PRESIDENT’S WELCOME

EU Shukokai is a club that is continually outdoing itself. Every time we think we are on top of our game, we go ahead and do more! This is down to several factors. Through our excellent coaching team our students receive the best training there is. Each of our instructors has many years of experience and is continually recognised, our coaches having received two PWC Coach of the year awards since I joined the club in 2002.

However, the other side of it is all down to you! We rely on a continual flow of students that show the commitment, teamwork, friendship, enthusiasm and spirit necessary to win 7 consecutive Scottish Universities Championships and 3 consecutive British Universities Championships.

I have made many friends in the club, I have competed many times for club and university (and won some medals!) and I have learnt a lot about myself on the way. I hope that you choose to join EU Shukokai, because we have an exciting year ahead of us with Edinburgh hosting the British Universities Championships, as well as having a busy social calendar and eclectic mix of members!

Matthew CowieClub President 2005-2006Edinburgh University Shukokai Karate Club

COACH’S WELCOME

An education at Edinburgh University carries with it a certain prestige in the academic community; we are delighted that graduating as a student of Edinburgh University Shukokai Karate Club (EUSKC) now carries the same prestige in the International martial arts community.

Though steeped in tradition, Edinburgh University is recognised as leading-edge in its academic research; similarly, though the art that e practice is steeped in centuries-old tradition, the coaching staff at EU Shukokai are recognised and rewarded for bringing our practice and methods bang up-to-date.

We have replaced mindless repetition with accelerated learning, we have researched the art we present to you so that we might present the practical over the superficial, we continue to study from the foremost authorities on ur subject and bring them where possible to your dojo, so that you may sip from the fire hose.

What we offer you as a result, is a syllabus of teaching tailored around the semester system at Edinburgh University that will give you one of the broadest, most complete studies of Karate anywhere in the UK, and the opportunity to gain black belt in concert with your degree.

Whether you wish to compete for the most successful University Karate Club in Britain, whether you wish to learn practical and effective self defence, whether you wish to lose a little weight, get a little fitter, or have simply always wanted to "give Karate a go", I'm confident that we've created an environment, a syllabus and an atmosphere within which you can realise your goals.

If you are returning to the dojo from previous years - welcome back. If reading this is one of your first experiences of our club however, the coaches extend the warmest of welcomes and look forward to seeing what we can all achieve together.

HISTORY OF SHUKOKAI KARATE

Shukokai Karate, "The Way for All" is a dynamic form of Okinawan Karate, which has evolved from careful analysis of the dynamics and principles of traditional karate. The lineage of Shukokai is such that it can be considered a direct descendant of its parent style, Shito Ryu. Thus in order to fully appreciate the evolution of Shukokai Karate from the original Okinawan Te schools, it is a valid exercise to first explore the development of Shito-Ryu Karate.

The formation of the Shito Ryu school of Karate is accredited to Soke Kenwa Mabuni (1890-1952). Mabuni, like many of the old karate masters, was descended from the Okinawan warrior class, or bushi. Mabuni family members had served Okinawan lords for hundreds of years. Mabuni's training was performed notably under 2 masters.

At age 13, Mabuni became a student of Yasutsune "Ankou" Itosu (1830-1915). Itosu taught Okinawan Shuri-Te and was credited as the master who developed the pinan kata and was instrumental in

organising early karate into the Okinawan school system. Itosu himself was a student of one of Okinawa's most famous karate masters, Sokon Matsumura (1792-1887), the forefather of Shorin-Ryu. It is said that Itosu developed a strong bond with young Mabuni, passing on his knowledge of 23 kata. As a result of Itosu's death in 1915, Mabuni became the second master of the Itosu school, building a shrine in front of his master's grave where he lived nearby for a year, following the daily ritual of refining his kata performance.

During his teens, Mabuni also studied under Kanryo Higa(ashi)onna (1853-1915), a teacher of Naha-Te, a particularly Chinese influenced karate style. Mabuni was introduced to Higaonna by his friend, Chojun Miyagi (who went on to become the founder of Goju-Ryu karate).

Interestingly, during the 1920s, Mabuni participated with Miyagi in a Karate Club at a dojo known as Ryukyu Tode Kenkyu Kai, the "Okinawan Karate Research Club". This dojo saw many masters from a diversity of backgrounds train together, and whilst there Mabuni learned some Fukien Province White Crane Kung Fu, from the legendary Woo Yin Gue, a Chinese tea merchant living on Okinawa. These teachings have survived through the kata Rohai (Crane on the Rock) and Nipaipo.

