Kurzbeschreibung
This book presents the history, philosophy and techniques of one of Okinawa's most misunderstood martial arts, Ryukyu Oke Hiden Bujutsu: The Secret Royal Martial Arts. Originally passed down from generation to generation within the Royal family of Okinawa, this is a complete martial art, including weaponry and empty handed techniques. The weapons techniques include not only the classical Okinawan kobudo weapons, but also various swords, spears and halberds, whereas the empty hand techniques include not only strikes to vital areas, but also a plethora of grappling to subdue an opponent with minimal damage. The author was a student of Uehara Seikichi, the legendary heir to the art, and this book is his tribute to the late master.

Diese Arbeit ist recht interessant. Sie behandelt eine Richtung des Uchinadi, über die wenig bekannt ist, das Udundi. Nach der Lektüre wird man seine Sicht auf die Kampfkunst Okinawas wahrscheinlich korrigieren müssen, denn viele Details werden in der Standardgeschichte übergangen oder anders berichtet. Die ganze Shurite und Nahate zentrierte Darstellung verformt die Geschichte zu einer zweidimensionalen Schablone. Dass in der Tiefe noch andere Traditionen lauern, bekommt man erst mit, wenn man darauf stößt, wie im Fall des vorliegenden Buches.
Leider ist das Bildmaterial dieser Arbeit nicht sehr gelungen, weshalb ich einen Stern einbehalte.

'"The Secret Royal Martial Arts of Ryukyu"' by Matuso Sakon is one of the few monographies available on Motobu Uduni, the secret karate and kobujutsu of the royal family of the Okinawan kingdom. Henceforth, the author puts a lot of effort in giving an all-encompassing overview of the history, lineage, and techniques ' unarmed and armed ' of this secret style.
Especially, the aspect of armed combat might come as a surprise since most students of karate have certainly learned that in historical Okinawa harshly enforced laws prohibited the use of weapons and led to the development of unarmed combat systems termed karate. Moreover, the author also illustrates in text and picture that Motobu Udundi was strongly influenced by weapon techniques similar to aikiken or iaijutsu as well as by Chinese armed combat techniques and incorporated them into its curriculum. But also the illustrations of grappling as well as joint lock techniques similar to aikido might provide extensive food for thought; especially if one considers karate to be a combat system consisting only of striking and kicking techniques.
In sum, I would highly recommend "The Secret Royal Martial Arts of Ryukyu'" for reading ' not only for karateka, but also practitioners of other martial arts styles like aikido or iaido. Moreover, Matuso Sakon's book is further interesting for researchers of the history of karate. Nonetheless, a certain care concerning the accuracy of given information is definitely recommended as in all works on karate.
In terms of presentation, however, there are two major points for criticism: First, the layout of the book certainly needs some additional editing. It would improve its readability as well as the quality of its look and feel. Second, unfortunately the given pictures are of low quality. This makes discerning some the technical details very difficult if not impossible. Maybe the author decides in future to publish a second edition of his work with improved layout and pictures. This would definitely be a gain.
Nonetheless, given the uniqueness as well as richness of the provided information "The Secret Royal Martial Arts of Ryukyu'" deserves 4 stars.

Basic but exceptionally enlightening

'The secret royal martial arts of Ryukyu' is a trip in time back to the origin of karate. It appears to confirm the research and theories of Bruce D Clayton in his book 'Shotokan's secret' (which I highly recommend) where he proposes that, aside from Okinawan 'te' and Chinese 'kung fu', many forms of karate had the further origin in Japanese 'ju-jutsu' and many weapon arts. This book is not for the beginner, it is more an informative guide regarding the original form of Okinawan martial art which has been kept alive in secret. The pictures would not be of particular use to a beginner as they cannot be followed in practice without a degree of experience in similar movements. The photo's are black and white and often of poor quality and while the translation has been excellently done the book leaves you wishing that it was much more comprehensive and useable as a working textbook. However, I rated this book at five stars as there is no equivalent work (upon this school of martial art) extant currently to my knowledge, although as I mention Bruce D Clayton has done an extremely good job of coming close. This book will be a benefit to anyone practicing a style of karate derived from Shuri origins, particularly if you have sufficient experience to recognise the applications demonstrated in the photo's.
