Here is a short entry from the
Motobu-ryu
Facebook page. This is the group headed by Motobu Chosei shinshii who is the son of famed karate master and fighter Motobu Choki shinshii. Motobu Chosei shinshii is the current headmaster of both Motobu Kenpo and Motobu Udundi. This entry discusses the existence of Tuidi [取手] within "old-style karate" and especially within
Naihanchi series of kata. "Tuidi" [トゥィーディ] or "Tuiti" [トゥィーティ]
is the Uchinaaguchi word meaning "seizing techniques" and refers to the old
Okinawan joint locking art.
Thanks to Ulf Karlsson
for finding this post and sharing it in the _
Naihanchi no Kenkyu_
Facebook group. I felt many people here would likely be interested as
well.
Notice how Motobu shinshii has established muchimi (adhesion) with his leg, is locking the opponent's right arm and is trapping his opponent's left arm. Such multifaceted control is the hallmark of an advanced and very sophisticated approach to tuidi.
what a very interesting article and photo. I remember taking martial arts when I was 15. It still is one of my most favorite things to do. It can be a very therapeutic exercise. http://www.hmdacademy.com/instructors/
