Tuite Jutsu 取手術

  

Tuite Jutsu is a grappling art that is found within classical Ryukyuan karate. Aside from just punches, kicks and occasional throws which are found in most modern karate styles, Tuite Jutsu is an advanced form of grappling, joint manipulation, hyper extensions and breaks that are hidden within the movements and principles of kata. "The literal meaning of "Tuite" ( in Okinawan pronunciation is to grab the opponents hands before executing protection techniques." - Ryu Te no Michi: The Way of RyuKyu Hands; p.4-61

Tuite Jutsu can only come through the understanding of complete body mechanics, human anatomy, natural laws and timing. When these principles and concepts are understood, it opens up an infinite amount of techniques and escapes. Rather than trying to memorize four or five techniques, students must learn the principles and concepts behind how the human body works. Then any and all technical applications can be executed in any position, whether fighting standing up or on the ground.

 

"To use Tuite techniques is like putting out a small fire before it spreads to much to handle. Therefore Tuite techniques have to be used as soon as the attacker contacts your body. A delay in reaction will cause a conflict with the attackers strength."- Ryu Te no Michi: The Way of RyuKyu Hands; p.4-61

Tuite Jutsu can only be truly understood through partner training. The concepts and principles must be put into action through hands-on-training with your partner. As students become more and more skilled in the art of Tuite, they then begin advancing to more and more non compliant partner training. Through this level of training the students begin to understand human reaction and body mechanics. Training with a stationary partner is a must for learning the techniques and understanding initial instruction and form. But to make your techniques real and applicable on anyone, the training must take on a more realist approach, thus requiring a truly focused and serious mind.

Tuite Jutsu the term originated with Oyata Sensei, later appropriated by George Dillman when he created his own version of the Oyata art (they are not the same), IMO beware using terms you don’t understand or have been trained in to describe your art.. (as I began not to use bunkai) just because it sounds neat of is somewhat similar to what you do.

 

My 2 cents.
