| I have two faces now. One is the shihan of my high school's karate club.In
there, I teaches JKF style . ..The other face is the kancho of Yuzenkai. By looking at this website, you are going to understand Gojuryu I teach is traditional and classic. If I am to compare it to Western civilization, Yuzenkai would be the equivalent to the Greek and Roman classics. I am not someone completely denies WKF or JKF sports karate. However, the internationalization and sportification of karate over the past half century has changed karate itself. In order to understand modern Western thought, we need an understanding of Greek thought. The same can be said about karate. ..Many of Yuzenkai's overseas branches are affiliated with WKF."That's good for me." It is of big significance .Because they got two chance to learn WKF Gojuryu and our original Gojury. ..I think I should first explain to everyone the brief history of karate in Japan after WWII.It is a history of a conflict between bujutsu and sports, the contradiction between globalization and loss of tradition, the conflict between mass production and apprenticeship training.  空手はブルース・リー映画の世界的ヒット(1970年代)以後、急速に一斉指導化、マニュアル化、競技スポーツ化され世界へ燎原の炎のように拡散しました。しかしその過程で伝統武術としての技が消えていったのはまことに残念です。 The image shows the Kamae that Chairman Naganuma often used in the 1960s, when karate was not " sport" but "karate". It was a time when we practiced for actual combut rather than competitions.  Karate, which was developed in early-modern Okinawa, has been considered a technique can kill and injure enemies with bare hands,
it was during the chaotic period immediately after the defeat people really
witnessed its power.Shuri-te spread to the mainland during 1910'th , and Goju-ryu began its dojo activities in the 1930'th. For better or for worse, people first witnessed the power of karate in the streets during the occupation period, when security was at its worst right after the war was defeated.  In the town dojo, techniques inherited through Kata and verified in actual
combatthey were passed down like a secret menu.  (the gojuryu karate around1960;1960前後の剛柔流の様子) 琉球(沖縄)で誕生した「手(て)」そして「唐手(とうで)」(両者の意味は違う)は大正時代から本土へ伝播し始め、剛柔流は昭和初期に道場活動が始まりました。その時代の稽古を残している上の1960年代の写真と今日を比べると何が違うのか、本来どういう武道であったのか理解することができます。 We believe that these techniques are the essence of karate and that they are traditions that should be inherited along with the training of Kata.  Considering the relationship between the history of Okinawa (Ryukyu)and
the history of karate, it can be said that these techniques are the orthodox
and the essence of karate.In Kata's Bunkai there is a geometry-like order
and logic that advances the argument from a handful of axioms and leads
to new theorems.This is also a tradition that we must not abandon... ....Karate was portrayed as a villain in judo movies, and the public image of karate in 20century Karate was negative, and few parents wanted their children to attend. When I see a modern dojo where children are the customers, I can't help but feel a different world. 1982年、空手は国体(国民体育大会)の種目となりスポーツ化が加速しました。安全具が開発され剣道を手本とした競技様式とルールが整備されましたが、まだ武術性は意識され、金的を無防備にさらすフットワークや上段蹴りなどは武術性に反すると評価されませんでした。型と組手の理念がまだ一致していたわけです。ただ組手では投げや崩しが禁じられ、型では三戦の強い呼吸やムチミが違反にされるなど作為を感じるものではありました。 