Quietude is the Key The Dark is also another Key People often covet many things and lie in wait for opportunities to present themselves and try to take advantage of these lapses. This style is somewhat like that lying in wait waiting for the right moment the difference is justice and righteousness vice greed or covet ness. Words really cannot explain this type of action it has to be practiced earned and subsequently applied in order to understand what is being said. Next one must also develop their inner and outer senses i.e., hearing. One must have a good range of hearing and be able to filter out unwanted sounds and be able to interpret these sounds to one's advantage. The so-called summoning technique is one example. The ability to summon certain types of energies to accomplish a task is important to learn. But again words cannot describe completely how this theory works. These are used to quickly subdue an enemy or to change a situation around to benefit the user or others in distress. In modern times the House of Kobushi came from the Sung Dynasty and the development of the (32) energies. There are (6) phases also to learn the monkey fist or deception techniques and the energy's they possess. Every single technique used in this style must be understood thoroughly in order to use them. One should also research the Onke and its (72) associated techniques which is termed an esthetic fist way, the (36) connecting or chain techniques (24) discarding horse techniques, (8) flashing or flicking techniques, (12) short techniques. Next is the Roko or Red Backbone or hanging techniques used to maintain strength; however these stretching techniques must be practiced along with the chopping techniques associated with them. Next are the eastern mountain thigh or leg techniques, the arresting/counter to the 10,000 stumbling techniques and the Chokakukei no Cho or the Chokakukei Strike. Kobushi Ho also has the (3) corner law and ways of combining these laws with striking techniques. Now we come to Yo's spear law and Tomoe's (3) corner law, which are all know famous each has there own influences. Victory, what is in this term that man must always seek solace? To have too much victory would border on excess. When one does something must he always seek victory? Cannot something be done for the sake of doing and not expecting anything other than self-satisfaction of a job well done? With this idea in mind ones house could be run better but as tradition is passed down this idea maybe how the style became popular thru victory. May at some point it is needed but after while I think it is self-defeating. The law of Jyosan Daijin deals with attacks on the neck as that is where all energy is. In all cases all attacks should be directed at the neck area. This type of attack is always appropriate it is said. In summation the (3) Fist Laws, the sword, spear, other weapons, bow, sickle, push stones, are all different weapons used in different situations. There must be coordination between the mind, body and spirit there must be synchronization of all the entities in order to make the system of Kobushi Ho work. Kobushi Ho is the source for all arts. Now with this picture we have painted all it tells us that facets are dependent on each other in order to be effective. The secrets have been brought out into the light for all to see and review. It is hoped that all will see the scholar’s points of view and the value of what is written. There must be a. push to understand the secrets of life and its energies. Previously mentioned articles, techniques, and historical references have been talked about out corrected and re validated over the years. The limit of these techniques is based on the trial and error methods developed by the dedicated teachers, priests, students and other individuals loyal to the Kobushi Ho way. These techniques have been tried in battle and individual combat techniques over the decades. One must learn thru trial and error as mentioned above. Shyness vs Change Mysterious vs Change. This is inherent in all things no matter how different a show of strange talent which may seem queer or odd in some circles others it is a talent to be tapped, developed and utilized How ell it is used after proper training is based on the individual. What or when something is dealt with or by whatever means depends again on the individual. How is this successfully accomplished? Can anything be gained from defeat? Anything is possible. One must consider as much as possible the length of time it takes to develop certain techniques. Take for example the silent monk who took on the Red Scroll rebels and with one shout cleared the whole situation up. How he made the earth shook! Just one statement “I am Kinnara 0" Something to think about the mind, body, spirit theory has so much untapped potential. It is said that the enemy who hesitates can be put down easy. This type of technique some think is nothing more than tricking an opponent when using hesitation as an opening. This is actually not a true test of technique disagree? If once your opponent hesitates and this moment or lapse in concentration is not taken advantage of e5pecially in battle and even out of battle in common situations by not taking action could be mean disaster in any respect. In essence the enemy has won and you have lost. Even if you look at this as there is no such thing as winning or losing this is true but by showing another a different path to go by with out harm to others is good right? Personally by not seizing the moment one will loose. Each circumstances warrants different action , to fight a good battle is not always necessary though the accomplishment of technique is in how is not applied. In the old days it was said that technique was the man. Technique was paramount. It did then take great fortitude too develop good technique. However, the truth is in the individual faith not in how the technique was used. The author of the translation here is of the opinion is that there exists in all of us a Seniin or a Shinkai Ryusoto no Choken Chokobushi. Any particular style we develop we create our own good or evil. The ideology of this era was gradually changing. There were those out there who never abided by the laws and