COMPILATION FROM DIFFERENT NEWS REPORT

 

 

GREETINGS FROM THE GOVERNOR

It is with great pleasure that I announce the opening of the 2009 Okinawa Traditional Karate do World Tournament.
Okinawa Prefecture, which was once known as the Ryukyu Kingdom, has a unique culture that developed through exchange with China and other Southeast Asian countries. Karate do and Kobudo were born out of this historical exchange of cultures from a mixture of traditional Okinawan martial arts and those of neighboring countries.
Karate do and Kobudo promote not only physical strength, but also greatly contribute to the building of character through the incorporation of ethics such as respect and courtesy. Today, Karate do and Kobudo are practiced by 50 million people in 178 countries worldwide.
The Okinawa Prefectural Government is making great efforts towards establishing Okinawa as a centre of international exchange and one of the measures being used to realize that goal is the expansion of Karate do and Kobudo network.
The 2009 Okinawa Traditional Karate do World Tournament is jointly held by the Okinawa Dentou Karatedo Shinkoukai (The Society for the Advancement of the Traditional Okinawa Karate) and the Okinawa Prefectural Government to promote and share original styles of Okinawa Karatedo and Kobudo with all the participants. I hope that the tournament participants will take this opportunity to deepen friendships with one another and contribute to the continuation and development of Okinawa Karatedo and Kobudo around the world.

Thank you.


Governor of Okinawa Prefecture
Hirokazu Nakaima

 

OKINAWAN KARATE DO AND KOBUDO

The many islands make up the prefecture of Okinawa are each rich in nature, with unique histories and traditions.


　　In the 12th Century, Okinawa was comprised of scattered fiefdoms governed by aji who built great gusuku (castles) from which to rule their lands. Later, these many fiefdoms were consolidated into three principalities, which were united as the Kingdom of the Ryukyus under King Sho Hashi in 1429. The Kingdom prospered as the hub of entrepot trade from the 14th to 16th Centuries, linking China and other Asian Kingdoms. The danger posed by Japanese pirates in trading across the open seas and the constant need for self-defense in foreign lands, however, made the development of martial arts skills a necessity. It was with this background that Okinawan karate (formerly known as‘ti’) and kobudo evolved. Over centuries of exchange with China and the other Southeast Asian Kingdoms, the best of their martial arts were incorporated into Okinawan ti, giving rise to karate and kobudo as we know them today.


　　Some of the forms of Ti during the prime of the Ryukyu Kingdom were Shuri Ti, best known in the areas surrounding Shuri Castle, Naha Ti, used in the commercial and trading city of Naha, and Tomari Ti, which evolved in an area just between the castle community in the hills and the Naha lowland port area. Each of these schools had their own well known martial arts masters, whose techniques and tenets have been passed down through the generations to this day.


　　Since both karate and kobudo were practiced as hidden arts, never revealed to the uninitiated, there is a distinct lack of written records or literature. The tradition was either conveyed orally or through private teaching. However, following Okinawa's annexation by Japan, the implementation of new legal and other systems, and the concurrent introduction of the Meiji system of public education around 1880’s, karate and kobudo were introduced into the school curriculum. The same era saw the first public demonstrations of the martial arts. From 1910 through to the pre-war years around 1940’s came the first spread of karate and kobudo to areas overseas.


　　In the aftermath of WWII, Okinawan karate was divided into four major schools or ryuha: the Shorin Ryu, Goju Ryu, Uechi Ryu, and Matsubayashi Ryu. Today, many ryuha or kaiha are active in Okinawa. Each has its own standardized basic kata in which the offensive and defensive techniques have their theoretical roots. The Okinawan karate and kobudo traditions that incorporate many years of strict discipline to cultivate both body and mind help polish a practitioners character, giving rise to stronger, emotionally healthier people for the betterment of society. Karate and kobudo are now developing and reaching out to many more people across the world.

Dao Li Jiao

Latest News

Report from Dr.Heryue Wong

7 March 2009: The Dao Li Jiao is very pleased to announce the appointment of our fourth new Dao Li Yuan (Member) for 2009, Mr. Phillip A. Humphries of Fairfax, Virginia Phil has over 30 years experience in the Asian martial arts, beginning as a teenager in the 1970s with Goju-Ryu Karate in Anderson, Indiana, under Sensei Glenn Keeney at the Komikai Academy of Karate; then studying Chung Do Kwan Taekwondo in Columbus and Alexandria, Indiana.   He continued to explore a variety of martial systems over the years to seek out new fighting methodologies, including Tang Soo Do, Mizong Shaolin Gongfu (Kung Fu), Yang Family Taijiquan (Tai Chi Chiuan), Aikido, Kali-Escrima, freestyle American Karate, Krav Maga, Haganah, Hapkido, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. 

