Another found older post discussion made by Robert Oroczo
Angel Lemus This is truly an incredible story. Enjoy the read.
This was the first issue of Bugeisha, I was Marquez'
student at the time and he had just gotten back from Okinawa with tons of
knowledge, information, katas and bunkai and most fascinating the old
"karamidi: from the Ufushiku-Den system. I was actually the ghost writer
that helped Marquez sensei on this article.
Kaishu Isa is an incredible man, not only a humble
and funny character who did not hold anything back from Marquez Sensei and his
entourage, he is one hell of a knowledgeable martial artist.
I went nuts when I saw what Isa Sensei was doing, he
was so fluid, fast and took absolute control of people 2x his size and reduced
them to rubber chickens, hitting pressure points, locking them, twisting them
while all the time smirking and cracking up like if he was a little kid, and I
don;t mean to say he was malicious, I just think he enjoyed doing what he did
so much that it put a smile on his face. He truly enjoyed sharing and showing
and doing.
One thing I noticed was the total lack of tension,
he was relaxed and that allowed him to move like the wind. His mastery of
weaponry is what began an influence on me that has changed how I look at kobudo
to this day. Using the the Bo and Sai like I had never seen any other kobudo
system before, and I had studied Taira and Matayoshi Kobudo and Isa's methodology
and applications were clearly superior and made sense, using the full length of
the bo instead of the common 2/3 hand positions, similar to Yamanni ryu but
even more. Using the Sai he demonstrated blocking like I had never seen, again
it made sense and it worked because it took into account the force of the other
weapons coming at you and it showed who to receive the force and move with it
to your advantage.
Next Saturday we have here in Hawaii the 1 year
anniversary of Pat Nakata Sensei's Passing to that big dojo in the sky. And one
of the kata I am going to perform is one of the ones from Kaishu Isa- he never
really called it anything, so I just call it Ufushiku Sai. I will post it on
the Zentokukai Youtube page and you can check it out. It is a very cool kata
with a definitely flair of Ufushiku kobudo.
For those of you familiar with Yamanni Ryu and have
seen or done Kyan no Sai, that is a Ufushiko kata from Shosei Kina to Shinyei
Kyan. Shosei Kina studied with Kanagusuku Sanda (a.k.a.- Ufushiku).
Angel Lemus No it ran for 2 years 96 to 98. I plan to republish it as
an IBook for iPad then a kindle book. Maybe this year or 2015 but there is one
major project I'm trying to get off the ground before I can re publish bugeisha
which will be of interest to the entire karate world and will be material never
before seen by anyone. I guarantee it will knock everyone's socks off. If you
think this article on bugeisha was incredible this thing I'm working on is in a
class by itself. So for bugeisha I'm not talking about new material, just the
existing issues 1-7 and the never published issue #7.
