7 Ryukodo Belt System History from Sensei Peter Carbone: In the beginning of the Okinawate, it was common to use the belts and titles of Japanese Judo. I have been asked, on many occasions, where does my belt system come from. When I say it comes from Okinawa, they respond saying, I never saw this type of belt from any Okinawa system. If you have studied Okinawa Martial Art history, associated with the culture and traditions, this belt system is common knowledge. The Okinawa Belt and Title system is not very well known by Americans. Many have never been to Okinawa, or, have assumed things without detailed research. Those who have NOT studied Okinawa have become creative, inventing their own belt system out of ignorance. Originally, there was no belt system in the Ryukyu, prior to The Ryukyute Martial Art was strictly taught in the warrior class, from father to first born son. This is the true meaning of the kanji character Ryu, not from teacher to student. Ryukyu or Okinawa Martial Art is not Japanese. Many Okinawans wanted to segregate themselves from the Japanese Martial Art belt system, developing their own. Japanese Belt and Title System Black Belt System: 1 st degree thru 6 th degree (Sho Dan thru Roku Dan) - solid Black Belt ONLY 7 th degree and 8 th degree (Nana Dan and Hachi Dan) Red and White Belt 9 th degree and 10 th degree (Ku Dan and Ju Dan) solid Red Belt License and Title System: Renshi, Master Drill Instructor Reserved for 5 th Degree (Go Dan) and 6th Degree (Roku Dan) ONLY.

However, it was officially eliminated and replaced with Hanshi. Hanshi, literally, The fencing Master Reserved for 9 th Degree (Ku Dan) and 10 th Degree (Ju Dan) ONLY. Shihan, 4 th Degree Black Belt (Yon Dan) was the beginning of the Shihan. At this rank the individual can be called Shihan, with no official title. It does NOT represent Master. Renshi, Master Drill Instructor Reserved for 5 th Degree (Go Dan) and 6th Degree (Roku Dan) ONLY. At this Rank the individual may be eligible, but not necessarily, for the title of Renshi with NO color belt change.

Memberships Weapons Connection Society The Weapons Connection Society is the organization made up of martial artists training in Ryukodo under Sensei Peter Carbone.

All kata is authentic and unaltered, to preserve the old way and techniques found within these kata. Ryukodo is specifically comprised of; Isshinryu karate s basics, drills, empty hand and weapons kata. Weapons kata from the Oyata / Uhugusuku / Kanagusuku / Nakamoto lines Modern Arnis weapons and techniques from Professor Remy Presas Select Gojuryu kata The focus of Ryukodo is preservation of the old way of martial art; self-defense, not sport, and the understanding that weapons training came first, not the empty hand. The Ryukodo organization welcomes practitioners of all backgrounds and ages. Ryukodo is led by: Sensei Peter Carbone Hanshi Ku Dan Soke-Keizon Ryukyute Kobujutsu Hozon Budo Kyokai 9

10 Ryukyute Kobujutsu Hozon Budo Kyokai "SOCIETY FOR THE PRESERVATION OF THE ANCIENT WARRIOR ART OF OKINAWA Preserving the Old Warrior s Way At Rice Lake Martial Arts Center, we are dedicated to preserving and passing on the centuries old knowledge of martial arts training and technique unique to old style Ryukyu (Okinawan) martial arts. We offer a rare opportunity to touch the past by teaching traditional empty hand karate and weapons katas that have been preserved through the generations over hundreds of years of Ryukyu history. By being affiliated with the Ryukodo Weapons Society, we not only teach authentic Ryukyu martial arts, we have opportunities to sponsor martial arts masters from North America and Okinawa. Through the teachings of these martial arts masters, our students gain a greater understanding of the martial arts and appreciation of Okinawan cultural traditions. Also, the Ryukodo Weapons Society offers frequent travel opportunities to study the martial arts in Okinawa. What is the Ryukodo Weapons Society? Ryukodo is an acronym for Ryukyute Kobujutsu Hozon Budo Kyokai. This translates into the Hand of Ryukyu Old Warrior s Art Weapons Preservation Society. The curriculum is a compilation of traditional empty hand karate kata, weapons kata from Uhugusuku & Kanagusuku Samurai warriors, and modern arnis (stick fighting) from the Philippians. Ryukyu Martial Arts The Original Mixed Martial Arts At the beginning of history, the development of the martial arts began in Mesopotamia or modern day Iraq. As time passed, the study of martial arts began to radiate outward. As it traveled to different regions of the Middle and Far East, it continued to develop and more knowledge and technique was added to and refined by the inhabitants of each new regions it traveled to. From the Middle East, the martial arts traveled eastward by the way of the Silk Road through India, into China, and eventually to the Ryukyu Islands, today s Okinawa. At the same time, the study of the martial arts traveled south and east through Malaysia and the Philippians, and again ended up in Okinawa. Because of Okinawa s geographical position, old style Ryukyu martial arts was the original mixed martial art, being the off spring of all Middle and Far East martial arts cultures. Touching History The old style Ryukyu martial art is much more sophisticated than today s standard blocking, kicking and punching arts. Historically, the high class martial art known as Ryukyute or the Ryukyu hand stemmed from the Ryukyu kingdom s Samurai warriors of the Shuri Castle. This knowledge was strictly handed down from father to the first born son in the Ryukyu Samurai warrior class. No 10

