Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book presents a technical and historical study of the seven animals preserved in the UechiRyu KarateDo lineage. Drawing on available documentation, regional context, and the internal mechanics of the system, it clarifies the origins, functions, and interrelationships of Tiger, Crane, Dragon, Leopard, Snake, Cobra, and Mantis. The work distinguishes between what is historically recorded and what must be inferred from technical evidence, offering a balanced account of how the system may have been shaped by Fujian martial culture, northern methods, southern coastal exchange, and possible Southeast Asian influences. The animals are examined not as separate styles, but as expressions of a unified method. Their qualities are traced through the kata, which serve as the primary vessel of transmission. The book concludes with an examination of amalgamation and continuity, showing how the animal concepts converge into a single, integrated approach to movement and training. Written in a clear, expository-narrative style, this work provides a grounded perspective on the structure, origins, and internal logic of the art. It is intended for practitioners, researchers, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the method transmitted through UechiRyu. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