Karate become the official event of Japanese National Sports Festival in1982. The situation of Karate rapidly changed and recognized as sports .The protective gear was invented, and the non-contact rule was made with making trial and error.In dojo, children and the women came to be seen. However, the essence as a martial art was still strongly conscious. In the kumite competition, Kamae, who protected the flanks and key points, was coached, and footwork and Jodan-geri, which made kinteki vulnerable, were not evaluated as "not like karate." In the Kata competition, for example Seienchin, Gojuryu's, Shitoryu's, and Okinawa's were equally evaluated. The referee had the experience and insight into the essence to deal with it. ...However Goju-ryu Kumite starts from hand-to-hand distance with the opponent, and emphasizes breaking down, knocking down, and throwing the opponent through transformations, breathing, and the strength and weakness of force. The unified rules were clearly the rules of Shotokan-ryu and Wado-ryu. And the scoring criteria of Kata clearly excluded Okinawan styles, such as Sanchin's strong breathing characteristic of Goju-ryu and Muchimi were considered a violation.       Around the same time, the European karate world was strongly influenced by Taekwondo and converted to its own point-based game. ``Makiwara training is unnecessary for non-contact rules. Kinteki breaks the rules, so you don't have to be conscious of defense,'' he began to actively move from light dance-like steps to unprotected upper kicks. It has changed greatly to a quick touch thrust that is thrown loosely, taking into account the thickness of the fist supporter. ...The biggest feature is that the "quantity over quality” system, with 1 point for tuki, 2 points for chudan keri, and 3 points for jodan keri, had made a major shift to a game that emphasizes kicks. “Kata and Kumite have become completely different, both in philosophy and technique” ..1990年ころ、ヨーロッパの空手はテコンドーから強い影響を受けて見栄えのある蹴り重視の競技へ転換し突き1点、中段蹴り2点、上段蹴り3点のポイント制タッチ組手となりました。巻き藁鍛錬も、脇をしめるのも、金的防御も無用となり、ダンスのようなステップから上段への軽いタッチ蹴りを放ったり、拳サポーターの厚みも計算にいれた緩いにぎりの拳ですばやく相手にタッチする質より量の競技へ変貌し、型と組手は完全に乖離しました。 日本には見栄えのよい技を高評価するヨーロッパ式空手観はなく、寸止めしなければ一撃必殺となる技のみ1本とする"質"のこだわりがあり、競技も実戦的な中段突きの応酬が主でした。型と組手の理念がまだ一致していました。 ...On the other hand,Japanese kumite culture, defeating the opponent with a single counter shot aimed at a vital point is considered the best technique (it is the japanese concept of Ippon), and the match became a battle of chudan tuki counters. The jodan keri was ignored. It didn't make for a great looking game. In the first place, a Karate match is not a show to please the audience. 空手はスポーツとしてはフランスが国際社会の主導権を握り、ヨーロッパスタイルが国際規格になるにつれ本場日本が取り残されるかっこうになり、2000年のソウルオリンピックのテコンドー採用は日本の空手関係者に強い焦りをもたらしました。 4年後の2004年、日本最大のアマチュアスポーツのとしての空手団体「全日本空手道連盟JKF」は反対の声を押し切り日本の空手ルールをヨーロッパ式へ転換し、フランスに本部のあった世界空手連盟(WKF)の支部になりました。これについては沖縄出身で戦後日本の空手の発展に大きな貢献をしてきた金城裕師範(1919-2013)は「あまりにも失ったものが大きかった」と嘆いています。(「唐手から空手へ」2011年)  例えば巻き藁稽古です。かつてはどの道場にもあった巻き藁は本土の空手道場でほぼ消滅しました。防具開発以前の素手素面で組手をしていた時代は巻き藁で鍛えぬいた拳が当たったら大けがをする(実際した)という恐怖が本気の受け技を会得させたものですが、今の競技規定の中で稽古した受け技には現実の戦闘力はないでしょう。 本場日本がオリンピックなりたさにヨーロッパ式に変わり身したこの出来事は、日本の空手の歴史と未来をミスリードする事件だったと考えています。 