WANIKAN
RYU Combat
Karate for military purposes |
WANIKAN RYU Country: Italy Founder: Soke Marco
BANDIOLI 5th Dan Karate (Rhee-Ha: Shorei-Ryu
Gojukan / Toyama-Ha: Shudokan)
and Kobudo specialist; 1st Dan Judo; (WBBB Karate International Master, awarded as
5°Dan and bestowed as Renshi). Crest (temporary): Alligator Head (the Alligator is
the internationally recognized as a symbol for Amphibious Forces). Meaning: Wani=Alligator,
Wanikan Ryu= the
style/school of the alligator. Year of creation: 2003. Ancestors: Shotokan-Ryu,
Goju-Ryu, Judo,Kyokushinkai,
Enshin-Karate Sabaki
method and Mixed Martial Arts. The Style: the style has its deep roots in
Japanese tradition (Shotokan, Goju-Ryu, Judo). This
tradition, of course, has been carried on in the style…. but absorbing and
adapting forms and techniques from other martial arts influences (Karate Kyokushinkai, Enshin-Karate,
Mixed Martial Arts) to focus the style itself on military applications. Objectives: The style finds its origin in the “Senjo Karate” concept (“Karate for the battlefield” concept)
and it is specifically fitted for Sailors, Amphibious troops and Special Forces
involved in those military operations (Boarding Operations, Maritime Security
Operations, Antipiracy Operations) in which the fighting could take place in tactical
different situations and in confined areas or cramped places ….demanding, for that reason, special “close quarter
battle” skills. In that perspective, a little group of Navy Officers and Army
Warrant Officers, coming from different martial arts training and
experiences, created, by their own, a compact-compendium of techniques in
order to develop an “oriented” karate style (quite a “Karate system“) specially tailored for aboard force protection
tasks and amphibious missions: the “Wanikan Ryu”, precisely. Because of a continue and constant
training cannot be practicable by a military unit engaged in operational
activity (with very limited time available to devolve all those activities
not specifically related to the assigned mission) a great importance is given
to initial tough training in order to guarantee to the fighter a high level
of efficiency over time and permanent lethality, with a mimimum
of “maintenance activities”. Techniques: techniques performed
provide a wide spectrum of different combat situations and different
operating environments: long range and short range fighting, close quarter
combat, “percuotaneus techniques” (to strike and
break down), “flaming techniques” (to ground, block, immobilize, fracture,
strangle), techniques to be performed wearing different equipment and assets,
in low visibility, under rain or with uneven terrain, in confined spaces and against
armed enemies. |

Watashi No Ryū Karate Do Watashi No Ryū Karate-do
is a highly effective system of self defense, a
proven method of attaining peak physical conditioning, and a martial art form
which can enhance and enrich one's Way of
Life. The Watashi No Ryū Karate Do logo is a vibrant tree growing within a
circle. The branches are sheltering the Hidari Gomon, an ancient symbol of traditional Okinawan
Karate. The logo embodies the Watashi No Ryū motto "Rooted in Tradition, Growing Toward Self
Realization & Expression".
In English,
Watashi No Ryū Karate-do
means "My Way of the Empty Hand". Since everyone's body and
personality is unique, everyone truly has his or her own style. It is helpful
to have a solid grasp of basic techniques as a beginner. This is similar
to learning the ABCs. Following
the ancient ways of original Okinawan Karate, a very simple ranking system is
observed in Watashi No Ryū.
There are only two colors of belts; White which denotes a beginner, and black
which denotes a person who has learned the basics and is now considered a
serious student. A 1st degree black belt is awarded only to those who have
spent 10 years in training. A 2nd degree for 20 years, a 3rd degree for 30
years, and so on. However, in Watashi No Ryū, humility is a
key virtue. It's good to remember that even a black belt can learn from a
beginner. As we learn
the stances, strikes, blocks, and kicks we also learn a philosophy
and moral code. In today's world of political uncertainty, street crime, and
fears of terrorism, it is too easy to focus entirely on physical techniques,
self-defense applications, and the physical performance of karate. Watashi No Ryū reminds us
of the true nature of karate: it is a Way of life. http://worldclassproductionz.com/watashi_no_ryu_karate.html |