11 one else!! Much of the Ryukodo Weapons Society curriculum comes from two renowned Samurai families, the Uhugusuku and Kanagusuku Samurai. Uhugusuku was the Ryukyu king s personal body guard. Our education is unique and very special and does not come from the conventional popular styles of today, having been designed strictly for the elite warriors of the Ryukyu royal family s personal body guards and protectors of Shuri Castle. Some history from Sensei Peter Carbone An Okinawa Masters meeting took place in The subject was brought up about Okinawa Ryu styles. It was unanimous, everyone agreed, 100%, All Masters were a different part of the same puzzle and none were better than another, and called Uchinadi. Uchinadi was the accepted name after The Ryu system was designed for the purpose of establishing styles for marketing to the Americans in Okinawa post WWII. The Ryukyute was prior to 1879; ALL true Military Art technicians were called Ryukyute, the Hand of Ryukyu. This represented a high class Military Art, strictly in the Ryukyu Warrior s Family, taught to the first born son. Ryukyute was designed for the sole purpose of Military Art, the study and training for combat war and NOT sport karate. Today s Karate has physical training with very little study of what they don t understand, WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get). RYUKODO, the old way is the best way. According to the education I received from many Okinawa Masters, books from the Okinawa Prefecture Board of Education, Martial Art historians and traveling to Okinawa: Uchina, is the Hogan language for Okinawa. Chu, is the Hogan for people. However, there is really no language as the Okinawan language. It is compared with Ebonics, or slang with many dialects. It is a dialects blend of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese, and other countries Okinawa had trade with. It can be called a developed island language with many dialects, or Hogan. Okinawa, Rope in the Sea. Oki, meaning the open sea and Nawa, meaning rope or twine. The Ryukyuan Kingdom consisted of 160 islands, but only 48 were inhabited, some people say 40. Ryukyu is the name of Okinawa prior to The Japanese officially renamed the island to Okinawa and changed their flag. There have been three flags that, historically, designated the island. In the beginning of human history, the martial art began in Mesopotamia, today s Iraq. As the martial art progressed, traveling Eastward, by way of the silk road through India into China ending in Okinawa. This is the basic understanding of Okinawa Martial Art historians. At the same time, it was also developing and traveling south and east through Malaysia and the Philippines, ending in Okinawa. Therefore, old style Ryukyu Martial Art was mixed martial art and more sophisticated than today s blocking, kicking and punching arts. 11

12 The blocking, kicking and punching arts were developed by the people and was called Uchinadi, or Okinawa Hand. The highly developed study of the Ryukyute was discontinued in April of With the occupation of the US Military, after WWII, the Okinawate Masters developed the Ryu system for marketing to the Americans. Originally, the martial art in Okinawa did not come from the Uchinachu and was called Uchinadi. That came about later in history with the annexation of the Ryukyuan kingdom by Japan. The high class martial art, Ryukyute, or Ryukyu Hand, was strictly taught from father to first born son in the warrior class, not teacher to student. So the character Ryu, representing a style, actually does not apply. If you back up in history, all the original Ryukyute martial art stemmed from the Shuri Castle Gusuku (Samurai). Strictly dealing historically, with the Ryukyute, before any martial art came to the island they had one technique that was developed independent of outside influence, the devastating punch with the development and use of the Makiwara. However, that subject is another story. All the Kings of the Ryukyu were approved as King by the Emperor of China. The Chibana Castle ruins are where Uhugusuku lived, the Okinawa King's personal body guard. The Ryukyute Weapons Preservation Society education comes from the Uhugusuku and Kanagusuku Samurai. It is unique and does not come from the conventional popular styles of today. Historically, it was designed strictly for the elite Family members who were the personal body guard of the Kings and the protection of the Shuri Castle. The 4 Families that were blood related that came from the Chibana Castle: Uhugusuku, Nakamoto, Mabuni, and Hokama. Ryukyu Kingdom Flag until 1875 Ryukyu Kingdom Flag Current Okinawa Flag 12
