Okinawan Karate: Teachers, Styles and Secret Techniques Reviews

Review by Chad Raymond:

Mark Bishop has written a geneological history of most, if not all, of existing karate styles that have their roots in Okinawa. Though his work is not sourced and footnoted as is customary in academic writing, he does indicate that his information comes from interviews with karatedo masters in Okinawa, and presumably these interviews were conducted in the masters’ native language. Since the vast majority of martial arts “history” is oral, and his book is so detailed, I find his accounts quite credible. In this book, Mark Bishop has done a good job of conveying the commonalities of all karate styles, despite the efforts by some to differentiate and mysticize them. Bishop should also be commended for debunking the frequently told myth that martial arts began in Okinawa when weaponless peasants developed fighting techniques to counter the aggression of Japanese samurai. He also presents his interview subjects as real people — some of the karate masters he interviewed struck him as slightly bombastic or secretive, while others came across as humble and eager teachers. Instead of editing these impressions out he includes them.This is not the book for people with little or no experience in the martial arts looking for a guidebook so they can learn how to win bar fights. The book is most valuable as a historical reference.

Review by C. J. Hardman:

Mark Bishop offers us a look at karate on Okinawa. Not in the usual manner, wherein an author tries to explain techinques through pictures and words, but through descriptions of his discussions with practitioners of different styles of karate and kobudo (traditional weaponry), and descriptions of the many dojo (schools) he visited. Bishop includes photos of the places he visited and the masters he met throughout the volume, and for most schools offers lineage charts showing who the major instructors of each master were, and that teacher’s senior students. One emerges with a new awareness of and appreciation for the diversity of Okinawan Karate, both in practice and philosophy.The author breaks down the book into three major sections. The first of these is on styles and teachers of Karate directly related to Chinese Boxing (“kung fu”), such as Jukendo, Ryuei-ryu, Goju-ryu, Uechi-ryu, Pangai Noon, and Kojo-ryu. section Two is concerned with Shorin-ryu styles of karate, including Matsumura Orthodox shorin-ryu, Ishmine-ryu, Tomari-te, Shorinji-ryu, Matsubayashi-ryu, Chuba-ryu, Isshin-ryu, Shorin-ryu (shaolin), Ryukyu Shorin-ryu, Kobayashi Shorin-ryu, Kushin-ryu, Kenwa Mabuni Shiito-ryu, Shinpan Shiroma Shiito-ryu, Tozan-ryu, and Okinawan Kempo. The third section of this book delves into schools and instructors of Kobudo (traditional weaponry), includingHoshin-ryu, Yamani-ryu, Uhuchiku Kobudo, Ryukyu Kobudo, Matayoshi Kobudo, Motobu-ryu, and Bugeikan. Also included are appendixes with a map of Okinawa (detailed names of each region of the Island), a Kata (form) chart showing what kata each school of karate practices, a list and description of Kobudo weapons, and addresses of major teachers and schools in Okinawa. This is probably the best guide to different forms of Okinawan martial arts, since the author is able to include his personal observations, and not simply a collection of data from other sources.

How To Become A Lethal Weapon In 2 Weeks: What the violent attackers, street thugs, and even some martial arts schools don’t want you to know!

What the violent attackers, street thugs, and even some martial arts schools don’t want you to know!

When you’re faced with a life-threatening situation where the attacker wants to hurt you bad, every second counts!

In those deadly situations, you don’t have time for complicated fighting styles, fancy spinning kicks, or Hollywood-style stunts. Those things will get you killed for sure!

When every second counts, every second matters! That’s why this report reveals a powerful “quick to end” fighting system where…

There are no complicated moves! In fact, we only show you 12 moves so you don’t have to remember hundreds of confusing blocks and strikes! And we even break that down further… into 6 power moves! All of them are unbelievably effective, and all can be learned and mastered in only a matter of hours.

You don’t have to be quick, or coordinated, or even in good physical shape! You don’t even need any prior fighting training. All the deadly power of these moves comes from extensions of the way your body naturally moves. You already know most of these movements! We just show you what to do and when to do them. These are natural body movements that anyone (from a child to senior citizens) can use very effectively to defend themselves.

You don’t need to train constantly to become a master of this system! Most of us don’t have hours and hours to waste — we have a life! That’s why this system is designed to turn you into a deadly fighter in just two weeks – all you have to spend is a few minutes per day during those two weeks of training.

And… there are no silly customs, religious aspects, or fees! This is not martial arts where you have to bow to the master, wear expensive uniforms, pay
