Karamidi performed by Shikiya Kiyomatsu, 1977.

 



Karamidi means hojo-jutsu, or rope binding. The word consists of "karameru" (karamiyun in Okinawan, bind) and di/ti (hand). In the era of the Ryukyu Kingdom, karamidi was used by Ufuchiku (police chief) and Chikusaji (police officer). Karamidi in Motobu Udundi are directly transmitted from Motobu Choyu sensei.