 

In the early 1990s while working with a city police force in Indiana, Phil began the study of Seieikan Karate at the Midwest Martial Arts Center in Richmond, Indiana.  He attained Black Belt (Shodan) ranking in Seieikan Karate in 1996. Then in 2007, he undertook the study of freestyle Kempo Karate under the auspices of Gary Dill Self Defense Systems International, cross-ranking as a Black Belt in Bushido Kempo. While serving in law enforcement, he was exposed to PPCT defensive tactics, and developed considerable is real world, practical experience in close quarter hand-to-hand tactics. 

 

After beginning a second career in the national security arena in the Washington, DC area, he began training in the Chinese arts of Xingyiquan (Hsing-I Ch¡uan) and Qinna (Chin Na) under Sifu Clarence Burris, a student of Master Willy Lin, at the Chinese Martial Arts Institute in Virginia.  At age 52, Phil decided to focus entirely on Chinese Martial Arts, particularly the internal systems, taking up the study of Hsing-I Five Elements and Twelve Animals as well as Qinna under Sifu Burris.  Phil is current training plans center on Hsing-I and Qinna, but may later expand into Taijiquan, Baguazhang, and Liu He Be Fa (Water Boxing).

 

In addition to his civilian Federal service, Phil previously served in the U.S. Navy as a law enforcement and security specialist, then later in the Army National Guard as an intelligence analyst and counterintelligence Special Agent.  His wife Catherine is also a martial artist, and trains in Taijiquan at the Chinese Martial Arts Institute. Phil and Cathy also enjoy walking park trails, nature and reading, and are bird enthusiast who share their home with two Cockatiels.

 

Phil is a lay enthusiast of world religion and metaphysics with a keen interest in Taoism, Buddhism, and the mysticism associated with martial arts.  He considers himself a Universalist,¨ when it comes to religion, believing that no one path or doctrine is the sole true path to enlightenment. These concepts are in perfect harmony with the goals of the Dao Li Jiao, and we look forward to all the contributions Phil can provide as we research the Universe and its effects on human life.  Welcome Phil!  Its great to have you join us as Dao Li Yuan #76!  

 

30 January 2009: The New Year is shaping up to be particularly auspicious for increasing membership in the Dao Li Jiao as we welcome our third new Dao Li Yuan (Member) in January alone!  Mr. Brad West of Norman, Oklahoma was certified today as Dao Li Yuan #75.  Originally from north Texas, Brad is a longtime martial arts practitioner, having studied a broad range of arts, and holds a Black Belt in Shotokan Karate in addition to being the top student and Assistant Instructor in Ching Yi Kung Fu Association Black Belt Silas Wolf classes in Norman. Brad was certified as CYKFA Black Belt #77 in August 2008. In addition to his martial arts practice and teaching, he is an all-around athlete of note and played basketball in college. The warmest of welcomes to you, Brad!  It is great to have you join us in our study of the Universe and the Way of Reason!

 

29 January 2009: Dr. Her Yue Wong, the Black belts of the Ching Yi Kung Fu Association, and the Yuan of the Dao Li Jiao wish to extend to Michael Alan Brown and his family our acknowledgement of the loss of their mother on 28 January. Both Michael and his sister had the opportunity to visit their mother in the months prior to her passing this was good. Since it was her wish to pass from this world into the next without a lot of fanfare, we wish to simply stand by our Brother in saying goodbye to her.

 

Empty yourself of everything. Let your mind rest at peace. The ten thousand things rise and fall while the Self watches their return. They grow and flourish and then return to the source...Being one with the Dao is eternal, and though the body dies, the Dao will never pass away. Chapter 16, Dao De Jing

 

9 January 2009: The Dao Li Jiao continues to make great progress into 2009 as we welcome Dao Li Yuan (Member) #74, Mr. Brian L. Kennedy of Chico, California  Concurrently, Dr. Wong certified him as Ching Yi Kung Fu Association Black Belt and Lifetime Member #78.  Brian has just recently returned to the U.S. after living the past 15 years in Taiwan, and is an internationally recognized expert and author on the martial arts, Taoism (Daoism) and other aspects of Chinese culture. He first became interested in Taoism while a philosophy major at San Diego State University, where he specialized in Chinese philosophy and religion, and has maintained that interest over the years through scriptural study, meditation and martial arts. He and his wife Elizabeth Nai Jia Guo have written on Taiwanese Taoist temple culture for Kung Fu Tai Chi Magazine and for the Journal of Daoist Studies. They are currently working on a book that will discuss Taoist training manuals.  Brian has also written regular articles in Classical Fighting Arts magazine, Kung Fu Tai Chi magazine, and published one book on Chinese martial arts history - Chinese Martial Arts Training Manuals: A Historical Survey. His second book, which should be published this year, will be titled The Jing Wu Association: A Pictorial History of the School that Saved Kung Fu. Several of his articles are now posted on the Ching Yi Kung Fu Association Articles and Glossaries page at http://www.chingyikungfu.com/.

