Yamanni Ryu - Okinawan Bo-Jutsu by Oshiro  ![Yamanni Ryu - Okinawan Bo-Jutsu by Oshiro]()
Yamanni Ryu, the most aristocratic of the Okinawan weapon arts, was previously taught only to the most dedicated martial artists, by direct transmission, master to student. Preserved and nurtured as a cultural treasure of Okinawa by just four senior instructors, it is presented here for the first time since its creation by a member of this distinguished group. Includes all fundamental techniques and training methods of Yamanni Ryu, static and dynamic, as well as: kata, Suuji no Kun, Choun no Kun Sho and Dai, Ryubi no Kun and Kumi Bo combat techniques. A comprehensive and culturally significant treatment of an art previously spoken of, but very rarely seen.
This is the first public appearance of Yamanni Ryu, nothing has been published in any language in the past, and nothing formally recorded on film. This is, therefore, a completely unique product and as such has had a great deal of time and care lavished upon it from the design of the graphics, to the choice of music. Even the most ardent fans of the Tsunami range of videos might be a little surprised, but also delighted at the way in which the subject is introduced. The images are wonderful, the music exquisite, and the performance of traditional Okinawan dance by Tomoku Oshiro, wife of the author and herself a much sought after and highly respected teacher, enchanting!
