Satunuku Sakugawa (Tode)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The history of the Okinawan karate, which we are train today, can be traced back to the year 1733 and the birth of the Okinawan master Satunuku Sakugawa (1733-1815). Born as \u201eTeruya Kanga Sakugawa\u201c in the city of Shuri, he began to learn the original fighting-techniques of Te (\u624b)\u24d8<\/strong><\/sup><\/span>Kanji: \u624b (Hiragana: \u3066, Phonetics: te)<\/span>technique (Okinawan), Japanese = hand, also Ti or Di<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> at an early age from the Okinawan monk Takahara Peichin. Later he became a student of the Chinese envoy Kusanku (Kwang Shang Fu), who taught him the Chinese martial art known as Kenpo (\u62f3\u6cd5)\u24d8<\/strong><\/sup><\/span>Kanji: \u62f3\u6cd5 (Hiragana: \u3051\u3093\u307d\u3046, Phonetics: kenp\u014d)<\/span>method of the fist, Japanese name for \u201equanfa\u201c (kung-fu)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>. Together with Kusanku, Satunuku Sakugawa traveled for several years to China and deepened his knowledge in the Chinese martial arts. His high level of proficiency in both martial arts earned him the nickname “Tode Sakugawa”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of his last and most important students was Sokon Matsumura, who further advanced the systematization of the techniques.

Sok<\/strong>on Matsumura (Matsumura Sho<\/strong>rin-Ryu<\/strong>)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The lineage of our style begins with the founder of Shorin Ryu, “Sokon Bushi Matsumura” (1797-1889). Born as \u201eSokon Kayo\u201c in the city of Shuri, he began to learn the martial art Tode at an early age, just like his later master \u201eTode Sakugawa\u201c. He also traveled several times to China to study the Chinese martial arts Kenpo (\u62f3\u6cd5)\u24d8<\/strong><\/sup><\/span>Kanji: \u62f3\u6cd5 (Hiragana: \u3051\u3093\u307d\u3046, Phonetics: kenp\u014d)<\/span>method of the fist, Japanese name for \u201equanfa\u201c (kung-fu)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> and the local weapons arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was considered as an expert in the samurai sword art Jigen Ryu (\u793a\u73fe\u6d41)\u24d8<\/strong><\/sup><\/span>Kanji: \u793a\u73fe\u6d41 (Hiragana: \u3058\u3052\u3093\u308a\u3085, Phonetics: jigen ry\u016b)<\/span>revealed reality style, Japanese swordsmanship of the shimazu-samurai of Ky\u016bsh\u016b<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> and his reputation as a legendary fighter was well known not only in Okinawa but also in Japan and China. Because of his expertise, he became the bodyguard of the former king \u201eKo Sho\u201c of the Ryukyu Kingdom and his two successors, \u201eIku Sho\u201c and \u201eTai Sho\u201c (the last king of Ryukyu).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his time, it was tradition to change one’s name when receiving such a great honor.

Nabe Matsumura (Matsumura Sho<\/strong>rin Ryu<\/strong>)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bushi Matsumura had over a dozen students. One of his best and closest was his grandson Nabe Matsumura (1860-1930), who is also considered the successor of Bushi Matsumura and thus heir to the Matsumura Shorin Ryu. Nabe Matsumura lived by the traditional idea, that the knowledge of the art of defense should only be passed on to family members. For that reason his nephew Hohan Soken was probably his only long-time student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hohan So<\/strong>ken (Sho<\/strong>rin Ryu<\/strong> Matsumura Seito<\/strong>)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hohan Soken (1890-1982) was born in the city of Gaja (Nishihara district). At the age of 13 he began to learn the style of Matsumura Shorin Ryu and Kobudo (\u53e4\u6b66\u9053)\u24d8<\/strong><\/sup><\/span>Kanji: \u53e4\u6b66\u9053 (Hiragana: \u3053\u3076\u3069\u3046, Phonetics: kobud\u014d)<\/span>old martial way, martial arts with weapons<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> from his uncle Nabe Matsumura. In 1945 he began teaching his own style, \u201eMatsumura Shuri Te\u201c.

Hohan Soken, who died in 1982 at the age of 92, had a few trusted students whom he taught until he was 88 years old. This made him the oldest living active grandmaster for many years. Some of these students in turn founded their own styles which were derived from their masters main style Matsumura Seito. Among them were Seiki Arakaki (Matsumura Shinbukan), Fusei Kise (Kenshinkan), Takaya Yabiku (Matsusokan) and Yuichi Kuda (Matsumura Kenpo).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yuichi Kuda (Matsumura Kenpo<\/strong>)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Born in Chinen village, Okinawa, Yuichi Kuda came from a family with a 500-year-old samurai tradition, that goes back to the royal family of the first Sho dynasty. He received his first lessons in Okinawan martial arts as a child from his father. His father also taught him the family style of bojutsu (\u68d2\u8853)\u24d8<\/strong><\/sup><\/span>Kanji: \u68d2\u8853 (Hiragana: \u307c\u3046\u3058\u3085\u3064, Phonetics: b\u014djutsu)<\/span>staff-techniques, includes all variants of the art of fighting with a staff<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>.

In the 1960s he learned Okinawa Kenpo under Shigeru Nakamura (president of the Okinawan Kenpo Association). In keeping with the spirit of the martial arts, full-contact sparring was common in Shigeru Nakamura’s dojo. For this purpose, a bogu (\u9632\u5177)\u24d8<\/strong><\/sup><\/span>Kanji: \u9632\u5177 (Hiragana: \u307c\u3046\u3050, Phonetics: b\u014dgu)<\/span>armour, protective gear for the kend\u014d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> similar to that of kendo was used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the death of Shigeru Nakamura in 1969, Yuichi Kuda finally became a student of Hohan Soken and began to learn Shorin Ryu Matsumura Seito.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end Yuichi Kuda founded the \u201eMatsumura Kenpo Shorin Ryu Karate Kobudo Association\u201c and named his style \u201eMatsumura Kenpo\u201c. In addition Master Kuda developed his own katas, which were incoperated into Matsumura Kenpo.

Tomosada Kuda is the most recent leaf in the lineage of the Okinawan masters of our style. He was born in Okinawa in 1950 and has been taught in the martial arts since childhood by his father Yuichi Kuda as well as the legendary Hohan Soken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the death of his father in 1999, Tomosada Kuda became his father’s heir and took over the presidency of the world association \u201eAll Okinawa Shorin Ryu Matsumura Karate and Kobudo Association\u201c (\u6c96\u7e04 \u5c11\u6797\u6d41 \u677e\u6751\u62f3\u6cd5 \u7a7a\u624b \u53e4\u6b66\u9053 \u7dcf\u672c\u90e8)\u24d8<\/strong><\/sup><\/span>Kanji: \u6c96\u7e04 \u5c11\u6797\u6d41 \u677e\u6751\u62f3\u6cd5 \u7a7a\u624b \u53e4\u6b66\u9053 \u7dcf\u672c\u90e8 (Hiragana: \u3057\u3087\u3046\u308a\u3093 \u308a\u3085\u3046 \u307e\u3064\u3080\u3089 \u3051\u3093\u307d\u3046 \u304b\u3089\u3066 \u3053\u3076\u3069\u3046 \u305d\u3046\u307b\u3093\u3076, Phonetics: okinawa sh\u014drin ry\u016b matsumura kenp\u014d karate kobud\u014d s\u014d honbu)<\/span>All Okinawa Sh\u014drin Ry\u016b Matsumura Kenp\u014d Karate and Kobud\u014d Association, world association of our style with Tomosada Kuda as president<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> as well as his father’s dojo.
