RyuTe® RenMei is the public art of Taika Seiyu Oyata. This classical form of Okinawan karate incorporates the teachings of all three of the major styles of early Okinawan martial arts; Shuri-Te, Tomari-Te, and Naha-Te. The "textbook" for training lies in twelve empty-hand katas, passed down to Oyata by Shigeru Nakamura. Due to Taika's tireless efforts and early training opportunities with classical Okinawan and Chinese bushi (warriors), RyuTe is unique in it's approach to interpreting the movements and bunkai (applications) in these katas.
