尾張天心古流拳法 Owari Tenshin Koryū Kenpō
Note: the surname, Owari “尾張”, can also be pronounced “Obari” or “Ohari” and I can't tell which pronunciation to use?

| END NOTES: After
I first posted these listings, there was a small flurry of questions
that arose out there about the nature of this school (Owari Tenshin
Koryū Kenpō). Some stated that this school is not a Koryū school and so it had been mislabeled. This resulted from a misinterpretation of the material, the school name is literally "Owari Tenshin Koryū Kenpō", there was no mislabeling here. I have no idea if this school classifies as one of the "Koryū" schools or not??
The second important question that arose: What is this school and its martial art, is it a form of Kenpo Karate? Is it a variant form of Jujutsu? The answer is Kenpō Jūjutsu (拳法柔術), it does have pronounced elements of Kenpo both in content and structure which are fused together with the elements, content and structure of Jujutsu. The resulting structure is not made up, it is a natural and predictable structure produced through the standard processes which form true Japanese schools. The visible elements of Kenpō include: Seiryūken "Blue Dragon Fist" and Mokōken "Fierce Tiger Fist". And these are pronounced in their usage according to what is called Atemi Sappō "Killing by Striking Method" as well as the Sichijūnimon-ken "72 Gates Fist". One can easily see the basis of Chinese style Kenpō (Ch. quán fǎ) in such nomenclature as this. But when looking over the entire set of listings, one can just as easily see the elements of native Jujutsu. It's structure does no that much resemble a true Jujutsu school, but is fairly indicative of the schools of Kenpō Jūjutsu. |