Parr, III of Florida were unanimously elected by the current Dao Li Shi to become Dao Li Shi #18 and #19, respectively.  Dan is one of our ¡§original group¡¨ of Ching Yi Kung Fu Association practitioners from the 1970s in Norman, Oklahoma, and has maintained his study of the martial arts and Taoism consistently since then.  He holds a Bachelor¡¦s Degree from the University of Oklahoma and works in the field of network programming, primarily as a consultant.  For the past 6 years he has focused on mobile Java programs to communicate medical data via the Internet, with an emphasis on patient health rather than on disease.  In addition to his martial arts practice, concentrated mostly on T¡¦ai Chi Chuan, Dan spends his free time studying advanced network applications and exploring Taoist texts.  Edward Parr is a native of Rhode Island, now living in Florida with his wife, internationally acclaimed Chinese dancer Shirley Gao Lee.  His education and career are in the field of chemistry.  Edward also has a diverse martial arts background including Karate, Taekwondo, Shaolin and Internal Chinese Kung Fu, and was awarded Ching Yi Kung Fu Association Black Belt # 61 in 2002.  It is with great pleasure that we announce the appointment of these two gentlemen to the position of Dao Li Shi.  Congratulations!

 

15 December 2004:  We are also pleased to announce the addition of two new Dao Li Yuan (Members), further broadening the international scope of the Dao Li Jiao. During a recent trip to Indonesia, Dr. Wong named brothers and successful Indonesian businessmen Mr. Royson Lyman and Mr. Osbert Lyman to become Dao Li Yuan #32 and #33.  According to Dr. Wong, Royson Lyman has studied Taoist philosophy and meditation for years and gained a great deal of understanding of the Way.  Osbert is a martial arts enthusiast who studied T¡¦ai Chi Chuan from a student of the legendary Cheng Man-Ching, and is now practicing Hsing Yi Chuan and Pa Kua Tsang that he learned from Dr. Wong.  Messrs. Lyman are the owners of Tropik Energi Indonesia, an oil exploration and production company, and Dr. Wong is planning to return to Indonesia next year to work with them as a consulting geologist. Welcome Royson and Osbert!

 

7 November 2004: The Dao Li Jiao continues to grow as a truly international organization with the addition of our 31st Dao Li Yuan (Member), Dr. Mohammad I. Tianero of Saudi Arabia.  Dr. Tainero is the Founder and Chairman of the Board of World Organizer of Martial Arts, which is recognized by martial arts bodies worldwide including the World Soke Head Council of Japan International Council of Masters and Grandmasters. In addition to his martial arts background, Dr. Tianero is a scholar and philosopher of the highest order. He holds two Ph.D. degrees and is the founder of the Philosophers Institute of Learning; a member of the The International Society for Philosophers; The Philosophical Society of England, Department of Philosophy, University of Sheffield, UK; as well as an active member of numerous other educational and philosophical organizations in Europe and the United States.  With such a diverse background and deep understanding of philosophical inquiry, he will undoubtedly make exceptional contributions to our research into the Way of Reason.   It is an honor to welcome Dr. Muhammad I. Tianero to the Dao Li Jiao.

 

13 February 2004: It is with great pleasure that we announce that our 30th Dao Li Yuan (Member), Mr. Robert I. Jung of Houston, has joined the Dao Li Jiao.  Dr. Wong has known Mr. Jung for over 28 years, and received a letter yesterday in which Mr. Jung expressed his desire to join us in researching the Way of Reason.  Born in Wushi, Kiangsu Province, China in 1927, Mr. Jung moved to Sichuan Province during World War II, then to Taiwan with the Nationalist Government. In the 1960s, he and his wife immigrated to the U.S. where he achieved a Masters Degree in Engineering from Kansas State University. Today, Mr. Jung is still working as a successful engineer in the private sector, and he and his wife have four children and 7 grandchildren.  Welcome, Mr. Jung!

 

9 February 2004: The Dao Li Jiao is honored to welcome Dao Li Yuan number 29, Dr. Mark Van Schuyver of Atlanta. Mark is one of our ¡§original¡¨ group of Ching Yi Kung Fu practitioners from the 1970s in Norman, Oklahoma, holds CYKFA Black Belt # 15, still does Tai Chi and meditation regularly, and is getting back into the other Internal Arts.  He is a published author whose books include ¡§Secrets of Championship Karate¨ Fighting Strategies of Muay Thai: Secrets of Thailand's Boxing Camps,¨ and a third Krabi-Krabong, Thailand Art of War,¡¨ soon to go to press. For the past several years he has also been studying Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with Professor Jacare¡ Cavalcanti. In addition to his consulting firm in training and organizational development, Mark also teaches as an Adjunct Professor at Mercer University and Shorter College. He and his wife Dessa have 6 children and 4 grandchildren. Welcome, Mark!

