large collection of kata videos. Association President Boaz Steigman has
taken over the duties of setting up seminars and assigning dates for D’veed
Natan to teach them. Steigman, Renshi can be reached globally at the number
above. In Israel call: 052-240-4239.
Statement: Ryukyu Kenpo Kobujutsu is a male dominated system; just a fact. The I.T.T. program runs two years and is designed to prepare 11th and 12th graders for military service in the Israeli Army. It teaches material that the Army has neither the time nor the resources to expend on its elite combat troops; much less the common soldier. This program rectifies these shortcomings and produces a superior soldier - regardless of MOS.
D’veed is the
premier Kobujutsu instructor in Israel teaching both kata and combat techniques
with the traditional weapons as well as improvised and modern weapons. His
knowledge of kata breakdown and practical application is unsurpassed in Israel;
elevating it from “kindergarten” to “university” and post doc levels.
Due to his many years of teaching, and high level of expertise, students learn
much more and much faster under him.
Based on his extensive military background in both the US Army and the Israeli
Army, he has designed a program separate from the traditional methods of
civilian self defense training. He calls this I.T.T. It is for use by Combat Soldiers while
fully “kitted up” (armed and armored) for
combat. A Vietnam era veteran, he developed no nonsense (no BS) responses to situations in which normal weapons
have been compromised, are not
available in time, or are not appropriate for use. It incorporates the two vital
elements needed by combat soldiers and operators: lethal and non-lethal
techniques. Techniques that REALLY work - in the field.
**Notice:** Master Shigeru Nakamura is the touchstone from which the modern Okinawa/Ryukyu Kenpo/Kempo names descend. His son, Taketo, retired from teaching; leaving Sensei Odo and Oyata as the only practitioners with a direct link to his teachings and using the Kenpo/Kempo name (Master Seikichi Odo died at 10:48 AM, March 24, 2002). Ryukyu, Kenpo/Kempo, Kobujutsu are, like Karate, generic terms. Anyone can use them. Gichen Funakoshi called his first book, printed in 1922, Ryukyu Kenpo Karate-do. With the advent of the internet, many people try to take advantage of the fame generated by the name Ryukyu Kenpo/Kempo to promote their businesses. Taika Oyata and students, Master Odo and students, Natan, Sensei (student of both) and students, have taken measures to distance themselves from these individuals. All three changed the names by which their systems are known today. Taika Oyata renamed his, “Ryute” and has registered it as his trademark. Master Odo renamed his, “Ryukyu Hon Kenpo Kobujutsu”. Natan, Sensei renamed his, “Ryukyu Kenpo Kobujutsu”. Hanshi Rocky Leavitt simply calls his “Real Karate”. Very few have been long term students of these Masters; and, those who are, are noted on their different Association websites.