always sought evil as a pastime. Their law ruled within there own sphere though. Next we shall cover the Bubishi [Wu pei chih] In China there was a document known as the Heiho Sho or The Art of War Record. In the above-mentioned Kikishinsho which was an era of military writing and recording the Heihosho and the Kikoshinsho were two bright jewels during this era and were used extensively as guides for military planners. The author as of this publication knew that the Bubishi opened up a new era in the year 1621. Boengi the supposed author of the Bubishi during the opening of the Ming era was there during most military preparedness exercises, which involved the martial arts. Even though this era was a troubled one it moved on. The main point here is to explain some of the records surrounding this document and how it was brought to light. Some time after this edited version was released were many commentaries on some of the earlier claims on certain other arts and their validity. The Bubishi by Boengi’s was established as a valid military record of war or strategists or planners. Another individual Bokon who was a Fukien government envoy who was Boengi's grandfather was also a renowned military planner during many campaigns and had much input to the Bubishi. He was also known for his many private seminars he gave to many soldiers on the art of war When Boengi was 15 years of age he had already finished the Bubishi which was in (5) sections encompassing 240 volumes and was broken down follows: Section 1 Heiketsuhyo (Comments on Secret Soldiers Vol's 1 18) Section 2 Senryaku (Strategy Treatise Vol's 19 51) Section 3 Chinrensei (Experience of the Training System Vol's 52 92) Section 4 Gunshi (Information on Material War Reserves Vol's 93 147) Section 5 Sendo (Extent and Effect of Occupation Operations Vol's 148 240) These are but general classifications but of interest are the Senjin To & Chiju or Battle Plan Map, which detail the Martial Arts, Guns or Armaments in the form of illustrations. These were detailed in the ancient and modern soldiering. During the Manchu era there were many anti government activities ongoing and these groups need resources in order to survive. But in most cases the resources were controlled by the government and monitored closer than before whereas before people could get access to these resources no problem but with these activities flaring up nothing was obtainable thru normal channels without abiding by strict controls both in use and purpose. This included government records, which gave detailed access to the military and their training and readiness capabilities. Within the Bubishi's volumes there were (5) laws dealing with the Teichuto, (3) laws dealing with the Kobushi Kaiho Senchu or the Kobushiu Ho, (3) Law Clear Sect. There were also (8) volumes dealing with Kobushi Kyogei or Kobushi Faith Crafts which were also mentioned in the Kiki Shinsho or the new writings of Kiko. Of the Kobushi Kyogei in the introduction it speaks of certain sutra’s that were of import during training. After that it talks of the Kobushi Ho Kata and the 32 energies or influences in the form of illustrations of which some were looked at earlier and more will be looked at in later pages. BUBISHI NO KOBUSHI HO JORON- Of the preface mentioned earlier we dealt with the laws of Kobushi Ho. These laws are very important to remember and read about in detail as they depict how ones life should managed. It is also mentioned in the Kiko Shinsho. KIKO KINSHO- Some of the writings in the Kobushi Ho Joron or preface are redundant. But the thought is thru repetition one will remember and learn. Some of the following quotes may have already been expounded on like the explanatory diagrams. They are best explained with picture and verbiage in order to allow the reader a better view. Especially important are (32) influences plus the (24) techniques. This effort will be seen again in the next set of pictorials with explanatory notes. The truth about these techniques and their secret literature will be explained in each note following the picture. The original text in Chinese is explained so as to make it clear to the reader what is being talked about so a clear comparison can be seen. One must also experiment with these techniques in order to understand their applications and uses of influences of power. The Kobushi Ho legends must also be compared to these narratives in order to gain some sort of proper perspective. The next set of data prepared is a story based on the term Kobushi or the Fist. The source is based on a The American Harvard University Historical Records. Kobushi In literature it is difficult to explain the laws that surround the use of the fist. There is great power inherent in the use of these laws surrounding the fist and its peculiar techniques. One of the basic laws is the understanding of nature. However, to write details on this is difficult. It is something that has to be experienced rather that written about. The idea though is one of peace and harmony. The other is justice and righteousness. One must meditate on the fist and its properties. All of mans avaricious must be eliminated in order for the fist way to work properly. One must know when to draw the line in its use and methods. One must never rush headlong into this idea of the fistway. Its like riding a wild horse it takes time to tame the mind, body, and spirit and harnessing the influences in order to make this system work. There is good information in the Kiki Shinsho about Kobushi Ho. It also warns against imitating any of basics, models or influences. It takes serious study to master these techniques and their ways. This is especially so when in battle. One must always keep a fluidity or harmony with the hands and feet. When one enters a school to learn the fist way the main point stressed is one must have extensive knowledge of body basics. The fist way is convenient but with without learning the proper basics one will achieve nothing. I also believe that the leg law is under rated and more emphasis should be place on its techniques. The legs for example or used to repel and used with discretion. The thighs and its uses with the rest of leg must also be understood as they apply to