 

20 December 2003:  The annual election of Dao Li Shi (Scholars of the Tao) was held in December, and we are honored to add two new Dao Li Shi to the Dao Li Jiao, both elected by a unanimous vote of the current 15 Dao Li Shi.  First is Mrs. Jin Jing CHANG (Liu), wife of Dr. Ching Fu LIU, Dao Li Shi #4. Mrs. Chang, who was born into a Taoist family and has a broad background in Taoist and Confucian philosophy, becomes Dao Li Shi #16.  Mr. Yuan Wei LI, a geophysicist of the Chinese Petroleum Corporation, has practiced internal style Kung Fu for many years, and takes his place as Dao Li Shi #17.  Both Mrs. Chang and Mr. Li currently reside in Taiwan.

December 2003:  Also this month, we welcomed two new Dao Li Yuan (Members) into the organization.  They are Mrs. Shi Ling PAI (Chen) and her husband Mr. Rong Chi CHEN.  Mrs. PAI is the niece of Dao Li Jiao Founder and Zong Shi, Dr. Her Yue Wong, and the daughter of Mr. Chang Chuan PAI, Dao Li Shi #14.  She is a graduate of the Chinese Culture University in Taiwan with a major in sociology, and currently works as the Director of Personnel in a district office of the Taipei City government.  She learned of the Dao Li Jiao during a recent visit to Houston and Washington, D.C. with her daughter, and immediately expressed an interest in gaining membership for herself and her husband.  Mr. Rong Chi Chen is a retired manager who graduated from the Chinese Culture University with a degree in Business Management.  We are all extremely pleased to welcome Mr. and Mrs. Chen to the Dao Li Jiao!

5 APRIL 2003:  Dr. Wong and his wife Su Yun recently returned from a trip to Hong Kong, Hainan, Haikou, Sanya, and Yalong Bay.  In Taiwan, Dr. Wong met with Dao Li Jiao Members there and discussed his physical achievements attained through meditation.  We welcome one new Dao Li Yuan (Member) from Taiwan who joined us during that trip.  Mr. Hai Yang LO, who owns a vegetarian restaurant there, applied for Membership after witnessing a demonstration of Dr. Wong's Qi (Ch'i) skills.  Mr. Lo is age 50 and a graduate of National Taiwan University, now living and working in northern Taiwan.  Welcome, Mr. Lo!  Also, Dr. Wong reports that two natives of Mainland China now living in Houston have expressed an interest in becoming Members of the Dao Li Jiao and may join us soon.  We will keep you posted as our organization continues to grow.

21 DECEMBER 2002:  As mentioned in a previous posting, the 2002 election of two new Dao Li Shi (Scholars of the Way of Reason) was held right on schedule, and the results are in.  Mr. Chang Chuan Pai is Dao Li Shi #14 and Lt. Col. Bruce Bethers is Dao Li Shi #15.  We are indeed fortunate to have two such distinguished gentlemen join us as Dao Li Shi.

Mr. Pai is a native of Fujian Province in Mainland China, now living in northeastern Taiwan.  He has written several volumes of Yilan local history, a book on the origin and evolution of Taoism, and a another on the Taoist Gods of Taiwan.  He has 4 sons and 3 daughters, all with families of their own.  He has retired from his career as a school teacher and now lives with his eldest son who is a medical doctor.  In addition to his accomplishments in academia, Mr. Pai also pursues his interests in calligraphy, music and painting. 

Bruce Bethers is a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army, holds advanced academic degrees, and is an internationally recognized master of the martial arts with over 40 years experience.  In addition to his other achievements in the arts, he was certified as a Black Belt Instructor in the Ching Yi Kung Fu Association upon its founding over 30 years ago.  More information on his extraordinary career and his contributions to the martial arts can be found at http://www.usjujitsu.net/bio/bethers/index.htm. 

JULY 2002:  The new certificates for all Dao Li Yuan (Members) arrived from China and Dr. Wong started issuing them at the end of the month.  Each certificate bears the Twin Dragon and Eight Trigram symbol of the Dao Li Jiao, along with the Member¡¦s name, place of residence, date of Membership, and a description of the tenets of the organization, all written in both Chinese and English.  They are then signed and sealed by Dr. Wong with his personal seal and with the jade seal of the Dao Li Jiao contributed by Dao Li Shi Mr. Chen Hsiun Mao of Taipei.
