New DVD Uchinadi Vol 1 Uchinadi, tekobushi, or tode as it is known to the Okinawans, is the very essence of karate and derives its prodigious effectiveness from sophisticated body movement, and the dynamic striking power of “atifa.” Seventy years ago it prompted the founder of the internationally famous publishing house of Kodansha to remark: “ The Ryukyuans had developed through centuries of practice the peculiar art of self-defence… known as tekobushi… A Ryukyuan expert in this deadly art could smash every bone in his victim’s body with the thrusts of his arms, as if he had struck with a giant hammer.” Demonstrated here by Toshihiro Oshiro, 7th Dan, uchinadi is karate for the connoisseur—a sophisticated art that combines elegant body dynamics with deadly force. Includes: A lecture on reactive hip striking methods, punitive blocking techniques, and the destructive ultra-short punch as well as demonstrations of Naihanchi, Pinan Shodan-Godan and Wankan.