offensive/defensive techniques. The mysteries of the earth or nature must be understood and how the interplay with the fist and the leg. The strength one must develop in order to pierce or penetrate with the hand or foot is very important to develop and used properly. Techniques like the horizontal and vertical hand strikes and their basics are paramount in this style. These techniques will serve the user well if used properly. The selection of a hand technique and its uses whether hard or soft righteous or flash techniques is very important especially when applying different power techniques with the strike so one must have intimate knowledge of power and its influences in order to deal with a variety of opponents. Re direction of another influence in non concordance hangs in the balance here. The names, minuteness to detail and the names of these movements may appear strange but they have a purpose. The timing is important here especially before and after the strike. Also the idea of quietude is important to master. These techniques can even be practiced in the dark. Those who emit negativity will be seen in their Wa whether it is light or dark. This negativity can be identified and used against an opponent. One must no and practice the basics well. Once the meaning is understood of the basics then the development of the spirit can begin. One must shun the mundane and once this is done the techniques will follow, as they should. One must both sides of the coin of Kobushi-Ho the light and dark sides. The righteous way can be very fast like a thunderbolt. But one must not stumble or be clumsy along the way. Never over extend ones talents. Always mask your intent with your Wa or spirit even while on the edge. The improper assession of a situation can be reason for failure. This is especially so when one goes into a situation with poor planning or fore thought. Negativity must be eliminated. In order for a technique or an attack to be successful one must stand tall in the face of adversity, study under a good teacher and possess the standard basics required of good techniques which commanded esteem among fellow students, seniors, and teachers alike. This will enable the adept to expand his thought processes. Many people who want to learn cannot because they try to hard. One ceases to learn or try then the insight will manifest itself. That was how it was taught in the old days. Even in the Sung era the (32) ways of the fist had to be properly learned. The monkey fist is the luring fist. The influences it takes to properly learn this fist way is very difficult therefore one must study long and hard to master these techniques. Of the 36 techniques, which comprise they Way (24) of the techniques were discarded. But after a while they were re-looked at and for possible re-introduction into the system again (8) of these techniques were flashing or guarding techniques and (11) of them are short strike techniques. Then there are the backbone or red techniques which consist of (8) techniques. The techniques were used to strengthen the backbone. There are several other techniques i.e., East Mountain Technique, Plum Technique, Semi-Heavenly Technique plus several thigh or leg techniques. There were also bird techniques emulating the hawk, which were used for arresting and capturing an enemy. Of the thousands of techniques some granted are better than others but they are all based on virtuous or righteous ideals in Shorin-ji and can be thought of as a three cornered style supported by three pillars. When these come together anything is possible. The spear laws also play an important role in this theory. It was almost as important as the fist way. However, each possession had its price. Each instructor had basics in most other arts but only placed priority on one. It appeared they had knowledge of many things but not in anything particular this was the ultimate deception for most and that his how they hid their talents and their way. To possess something was to have nothing according to the Tao. Study under an approved teacher in order to see the real way. This way students were taught properly in an correct environment. The idea of negativity was also an important issue taught by the teachers to the students. Errors can surface during training and combat that can detract one from the problem at hand. This could prove to be fatal. When the student is young it is important to instill the right virtues. That is why a mountain area is conducive to training a body proper. When training amidst nature one can learn many things. By learning the snake positions one can learn these principles inherent in nature. The snakes attacked is predicated on two fronts the head and the tail. Either one can inflict or entrap its prey. The whole concept is based on the (3) cornered fist sword way. Some of the items of import here in learning the way can be applied to these arts as well So the spear, Sa or the hairpin, Kunka or the metal tomoe or comma, Ken the sword, Hoho or the Halberd, Kyu or the Bow, Ko the hook or barb, and the Kama or sickle. The first activity of the first law is the harnessing of the mind, body, and spirit principle. Thru this influence the rest of the motor principles will fall in place. Kobushi-Ho changed very little as was when presented in the Bubishi’s preface. The art of war in reference to hand-to-hand combat during times of war was best explained in Chinshu O no Kobushi-Ho Ron or the discussion of Kobushi-Ho by Chinshu O. This gentleman is considered by some as a legend. But who knows. Chinshu O existed according to historians and was a very talented literary and marital expert. He lived from the end of the 2nd century in to the middle of the 3rd century. His discourse on Kobushi-Ho was well known and read by most everyone. His information on theories and practice of this old art is very informative. His discussion of Chinese Kobushi-Ho and its founder Daruma Dai-Shi are also well known and still talked about. His writings eventually became martial law. Since Daruma Dai-Shi’s travels abroad some 200 years ago Chinese Kobushi-Ho has gone thru considerable re-organization and has been expanded in many areas. This was done though in gradual phases with much deliberation.