During this period, Mabuni had become a highly respected police officer, and frequently visited Japan following Funakoshi's introduction of karate there, in 1922. In 1929, Mabuni relocated permanently to Osaka. Just after he took up residence there, the governing body for martial arts in Japan, the Butokukai, enforced that all karate schools should officially register by their style name. Initially, Mabuni named his style Hanko, meaning "half-hard", but by the early 1930s, he was using the name Shito-Ryu.

The Chinese characters (kanji) used to write Okinawan family names have 2 pronunciations, e.g. "Shi" or "Ito", from Itosu and "To" or "Higa", from Higaonna

Mabuni took the first 2 characters from the family name of each of his original masters, thus establishing "Shito" as the name of his style, and acknowledging the contribution of his teachers to the development of his own style.

Mabuni resided in Osaka until 1952, devoting his entire existence to promoting his Shito school of Karate. It was during this lifetime that one of his students, Chojiro Tani was to further refine the style, into Shukokai Karate.


Mabuni only issued a handful of Shihan Menjo (master teacher licenses) to non-family members during his lifetime, and died without naming an inheritor-in-charge or a single successor to his art. The few Shihan licenses he actually issued directly include Sakagami Ryusho, Iwata Manzo, Tani Chojiro, Watanabe Masami and Tomoyori Ryusei.

Of those Shihan, Tani Chojiro was born in Kobe, Japan in 1921 and began studying the art of Karate during Junior High School at the Goju School of Karate. He entered Doshisha University in 1940 and furthered his studies of karate under the direction of Mabuni. In 1948 he opened the Shukokai School of Karate in Kobe, where he taught Tani-ha Shito-Ryu. He also organised clubs in Kyoto University and Osaka College of Economics, Tottiro University and Kobe University Medical School.

Subsequently, Tani then formed the Shukokai Institute, in an effort to spread his particular form of Shito Ryu (Tani-ha Shito Ryu, which came to be known in it’s own right as Shukokai). Tani instructed seminars to high ranking Karate students all over the world, lecturing in his own particular refinements and methods. Tani noted that “most of the Karate Organisations in Japan and elsewhere still implement the old theories and systems of theories and training”. By careful analysis of his art, with particular regard to modern sports

science, Tani hoped that his Shukokai system would avert the situation he identified, whereby “Karate will not improve its value as a sport or Budo (martial way) if new theories are not introduced”.

Perhaps the greatest insight of Tani Chojiro, was that no single art or faction of an art had all the answers. On this premise, Tani was one of the first masters to promote the principle of advanced students cross-training in other styles or arts, to further refine and improve their own. In his seminal lecture tour, Tani Sensei wrote:

"The purpose of the whole institute [Shukokai] is to establish the most authoritative Karate institute in the world. It is very important to open your mind towards other schools and their techniques. This is the time to forget about styles, and to think about your improvement in Karate. Everybody must go back to the beginning and think about all the basic theories. Why? There are so many styles and schools of Karate and thousands if not more are following each of them. There must be something good or better in the different styles. Find out what it is. After you do, you still might think yours is better, if so, think why yours is better. This way of thinking gives you confidence and further development."

Outside of Japan, Tani's style spread mainly in Europe (Kofukan International). Shigeru Kimura, one of the students of Chojiro Tani then promulgated Shukokai to the United States, whilst Yoshinao Nambu continued (as he does to this day) to teach in Europe, more recently in his derivative of Shukokai Karate, which he termed “Nanbudo”.

Tani Sensei passed away on 11th January 1998, ten days before his 79th

birthday.


TRAINING TIMES

EU Shukokai meets and trains 3 times weekly, each academic semester. All training sessions take place in the St Leonard’s Sports Centre on the fourth floor, though certain classes may occasionally be scheduled to take in the Pleasance Sport Centre. Class times are:

Wednesday St Leonard’s Sports Centre 19:30 – 21:30Friday St Leonard’s Sports Centre 19:30 – 21:30Sunday St Leonard’s Sports Centre 13:00 – 15:00

Classes start promptly, however students who find it difficult to arrive on time due to lecture/work commitments should simply inform the instructors that they may be late for class. Those who arrive late for class should join the class only when invited to by the instructor, and should expect to have to warm-up briefly on their own, before joining in with the rest of the class.

Outwith the academic terms, training is scheduled for those still in Edinburgh, though not necessarily on the days or times listed above.