The internationalization of karate was especially led by France, so the European kumite style quickly became an international standard, leaving only Japan behind. Furthermore, the inclusion of taekwondo in the Olympic Games in 2000 created a strong sense of frustration among those involved in karate in Japan, who felt that "karate must also be an Olympic sport." ..In 2004, the All Japan Karatedo Federation decided to change the rules to European style. Regarding this, as mentioned above, Kinjo Hiroshi (1919-2013), who was born in Okinawa and made a great contribution to the development of postwar karate in Japan beyond the boundaries of schools, later said, "We have lost too much. " said. I have no doubts that overseas people practice WKF karate, but the fact that Japan, the birthplace of karate, has abandoned its traditions and turned to European-style karate is nothing but a misleading of history and the future. また型は武術としての流れを無視しても見せ場を設定し、そこで気合を爆発させ余韻をパフォーマンスする表演となりました。型の分解を毎回の稽古メニューにしている道場はもはや少数派でしょう。私の知る限り部活動(高体連)は皆無です。 This change removed the essence of karate as a martial art. Form became a performance, and strange movements like acrobatics were created there. Kumite became a competition to compete for the speed of the touch, and there was no need to train fists. Nowaday ,WKF- Karate (which JKF propelled )had changed the Japanese traditional Karate into the different Karate came from Europe. "Kata has become "something to practice so that people can see it and score it." For so it stopped at unnatural places and became a performance that created a highlight with like as Kabuki expressions. Now the standard practice is to copy the performance of the previous year's winner. The number of dojos that have traditional Kata and Bunkai training as their curriculum must have become a minority.. The Kata in sports karate competitions has become a performance for scoring points, discarding the elements of traditional Kata in both philosophy and technique. そうして実現した東京オリンピック2020でしたが結果は沖縄の空手家の男子形金メダル以外は海外勢の後塵を拝する結果となりました。組手は惨敗といえます。このイベントによって空手の様々なジレンマが全世界の大衆に露呈しました。 2024年のパリ・オリンピックで空手は外れました。フランスはヨーロッパの空手の中心地なのに不思議です。2028年のロサンゼルス・オリンピックでも採用されないことが決定しています。オリンピックは高い生産性が見込める新スポーツが目白押しです。日本の空手はオリンピック狂騒曲に振り回されない方が良いと思います。 ..It was the Tokyo Olympics 2020, but as a result, except for the men's karate gold medal of the Okinawan karateka, it was a result of worshiping the overseas competitors. The Kumite can be said to have suffered a crushing defeat. ..Karate will not be included as an Olympic event at the 2024 Paris Olympics. It can be said that karate was an event unique to the Tokyo Olympics. ..It was also decided in 2023 that it will not be included in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Karate had been a reference sport limited to the Tokyo Games. Yuzenkai is taking action to practice and pass on traditional karate, which is not European karate, but a connection between basics, kata, and kumite, and enlighten the world. I know there are overseas people who take great interest in it. . 海外と交際していると道場経営上、空手の指導者や選手がテコンドーの指導者や選手を兼ねている例を見かけます。海外ではこの二つをルールの違いとして割り切ってとらえ、ふだんは空手を練習しオリンピックではテコンドーをめざすというケースがよくあります。東京オリンピック前にテコンドーの道場が急きょ空手コースも設置するケースも見られました。 勇善会は空手のヨーロッパ化に干渉されず基本と型と組手が連関した剛柔流の伝統を世界の支部へ提示することを趣旨とします。そこから各地で総合格闘技で戦う剛柔流、紛争地域で生き抜くための剛柔流が生れてきています。期せぬ成果と言えましょう。 ...It may be rude to say this, but to me WKF-Karate now looks like non-contact kickboxing or taekwondo wearing a Karate jacket.Overse  as, many karate athletes also double as taekwondo athletes. Many Taekwondo
