminars, and BB testing twice with Taika.Taika always wanted us to plan several moves at a tiny. Not just 1, 2, but more like, 1-2-3-4, etc. What would it look like if the opponent took, maybe 2, or 3 steps forward, with a punch each time? I can see the hand being able to intercept, but how/ when would you integrate another leg sweep attempt? Especially if you miss the leg sweep? Could you do a video, or a short addressing an advancing opponent? Thanks!
Welcome! The most honest answer I can give you is that the 2nd an 3rd movements I demonstrate in this sequence, I've never actually needed. Yes we plan ahead for the 2nd and 3rd punch as shown here, but the reality is more like what you see in the bogu kumite sequence at the end of the video. One punch, one counter.
Discounting the old forms of any style is a massive mistake They are the books and manuals of centuries of knowledge . How do you pass motion down when there is no such thing as cameras and video? How do you hide secrets from the prying eyes of oppressors ? You create and teach forms . Everything in them is there for a reason
Thank you, I couldn’t agree more.
Sorry, but there are no secret techniques that some master kept hidden and only passed on to his best students. It’s all out there. You may have to study several martial arts to learn them, but they can all be learned. And you don’t need to spend a lifetime.
@@mischahayek3473 I wouldn’t know because I’ve never been taught secret techniques. But I’d argue all technique is hidden to a student until it reveals itself through hard training or passed on by an instructor and followed up with hard training.
@@mischahayek3473 it's all out there now on the internet in 2024
But techniques where hidden and only passed to certain students
These techniques where certainly hidden from the Japanese by the Okinawans
Just look at Japanese karate pre and post war it's ridiculous ..
@@HiddenTeachingsvery well said 👏👍 the Okinawans didn't fully pass on their techniques to the Japanese for one reason was safety of Japanese school children
And the Japanese rejected the grappling of karate they thought they didn't need it because they already had judo/Jujitsu
Just what I've gathered from my personal studies .
I never sparred Oyata because he was about killing and brutally hurting you but I was his test Dummy..and he was scary.
That's a good drill
Some similarities to Chinese Traditional Wing Chun. Effective short strike . Fighting off your opponents center line . 👍
Nice I enjoy watching your form, keep up the good work...Sifu Bryan
Thank you Sifu 🙏
never heard of this style
taika oyatas who taught us hw kickboxing champ joe lewis karate
Very interesting, thanks for the video. The applications looks too similar wing chun for me.
One of Oyata sensei’s instructors was a Chinese bushi in Okinawa named Wakinaguri
Wing Chun and Karate have the same root in Southern Chinese Kung fu White Crane
@@officialblkreign9330 thanks for the information. Some years ago, i had pratice a style called Fei Hok Phai, something like "flying crane". I notice some moviments of arms, reminds wing chun too. Have some elements from other styles, perhaps, even north styles.
how can one train in the Ryute system?

Gold dust

Hah! I made the gate on the wall behind!