COST OF JOINING CLUB

All payments made to the club should be cash, or a cheque made payable to “EUSKC”, unless explicitly stated otherwise by the club instructor. In summary, an academic year at EU Shukokai costs:

Semester 1 £35.00Semester 2 £25.00

On the other hand, if members pay for the entire year in one go at the beginning of semester one, then a discount of £5 is given. This brings the costs of an academic year to £55.

However, CSE rules dictate that club members must also join the CSE, either as a full member (£72) or as an affiliate member (£24). As a full member you can use all the facilities (including swimming pool); as an affiliate member you can only train with the club.

Unlike some other clubs (including other martial arts clubs) within the University, there will be no further payment required during the term, and no initial ‘signing up fee’.

There are no coaching tuition fees required on a week by week basis.

Consequently, though the initial outlay may seem in accordance with other sports clubs, free coaching for students makes this club excellent value for money.

Semester 1 is the most expensive, as this includes the annual license fee. The practice of martial arts in the United Kingdom is strictly governed, and requires that practitioners are annually licensed and insured with an appropriate governing body. A significant proportion of the semester 1 fee is used to purchase a license and insurance premium for each and every student. Students will receive a hard-cover license and grading book, which will contain their insurance cover slip, and will provide a record of achievement in which grades awarded to them are recorded and approved.

All other money collected funds the ongoing running of the club and is used for equipment purchase, administration fees and to allow the club to offer seminars with world class instructors, send individuals and teams to competitions, subsidise social events for the club, etc.

The only other significant purchase to be made is a Karate Uniform called a Gi. There is no urgency to purchase one of these, though most students choose to purchase one just before their first grading, at the end of Semester 1. Students are welcome to buy their own uniform from a store, though you should


be advised that the club is able to offer uniforms, as well as other equipment, at significantly reduced prices, through purchasing from suppliers at wholesale prices.


CLUB INSTRUCTORS

The club is fortunate to have the resource of several Dan Grade (Black Belt) instructors, with a wide range of expertise in addition to Shukokai Karate. Each of the instructors below holds full Professional Indemnities for teaching martial arts. They hold insurance policies which may be viewed by any club members upon request.

COMMITTEE

EU Shukokai, as with all sports clubs at the University, is run by the students, for the students. The instructors have been put in place by the University and the students, and their role is to ensure that each and every student is taught a high standard of Karate that caters for not only the needs of all the students, but the aspirations of each individual student.

General management of the club however is performed by a democratically elected committee, which is chosen each year at the club Annual General Meeting. Students of the club are encouraged to take an interest in the running of the club, and will be able to offer their services for subsequent years, towards the end of the teaching block preceding the Easter Vacation.

Your committee this year was elected to be:

President Matthew CowieCaptainTreasurer Alan WorsleySecretary Alison MartinSocial Secretary Fraser McNivenPublicity Officer Melissa Ruseler

If you have any questions regarding technical matters of Karate, the instructors will be delighted to answer them. Any matters regarding the club, please feel free to take them to any of the committee members, who will do their best to help you. The committee members will be introduced for the first few classes.

COURSES AND GRADINGS

Regular gradings will be held at the end of each academic semester. For 2005/06, Kyu (Coloured belt) gradings will cost £12, though students should not necessarily consider this as a semesterly expenditure. Though students may advance through the initial grades at a rate of one a semester, they should note that they will grade less often at a higher level.

Cost of the grading includes a belt and certificate.

Students should also be aware that at no point do they have an automatic right to grade. All gradings will result from the explicit invitation of the club instructor, which will usually be extended after the recommended time spent at each grade.

Over the last few years, the EU Shukokai instructors have established relationships with International Seminar instructors from around the world. Students will gain a perhaps unique opportunity to train with highly qualified and recognised figures within the martial arts, as Edinburgh Shukokai has firmly established itself as a prestigious venue on the International Seminar circuit. In the past years, students have been offered courses with luminaries including Rick Clark, Patrick McCarthy, Vince Morris and Soke Yamaue.

Seminars are offered as an extra for those students who are interested, and there is no compulsion to attend. Seminar fees will be set for each individual seminar, but students should be aware that these seminars are subsidised for them, presenting a unique opportunity to train with these instructors that should not be undervalued.

HEALTH AND SAFETY

Chief Instructor, Steven Webster, is a fully qualified first-aider under the British Red Cross. Any injuries or accidents that occur should be brought to his attention in the first instance, before being brought to the attention of any of the other members of the club.

Students who suffer from particular illnesses or medical complaints should consider that it is in their own best interests to bring these to the attention of the instructor. Knowledge of a condition such as diabetes, asthma or epilepsy can make it safer and easier to deal with any incidents that may unfortunately occur as a result of these conditions.

