superleeds Posted July 31, 2003 Posted July 31, 2003 yup I practice Chito-Ryu.. I've taken the liberty of translating an introductory chapter from the norwegian Chito-ryu manual. I didnt have time to read through it afterwards so there may be some wierd spelling and grammar at times. CHITO-RYU Chito-Ryu was founded by Dr. Tsuyoshi Chitose. O'sensei was born in Kume in Naha, Okinawa 1898. O'sensei is the grandson of Soken Bushi Matsumara a well known karateka. O'sensei started training in Toudi(karate) at the age of 7. His first teacher was Aragaki. A lot of the founders of japanese karate studied with Aragaki, among them Higashionna(Naha-te), Miyagi(goju-Ryu)Mabuni(shito-ryu) and Funakoshi. The most influential instructor o'sensei studied with was Chotuko Kyan. Kyan was apperantly a notorious troublemaker and O'sensei developed alot of his karate in barbrawls around naha's red light district...The third influential instructor yhat helped "shape" o'senseis karate was Mabuni. Mabuni haught O'sensei the martial art Ti which has some similarities with aikido. O'sensei chose the chito-ryu ro remind us of karates chinese heritage. chi means a thousand (years), to is the name of "old China". Read a book!
Ises Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 I study it to and I love it. I don't have much to compare it to other than Goju Ru which I like too.