There were (13) volumes written on this subject and are the oldest known volumes ever written next to the Hei-Ho or soldier way writings which were authored by Confucius during the era (Kigenzen B.C. 500 shortly before and after) during the late Chou and Haru Aki era’s. In Shantung Province from whence came most martial arts people during the 100 years warring states era there was a martial artist named Sonbin who was said to have been involved in training the many descendants of Kobushi and Jajin-Ho. There were many of this style who were pursued and had to go into hiding. There numbers in this organization were gradually growing. There strength in numbers and in martial prowesswere legendary. There were (11) other volumes on Kyuchi (Records of Kyuchi), Kyuchi no Ho no Goetsu Doku no Kei or (The Laws and Strategies of Kyuchi). His tactics were also legendary and are written about in the sacred texts. This information must also be researched thoroughly. Another short Chinese Translation;
it comparisons are all based on proper training in soldiering and the Martial Arts. This information is based on a percentile of the most seasoned soldiers trained in military and the fist way to include Kobushi-Ho and Jajin-Ho.
technique is based on many sophisticated hand techniques. The snake strikes with head, tail and middle areas. These strikes are based on that premise.
posturing among the troops. To show your self as the leader and use your hands and head in a proper manner will command respect from your soldiers. One must also provide for ones soldiers and help protect them from evil. This is the for on land battles or sea battles. In battle a good commander ensures his troops are taught hand to hand combat well and the use of both hands and feet as an arsenal. Ones footing is just as important as hand techniques. One must also train the troops in different kinds of strengths. There is both the hard and soft styles each type is different. To have soldiers properly trained in hand and foot techniques using proper power influences in conjunction with a combined mind, body, spirit attitude is the proper way to work your soldiers into an effective fighting force.
in this type of art the Jajin-Ho was to be able to strike quickly and suddenly. This type of attack was using the hand like the snakes tail as the weapon. The head was a preferred striking area. There was also a middle area which was secondary using the same strike as with the head. This type of attack was unusual in that most people or soldiers never expected it so there was no immediate defense against it. The trained person awaited the rushing headlong soldier and struck them down with unerring accuracy. The hands also had to specially conditioned to use this type of strike.

