Talk:Uechi-Ryū

message: Here are photos of the poster-list of the junbi undō, and hojo undō taken with permission by the Okinawa Karate-Dō Association that shows the kanji. The rōmaji has been corrected: note the "karete" misspelling! ^^,

message: The change of pronunciation of 突 from tsu--つ--to づ--zu
In response to an edit I undid, the pronunciation of 突き--"tsuki"--changes to "zuki" WHEN combined with preceding kanji as in 正拳突き--seiken zuki. This is confirmed not only in the pictures I added, but in a book written in Japanese for Japanese readers where the furigana--tiny hirigana pronunciation put above or below more obscure kanji to aid in pronunciation--demonstrates that 突 is pronounced づ--"zu." This is similar to the kanji for "kick"--"keri"--蹴り--being pronounced "geri"--げり--when preceded by kanji for, say, "front," "side," or "DOOM!" ^^,
If anyone doubts this, I can scan a page from the text.

thread_title:  '''Tsu Zu You Think You Are?:''' 

message: An anonymous user made a bunch of changes. He did not understand the shift from "tsu" to "zu" as explained above. Fine. Whatever. However, he changed what most consider "wrist blocks" to "wrist strikes." That is not incorrect. It all depends on how the technique is used. So I edited the section to reflect that.

message: I do not know where the "i" entered into kata that end properly with "ryū" entered into the English, but I have been guilty of mispronouncing it as "rui" and have been corrected on Okinawa. I probably am responsible for some misspellings in the main article! The picture I added comes from a dōjō whose teacher gave me permission to take to help clear up this!
Part of the problem is a lot of people have a problem rendering the long "u" at the end: "ū" Even translated Japanese occasionally misprint it as "ryu" rather than "ryū."
I will add it to the main article. I have other references published in Okinawa if necessary.

message: I corrected this earlier but, typically, forgot one other mention of hanshi-sei in the article. To avoid dyspareunia, there have been references to a hanshi-sei instructor/master title for 10th dan and I am aware of them. The problem is that none of the holders of that grade in Okinawa claim that title and depictions of them do not have it either. Actual 10th dan certificate attest to  hanshi--kanji: 範士. I can try to post pictures if anyone objects.

message: I have heard from reliable sources at my dojo and its former parent association that Sanseirui, the final kata of Uechi-ryu, alternatively translates to "Tiger coming down from the mountain", with connotations of humility.  However, I am unable to properly add this information to the article myself because I do not know the details and I don't have any sources to cite on this.  Can anyone help?

message: I reverted some changes where an anonymous user added organizations with about two paragraphs of biographical detail for each. Unfortunately, one of them admits to no longer being a Uechi organization. 
JUST list the organization with a referenced link to a webpage. If it is "major" it has a webpage at least. No need to add a biography! If someone objects, take it here, and then the biography can establish the organization's legitimacy.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheDoctorX (talk • contribs) 06:43, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

message: Just wanted to check if this was just a spelling error or if Ryuyu, under early history, is an actual separate person from Ryuko. I'm only familiar with Ryuko Tomoyose, but all my knowledge of PGN/Uechi-ryu is currently anecdotal.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Onabear (talk • contribs) 15:08, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

message: It is a Talk Page, so here is a sad recognition of the passing of a great person, teacher, and Uechi practitioner. Yonamine Sensei ran the original Koza dōjō, which is the oldest still in existence before moving to establish a new school in a different city. Infamous for his conditioning, he also was a major practitioner of kobudō. The picture above to show the kanji for Hanshi (範士) is from his certificate. TheDoctorX (talk) 07:02, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Suggestions welcome.
