Ryusui-Ryu is a school of martial arts founded in July 2006 by Sensei Dave Waters. Sensei Waters has derived the school after many years of study in different martial arts including karate, aikido, Iaido, judo, kyudo and wing chun. It a subtle blend of traditional karate and aikido with contributions from other martial arts techniques amalgamated together to form one style. It is completely non-competitive with an emphasis on relaxed, flowing movements.
The aikido, taught by Ueshiba Sensei, and the karate, which originated from mainly Shito-ryu and Goju-ryu styles, have been modified and blended into a unique mix to form Ryusui-Ryu.
The name means like flowing water†and this is exactly the emphasis placed on the application of the styles techniques, strikes and covers. The main elements of the style can be summarised as follows:
Tai-sabuki: Body movement is a key element of our style and is used extensively in both our Randori and Kumi-tai to allow us to develop a soft flowing approach to avoid strikes, holds and multiple attackers.
Techniques: Our techniques are applied in a soft and flowing manner. They are designed to be applied in response to close quarter attacks and comprise of controlling locks and throws.