Similarly, students who acquire an illness or injury, but who consider themselves fit enough to train, are asked to advise the instructor in charge of their recent condition, so that no unnecessary demands are placed on them.

All information will be held in the strictest of confidence.

The Sports Union requires that we advise students that Karate is considered a “high risk” sporting activity; this attribution of risk is not based on previous incidences in the club, but is simply a result of the nature of the sport form of our art. The club adheres to a strict safety policy which is agreed between the committee, instructors and the University, copies of which are available in the club folder, and which students should make the effort to familiarise themselves with.

INTERNET RESOURCES

The club has a strong online presence, with a wealth of information available to club members to assist them in their training. This may be found at the club website, by visiting the address:


http://shukokai.eusu.ed.ac.uk/Furthermore, the club operates a mailing list, used to keep members up to date with courses, gradings, social events, etc. In addition, it is free to be used for club members to discuss things outwith club time, though it should not be excessively abused (posts should be of interest to the majority of club members, and not public exchanges that would be better kept to private email).

If at any point you wish to subscribe to the mailing list, you may do so by sending a blank email, to [email protected]. Furthermore, you may unsubscribe at any time from the list, by sending an email to [email protected].

AFFILIATIONS

Edinburgh University Shukokai Karate Club is directly affiliated to the Ao Denkou Kai Scotland association. ADK Scotland is an umbrella association, formed to cater for a wide variety of martial arts. The style of martial arts practiced at EUSKC, quite obviously, is Shukokai Karate. However, the principles of ADK Scotland recognise that at advanced levels, students should be exposed to facets of other arts, where the knowledge may complement and add to that of their primary art. This is a precept that was advocated by Tani Chojiro, the founder of Shukokai Karate, during his inaugural demonstrations of the art.

Through ADK Scotland, EUSKC enjoys direct affiliation to Ao Denkou Kai, an International organisation figureheaded by Professor Rick Clark, 8th Dan. Professor Clark holds his 8th Dan in Ryukyu Kempo (Okinawan Karate) as well as holding 7th Dan (Tae Kwon Do), 7th Dan (Ju Jitsu), 5th Dan (Chinese Kempo), 4th Dan (Judo), 3rd Dan (Modern Arnis) and 1st Dan (Hapkido). Edinburgh University Shukokai Karate Club is delighted to have Professor Clark as Technical Advisor to our Association, which allows us to have him visit our club from the USA twice annually.

APPLICATION FORMS

To become members of the clubs, students should hand an envelope, marked clearly with their name, to the club secretary, containing:

A printed application form (Available from the Committee) A photocopy of any previous Shukokai License they have held A cheque made payable to EUSKC, for membership fees

Member details will be held on a computer database, from which membership rosters, attendance records and grading and course registrations will be processed. Furthermore, the club licensing officer has to submit a separate application form to our licensing body for each member of the club, for their license and insurance application; this will be generated from the details you supply.

RECOMMENDATIONS

"Traveling around the world teaching Karate seminars I get a good chance to gauge the knowledge, ability and teaching style of many Karate instructors. I can honestly say the Edinburgh University Shukokai Karate Club ranks highly both in students and instructors. The outstanding attitude and ability demonstrated by the students of EUSKC is a direct reflection on the Chief Instructor and his Assistant Instructors. Steven Webster is a top notch instructor who can and has passed on his ability and skill in the martial arts.

Professor Rick Clark (8th Dan) Founder, Ao Denkou Kai

"If there is any truth to the expression that growth depends entirely upon attitude & environment, then I'd have to say, based upon my personal experience of training

with Steven Webster & Gerry O'Dea in Scotland, that the Shukokai dojo must be

one heck of a place."

Kyoshi Patrick McCarthy (7th Dan) Founder, International Ryukyu Karate

Research Society

"I enjoyed my brief visit to the Dojo and I'm sure that the students benefit from the level of commitment and skill of the instructors. I look forward to my next visit!"

Kyoshi Vince Morris (6th Dan) Founder Kissaki-Kai Karate, International Institute for Kyusho Jutsu Research

"...We especially enjoyed visiting your dojo and meeting a bunch of well trained students.

Cheyne and I discussed the training in your dojo and we both thought it was first class and of an

exceptional standard. You really are fortunate to have an instructor that can transmit both the

how and the why of karate training. In our experience, very few instructors can do this. The Australian Karate Academy is planning to enter into a long term relationship with your club and hope to have regular visits for tournaments and

seminars..."
