Some of you wonder why certain things are kept secret. This is not a “new” idea. Oyata Sensei once told me that if you tell eveyone then they will be equal and you will not have an advantage. With the idea, that you only teach those that are worthy and that have an interest. — One of Oyata’s teachers was Uehara Seikichi. Motobu-ryu — which is the royal martial art of Okinawa. One of Uehara’s top students was Shiroma Kiyonori — here is a copy of thier information note the last section: “Ryukyu Ancient Martial Arts/Maite Honbu Ryugassen Toride-kai is recruiting trainees. Tours and hands-on learning are welcome! This group was founded by the late Shiroma Kiyonori, a senior disciple of Maite Honbu style introduction poster Uehara Seikichi Sensei of the Ryukyu Royal Secret Martial Arts Headquarters Gotente . The characteristics are similar to Motobu Gotente. There are some techniques created by Mr. Kiyonori Shiroma. The technical system consists of taijutsu and weapon techniques. The main focus of the Maite Honbu style is to subdue the opponent without injuring the opponent as much as possible, whether using physical techniques or weapon techniques . Both Taijutsu and Weapon Techniques are basically relaxed and soft movements.