OKINAWA NI tsutawaru - BUBISHI Information as circulated on Okinawa about the Bubishi To begin with the Chinese Ming era book of soldiering or the Ming Hei-Ho was developed to properly train their troops and was continually being fine-tuned as was every writing coming thru the Ming era scribes. During the Taisho era in Japan [1912 (1915) - 1926] and into the Showa era the Bubishi was still being used. They used this text and even added material to it to make it era specific. In the Okinawan legends the Bubishi and its applications were applicable but the weaknesses and strength issues that were in contention because of the modernization’s of the new military machine. This was being worked by the then Showa party chief Fukuchi Seiki Kyoshi a learned Samurai stationed at the Naha City Palace. His skill in Kobushi-Ho was also legendary. Fukuchi Kyoshi and his honored teacher Hikasei Koso Sensei of the Kyujo or Imperial Palace was in possession of an original Bubishi in the original pen & ink brush strokes. From this he transcribed a complete new copy with changes implemented from the new era to match the existing one. According to Okinawan legend in this document the authors name is recorded duley along with the publishing house name. However, the validity of this document is in question on with is changed details. Most of the references in this book are obscure at best. During the time of the learned Samurai Fukuchi Kyoshi there was another teacher of interest To On no Kanryo Sensei who was married to a descendent of Fukuchi’s who resided at the Kyujo or Imperial Palace. Chojun Sensei the Palaces teacher during the fourth year of the Taisho era in Fukien Province in the city of Fuchow this sensei is spoken about all the time within in the Imperial Court. During the 11th year of the Showa era in an upper area coastal region a group of people wanted to deliver a religious present to the palace as a gift showing obeisance. Another note on the Okinawan legends is the Boengi, which was part of the Ming era historical records, which was also part of the Bubishi. It was an entire separate record but its contents were suspect but many feel it’s a valuable tool for verifying the Bubishi. Lets look at Fukien Shorin Hakukaku Mon Ka or the Fukien Shorin White Crane Fist Way. This way had many forms and styles. Its manipulative style was a good tool for those soldiers who used it wisely. Of all the forms of Bujutsu this one was on in a class all its own. The founder of the Hakukoku Kobushi-Ho was a man named Hoesaki and his daughter Hoshiji Jyo. He had authority to teach Shorin Kobushi-Ho. He and his daughter though were working on perfecting a new system based on the white crane. From her father and the old legends she developed this new system, which they titled “ Hakukaku Kobushi” or the White Crane Fist Way. From this effort one singular style emerged and was accepted. Hakukaku Kobushi is still practiced today on the island of Taiwan were it first appeared long ago. Taiwan in fact has one of the largest schools of this type in the world. BUBISHI The Bubishi will be outlined next. Here is a breakdown of its contents.

Other sections deal with medicine manufacturing, its uses in the soldier’s realm. There is mention of those who took ship passage during the war to gain knowledge of the martial arts. There is also the mention of the Karate-Do Kyohan, which was published during the 33rd year of the Showa era. Other supplements are also of interest and should be looked at as they deal with Kobushi-Ho and the (8) laws. These ancient laws are important in there is a chapter dealing with strengths and weaknesses, Buddhism and its sources, Okinawan Legends, the Bubishi, Kyuju Chojun and its groups, name christening and the authorities. But the two of interest again art strength/weaknesses and breath concealment. From the Okinawan legends in the Bubishi talks about the (4) negative peace illnesses, the fist style laws, medical illnesses, their causes and cures and Kobushi-Ho exercises. Information on Shorin-ji Denryu no Kobushi-Ho Yakuku Shorin-ji legends and Kobushi-ho Medicine are very important to understand. The addition of science to this fist way is very important in that one must know self defense but one must also know how to cure as well. One must know how to bind wounds and administer medicines much like a rescurer. He must know the human body, its functions and interrelationships to administer any type cure. When reading about Shorei-ji Ryu they talk of knowing blood chemistry or blood medicines. They also talk of the (6) strikes, which can affect the blood and its flow. They teach the open hand strikes, which cure as well as harm and can do so without looking. Some as mentioned before can be fatal or deadly. The power behind these strikes is also important to understand as well as administer. One must have intimate knowledge of a wide variety of plants and herbs used to heal and change body chemistry. Meiji no Kobushi Seishi Shian Ko (Meiji era Kobushi Saint) During the 41st year of the Meiji era the middle schools opened up Taiiku or physical education teaching the fist way and some of the associated arts. From this writers opinion the Okinawan Prefecture Office of Educational Affairs presented the old style “To Te” and its articles. To Te was taught originally with Ju-Butsu Confucianism and Buddhism as was in ancient times. Shorin-Ryu and Shorei-Ryu were also talked about. At that time there were many groups from China and from these old groups each one has grown and developed into their own style. The original basics were preserved so as to keep the style pure. It was at first kept in seclusion. Once the two final groups came about Shorin-Ryu and Shorei-Ryu and their original teachings more people became interested. The teachers and their comments about the two groups and their names are covered in detail in the Bubishi. The teacher of Shorin-Ryu and Shorei-Ryu took hold