instructors also serve as karate instructors.There are many foreigners
who only see the difference between karate and taekwondo as a difference
in rules.There are a certain examples of this in Japan as well. ..Yuzenkai inherits the Japanese tradition of karate, kata, and kumite, which existed before it became European-style karate, and presents it to the world. It is not to deny the karate that each branch practices individually, but to show the original Japanese tradition that they want to know about...  (kakete;kakey: Originally, Gojuryu's kumite starts from the distance of Kakete. "Kumite'' was also called"te-gumi'' in the past, and the literally means to join (kumi)hands (te) with each other .)"kakete(掛け手)" is one of the basic exercises for us."kakete" has various ways depending on several purpose.  剛柔流の組手は「手組み」すなわち「掛け手(カキ―)」の間合い、接近戦の間合いで始めるのが本来です。現在の2メートル間隔の開始線からの「始め！」は近年の競技用ルールです。..In my memory from half a century ago, I remember being  beaten and kicked by my seniors, as well as being knocked down with a byoubu-gaeshi, thrown, and knocked off by a body attack. I was swung around by kakete,
sometimes headbutted, and stepped on when I fell. Those were of course
tricks in Kata. |

 The achievement of the essence of Gojuryu is impossible in the game by JKF-WKF rule. Jiyu-Kumite that admits contact,joint technique,throwing,constriction techniques and grappling technique are necessary . Particularly, "Mawashi-Uke" attack to a neck is the important battle method of Gojuryu.  海外とのやりとの中で浮上しているのは衣のつかみあり、関節・投げ・絞め・固めありの剛柔流の組手ができる競技方法の探求です。打撃で相手の勢いが止まったら技有り。投げ、倒し、関節技が「かかり」の状態になったら技有り。頭部頸椎を回し受けで抑えた瞬間に一本(勝ち)。スリップであるかいなかにかかわらず相手に足の裏以外の身体をマットにつかせたら技有りなど。(紛争地域の支部長から、戦場での転倒は死を意味するという助言に基づきます。これによると審判が止めてくれることを前提とした転倒しながらの技は評価されません。) この競技法によってのみ完璧ではありませんが型と基本と組手が関連する剛柔流の本来的な組手競技になると考えています。 |

 近年の海外の動向として興味深いのが、冒頭の「あまりにも失ったもの」への関心が欧米や中東で急速に盛り上がっていることです。WKFスタイルで学び、ある段階に達した外国人の中に、基本と型と組手が連関した空手の伝統や、併修されてきた沖縄(琉球)古武道への学習熱がさかんになっており、いまや海外における日本人空手家の不可欠な素養になっていると思います。It
is only a mere stick dance if kata of Bo is not trained as kumi-Bo(Bo-kumite). |

 Sensei, Sizuaki Futamata(1931～：Shihan of Okinawa Matayoshi-kobudo,Kancho of Shynbukan),the comrade my respect 80代にしてかくしゃくと世界各地を巡って沖縄又吉古武道を指導し、時には海外の古武道大会に現役で出場される真武館館長二又静明先生。  先生の励ましがなかったら勇善会の海外進出はなかったといえます。外国人相手の経験談、彼らを指導する際の注意点やこつなどご指導くださった恩人です。About the name and logo of YUZENKAI   勇善会Yu-zen-kaiという名称は、実戦で技を検証しえた最後の世代である二人の師の名前、Shihan Yoshiaki Naganuma;長沼善秋師範(左：1944～)の「善」(Zen)と、Shihan
Isamu Kato:加藤勇師範(右：1941～2023)の「勇」(Yu)の字に由来し、長沼師範の命名です。私たちは、その成果を維持し、剛柔流が本来打拳・投げ・関節・締め・固めの5つの要素からなることを重視し、これらをカリキュラム化して後世へ伝えるべきと考えています。 "Testicle (kinteki) attack is not a foul. The stance is more like Sanchin-dachi in that situation and how to set up the hand is more like Tensho. Free kumite conditionally enables the combat-style of ancient Goju-ryu to be reproduced with technical improvements for modern karate. |

戦国時代の中でも哲学的な武将だった上杉謙信の軍旗からデザインしました。文字は謙信の戦闘旗「懸り乱れ龍」です。剛柔流は南派少林拳にルーツを持つため象形拳であり、つまり龍・鶴・鷹・虎・獅子・蛇等の動作が型に表象しており、また沖縄伝武備志の哲学を根底に持つため謙信のデザインはとてもふさわしいと考えています。

私事で恐縮ですが私の母方の祖先は代々小田原藩の御番帳入り藩士で高祖父は1868年の小田原戊辰戦争で戦いそれが原因で命を落としました。少年期からの武術への憧憬とこだわりは血のなせる業と感じています。
