Another seminar by Oyata Seiyu shinshi (Part-2)

[KCRyuShinKan]

I'll tell you that his tuite works quite well from supine, prone, seated and pretty much any other position....though I have not tried it while hanging upside down like a bat or in zero G. Just sayin'.

[JDEMfgConsultant]

I completely agree with your assessment. Thanks.

3rd of 3 Comments: However, I've had ribs and fingers broken in both full-contact karate and judo matches and never realized it until long after the match. He's probably too old now, but I would love to see how well one of his proteges would do against one of the top UFC fighters. I don't necessarily think most UFC are highly skilled MA's, but they are incredible athletes and damn good fighters. I would love nothing more to see a top UFC fighter rendered unconscious by an Oyata technique.

If MMA fights started with both fighters standing with their hands at their sides about 2 feet away from each other (the way real confrontations usually begin) Oyata Seiyu shinshi's style would be highly effective. I've witnessed well over a hundred fights and better than 80% began that way. His style works in real world situations. If MMA matches started more closely to the way real fights do, it would work very well indeed (IMHO)

2nd of 3 Comments: Please don't get me wrong, because even after a fight pursues, Oyata is a deadly MA - I'm just saying that the techniques become more difficult to apply, and adrenaline and alertness reduce the effectiveness of many (not all) of the techniques. For example, if someone where to kick me in the groin or break a rib right when we first engage, it might be enough for me to hesitate allowing the opponent to finish me off.

1st of 3 Comments: I highly admire Oyata, and believe everything he teaches. However, I don't believe his techniques work on the ground, because so much depends on gravity. Nor do I believe that many of the techniques work once a fight has started (at least against a well-trained martial artist). What I mean is that many of the techniques are based on initial strikes and grabs where a highly-advanced technique can be quickly applied rendering an opponent paralyzed, knocked out, or dead.

@JDEMfgConsultant

I believe that Oyata sensei would agree that his techniques are designed for a particular range (standing close range) and are focused heavily on ending the encounter at the very beginning. In fact I have heard him say that he focuses on what he called "one chance only" techniques. This is because he believes that in real life (or death) self-defense you rarely will get a second chance.

@JDEMfgConsultant

Having said that, his techniques are quite effective at ending a standing close range confrontation quickly. However, as you pointed out, they work best within that scenario.

He only teaches his black belt students once a week, on Tuesday night in his dojo located Independence Missouri.

You have to be at least a black belt and one of his teachers or students to attend.

Thanks for sharing..

lots of wisdom here

[dirtyfighter34]

these were the good old days, when he shared freely and openly, by the late 90s the kyusho all but disappeared from his seminars. Thanks much !

@dirtyfighter34 when you have Dillman dirtying the waters what do you expect...

[BushiNoTeIsshinryu]

Thank you very much for sharing so much material from Oyata Sensei. This is a lot to review and consider.
