"Soke Ron Craddock was good friends with Oyata and was heavily influenced by him. His Shinki-Ryu Karate is an offspring of Ryukyu Kempo and utilizes many styles of both Oyata and George Dillman."
If there are Wikipedia:Reliable sources which confirm this fact, then please add the citation. Otherwise I will remove this claim.

message: Now that this article has stabilized, it seems to be that it exceeds the "Start" classification it has within the Martial Arts Project scope. I'm uncertain if it would be best categorized as a "B" or "C" however. Would someone care to weigh in on this? 70.39.231.36 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 20:46, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

message: I see there's a flag for peacock language, so I just went through to fix any, but found little. Perhaps it has already been fixed and we should remove the flag? Are there specific sections or terms left that need to be addressed?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sderose (talk • contribs) 17:42, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I've looked at some web sites  and some books: I find no mention of Taika Seiyu Oyata, Uhugushiku no Tanmei or Wakinaguri. Mark Bishop 'Okinawan Karate' has a section on Shigeru Nakamura and his students: no mention of Oyata. Is this article based on blogs? jmcw (talk) 18:15, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

text: Wikipedia is not about truth: it is about Wikipedia:Verifiability. You, your father, your grandfather, your great grandfather or your great great grandfather would need Wikipedia:Reliable sources to have an article in Wikipedia. So do Taika Seiyu Oyata, Uhugushiku no Tanmei, Wakinaguri and Ryu te. I don't belong to this style or train under Oyata or one of his students, but I am aware of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines (for instance, Wikipedia:Notability). Common sense dictates that you learn something about Wikipedia (like signing yourself with '~~~~'. Welcome to Wikipedia! jmcw (talk) 15:49, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notability 

message: In no way should the articles of Ryu-Te be merged with Dillman or Ryukyu Kempo.  Although Oyata began as Ryukyu Kempo, it was Dillman that caused Oyata to rename his organization to Ryu-Te.  He did this to separate himself from Dillman and others who were using Ryukyu Kempo as their organization name.
Ryu-Te is an acronym for Ryukyu Hand.  Oyata chose this name to reflect the old ways of karate when it was simply referred to as Di or Ti (hand).  Karate (空手) is a relatively new way of describing the martial art of Okinawa.  It has been referred to as Liu Chu no Di (琉球の手); Okinawa no Di (沖縄の手); bushi no di (武士の手); and Tode (唐手).  Oyata's martial art is tied to the ancient way and he wanted to credit Okinawa (Ryukyu) by naming his organization Ryu-Te (Ryukyu Hand).

thread_title:  Do Not Merge Dillman and Oyata in the Ryu-Te section! 

message: So I radomly decided to read the wiki on this... (Got bored of working on a project so I sidetracked my self...)
And I noticed that while in meaning the principle are right, the wording is defintley different from most of the prinicples on the sheet I got when I joined Ryu-Te about 2 years ago....
(Probably didn't word  that right...)
Although I admit that the sheet I have seems to have typos...
IE. their is no "a" In the fourth principle before peaceful..... Strive to become a warrior for the construction of peaceful and free world.... It creates a gramatically awkard principle, and honestly my sensei's won't tell me whether or not I should include a or not... (Well they kind of do, but in a manner that makes me go huh and nod a long.... (It was more like they were saying I should ask Taika, and he would demonstrate physically(aka beat me up...) but anyways..) that's all...
Update:
I now feel rather foolish, for I have only today realized that my Sensei's probably only typed up part of the Dojo Principles... (and not very well copied either...)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.105.167.186 (talk) 03:55, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
