Description

Yamanni-ryu (also Yamanni-Chinen-ryu or Yamane-ryu) is an Okinawan bojutsu (staff) style named after Chinen Masami's father Sanra Chinen, known as Yamani Usumei or Yamane Tanmei. It is a traditional, relatively unmodernized weapons style passed down privately; its most prominent modern practitioners were Chogi Kishaba, the only active instructor of the style in Okinawa, and his student Toshihiro Oshiro, who brought it to the United States. It is the technical foundation of the Ryukyu Bujutsu Kenkyu Doyukai (RBKD).
