Yuuki Defensive Concepts Translation: “Yuuki” is
one of the seven virtues of Bushido that means “courage.” It is the guiding
principle of our approach to violence and conflict. Yuuki
means brave, courageous energy. Country: USA Founder: Brandon Torrellas Year of Creation: 2012 Logo Meaning: The Yuuki
logo is comprised of 3 parts, signifying the relationship between mind, body,
and spirit. Its colors are Red, White, and Black. Red, the color of blood,
signifies the heightened awareness necessary to successfully emerge from
violent conflict, and is a respectful reminder of the consequences of
violence. White, found in the center, signifies the Yuuki
practitioner’s purity of intention in using the martial arts. Black represents
the lethal reality of combative techniques properly employed, and is located
on top of the other colors as to show that only with a foundation of pure
intention and heightened awareness can one truly embody Yuuki.
The red mitsudomoe is the background of the Yuuki logo, and is associated with Hachiman, the Shinto
god of war, and later with the samurai. It pays homage to the Ryu-Kyu origins of many Yuuki
techniques, and represents the body, for which martial training is the
foundation of defense. The black bamboo is the symbol of the Vietnamese
people and represents adaptability and gentle strength. It is also a sign of
respect to the founder’s master, who was Vietnamese. The flexible yet strong
bamboo is an analogy for the mind of the Yuuki
student, which must move freely with the currents of circumstance, while
remaining strong and firmly rooted. The black kanji for “Yuuki”
comprises the final part of the logo, and represents spirit. Just as Master
Funakoshi said, “Spirit first, technique second,” so too must the Yuuki student remember that through the embodiment of
samurai courage, proper techniques will present themselves in the heat of the
moment. It is the combination of these factors, and the concepts that they
represent that is the foundation for the Yuuki
approach to violence and conflict. Style Motto: “Courage to Defend, Skills to
Prevail.” Goals: The goal of Yuuki
is to instill the mindset needed to survive dangerous encounters, along with
the skills needed to emerge unharmed. Yuuki firmly
believes that the individual is his own best teacher. Combative training is a
mirror, and only through real dedication to the deeper ideal of Yuuki, can a student achieve real proficiency, and the
peace that comes from knowing oneself intimately. Background of System: Yuuki
is a system that focuses on combative applications of traditional Shotokan, Aiki-jutsu, Jujutsu, and Wing Chun through careful
examination of the concepts presented in kata, and in traditional practice.
It is primarily Japanese in its foundations, but also incorporates Filipino
close range weapon concepts, along with vital point striking taken from
Chinese traditional medicine. However, Yuuki is
open to all valid interpretations defensive concepts, regardless of origin. Description: A straightforward system of combative
movement that employs strikes, joint locking, throws, vital point striking,
and weapons for street self-defense. Yuuki students
develop the proper mentality to deal with, and survive, violent conflict. Website: www.yuukidefense.com