and made the systems what they are today. During the Meiji era this art was not talked about out of the Shorin circles. Schools like the Hakukaku Kobushi-Ho or the White Crane Fist Way was also taught in secret because of the prohibitive laws that prevented direct transmission. But know that it is in the open even the locations in China’s Fukien Province are known about where Shorin-ji and Shorei-ji were taught. The Okinawan Bubishi during the Meiji era as previously discussed states that the White Crane Fist was taught outside its normal channels. The schools they were very well organized. Since then Shorin and Shorei-Ryu were taught based on Shishu’s To Te style and his (10) articles. Okinawa had two major styles, schools or systems of Karate during the old days Shuri-Te and Naha-Te. The trend was to create one traditional style. The need also was for one functional head or master teacher. The leader was needed for the Shorei-Ryu or Naha-Te and the Shorin-Ryu or Shuri-Te systems with one leader and one style name. The discussions then were matters of titles based on grammatics or semantics. This helped shape the change. Some thought this was still wrong in that the names as they came from China needed to be changed to reflect Okinawan heritage and style thus the changes to Shorin-Ji and Shorin-Kobushi, which was the catalyst, which started it all. One this character Sho which means small or scarce was agreed upon a conclusion was finalized for the time being. The reason why this started was never known but the assumptions that the Chinese names had to be changed to reflect Okinawan heritage was the best I could think of. Byn taking the best of both and agreeing to the name change was sufficient. The idea of one group was put aside until after the war and then came the Okinawa no Karate-Kai in the form of Uechi-Ryu with one top person leading this group and creating his own manifesto. This was needed after the war to gel or make people one again with their martial heritage. When the state of affairs was jumbled during and after the war this was a welcome change. Note: According to the Shodensei a martial historical record Shorei-ji in Peking was called Chiyaorinshi and Shorin-Ji was called Shiyaorinshi. The names closely resembled each other and much hot debate came from these name changes. Many though became curious as to the reason for these changes. For example, Chiko Kobushi, Chito Kobushi, Hishu Kobushi, and Meisho Kobushi They all appeared the same character wise why? This particluar quandary was covered in another writing titled "Chugoku Bujutsu - Shorin Kobushi to Taikyoku Kobushi." It also spoke about the Okinawan school system for these styles and the teachers noted for teaching the traditional methods. It was stated that this was not true in that they were teaching traditional ways but it was a rumor. Simply put the information on this is inexhaustible. During the Meiji Taisho and the Showa era's particularly the pre-war days and extending into sensible times there were two big groups Shuri-Te or Shorin-Ryu and Naha-Te or Shorei-Ryu. Now from these they needed a leader with one voice. In doing so some other changes came about. For example, Shorin, Shorei became: Shorin, Shorei again grammatical writing changes to the characters. And they stayed this way for some time. According to the Okinawan legends from the Bubishi this change was for the good in that name changes were in the form of more beautiful characters. Before we spoke briefly about what seemed trivial in name changes. But according to the Bubishi the Name Shorei-ji appears as was scribed from Fukien Provincial records. This art also existed in China. It also notes its relationship to Hakukoku Kobushi-Ho by name and techniques. In the Bubishi why then the character change? It was named originally Shorei-ji Ryu. This became quite an enigma. In any case our leader’s systemization was as said before a test to see if their ideas would work. This is also recorded in the Bubishi. This discussion of these stories, facts, dates, etc all bring one to want to investigate more to find the real truth. According the Bubishi this is a delicate and dangerous matter in that one must read all this research data coupled with being taught by an experienced Okinawan teacher who instills in you good basics, mind, body, spirit mentality, and above benevolence and kindness to all mankind one may gain a different perspective of these arts and what their actual intent is. So in order to learn or know one must first learn about the self and the concrete results of proper training in Kobushi-Ho techniques. Also important are the (48) influences which support these techniques. Chapter V Opening of the Manchu Era and Shorin Ryu Kobushi Ho Ming Dai San Dai Shosetsu ni irareru Chugoku Bujtsu (Three novels of import on Chinese Bujutsu during the Ming Era) There are three pieces of Chinese literature available that talks of Chinese Bujutsu in detail. One was written during the Tang era (618 c. 907) in the form of poetry. Another was written during the Sung era (960 1279), and the final one during the Yuan era (Mongol c. 1280 1368). Of the three the Ming era is more easily understood and gives accurate state of affairs during the years indicated on the development and use of Chinese Bujutsu. The Ming era was prospering well during this age and China was developing into Busho or military type of nation based on the strategy of Botai or strategy planning body. Chugoku Bujutsu during the Ming era (1368 1662) there were three novels written in poetry form Shiengi, Suikoden, and Saiyuki. These novels set the standard for what was Bujutsu in China. These were all based on factual raw material gathered at the time based on input from various teachers, scholars and schools of martial thought. Some of the material is even based on legends. These novels should be sought out and read thoroughly and investigated before confronting others.
