Sensei Masao Shima and Sensei Chokei Kishaba at their dojo in Naha City. He also spent a number of years practicing at
the Matsubayashi headquarters dojo of Sensei Nagamine. During that time Mr. Oshiro's training was directly influenced
by several Okinawan instructors: Seigi Nakamura, Junko Yamaguchi, and Jokei Kushi.
Uchinadi: The Original Karate of Okinawa (volume 1)
Uchinadi, tekobushi, or tode as it is known to the Okinawans, is the very
essence of Karate and derives it's prodigious effectiveness from ultra-sophisticated
body movements, and the dynamic striking power of "atifa". Demonstrated here by Toshihiro
Oshiro, 7th Dan, Uchinadi is Karate for the connoisseur - a sophisticated art that
combines elegant body dynamics with deadly force.
Includes: A lecture on reactive hip striking methods, punitive blocking techniques,
and the destructive ultra-short punch as well as demonstrations of Naihanchi, Pinan Shodan - Godan
and Wankan.
