RyukyuTe Kempo – From Iron Body to Hidden Hand The Complete Two-Phase Art of Okinawa’s Warrior Tradition by Kenryu Hayek, Iemoto of Musashi Shibata-ryu Kojutsu For seventy years the world only saw half the art. They saw teenagers in heavy bogu armor trading full-power punches for twenty minutes straight. They saw children laughing through games and beach clean-ups. They saw tough, polite black belts who never lost a fight. They never saw what happened after the doors were locked and the lights went down. Behind those doors waited the forbidden half: The complete Naihanchi triad (Shodan, Nidan, Sandan) exactly as palace bodyguards used them - The six ancient kyusho “death gates” and their mandatory revival methods - Tuite joint destruction that leaves no bruises for a coroner - Palace kobudo never filmed or sold - Red-glove bogu where one mistake ends in unconsciousness This is the first book to tell the entire unbroken story, from 1947 Teruma beach where a teenage Oyata earned the trust of the last top-knotted bushi, to 2025 when Kenryu Hayek and the 19th-generation Musashi Shinobi Clan formally joined the lineage. Written for three audiences: Parents and new students who want the hardest, most character-building youth program on earth (Phase One) - Veteran black belts ready for the hidden palace curriculum (Phase Two) - Historians and serious martial artists who demand documented lineage, photographs, and first-hand accounts Includes: The exact 1952–1980 public curriculum (40 kihon, Pinan, Naihanchi Shodan, bogu rules) - Step-by-step revelation of the forbidden triad, kyusho, tuite, and kobudo - Practical guidelines to keep both the Dirty Hand and Clean Hand alive in your dojo today “If you only ever read one book on real Okinawan karate, this is it. The circle that began with two old men and a boy on a beach in 1947 has finally come home.” – Kenryu Hayek, Iemoto Musashi Shibata-ryu Kojutsu / Shuseki Shihan RyukyuTe Kempo
