SHUSHIWA
For:OKINAWA BUJUTSU HOZON KAI
The name Pan Gai Noon came from the two styles of Chinese boxing from which it derived. The first, Southern Shaolin Fist, consisted of hard body training and was primarily offensive; emphasis was placed on fingertip (nukite) training. Practitioners were known for having fingers like iron. The second, Eishun Fist, was a soft style known for its defensive skills. Shushiwa is believed to have combined the two styles to create a system that used hard techniques for offense and soft techniques for defense. The single-knuckle punch (shoken or ipponken), spear-hand strike (nukite), pointed-toe kick (sokusen) and circle block (wauke), are signature moves of Pangainoon.
Legend attributes Shushiwa with great strength. He reportedly could hold the weight of two men hanging from the fingertips of his outstretched arms. He also taught Chinese medicine and was an accomplished painter and calligrapher. Shushiwa was renowned for his physical prowess and he balanced his “hard” work with “soft” pursuits, including calligraphy – some businesses in Fuchow still have signs purportedly painted by Shushiwa.
Shushiwa stood as other patriotic Chinese in secret societies, in conjunction with the Qing Dynasty and the overthrow Ming dynasty back to power would bring. He earned his living with the manufacture of herbal medicine and alleged that the son of a farmer. They found out, however, that it is identical to the priest Sosei from a temple at Nansei. His teacher was Jizen, a famous martial arts expert. Sosei was accused of subversive activities by the Manchurian authorities searched and lived under the pseudonym Chou Tsu-Ho as a champion of herbal medicine. Later was learned that the temple at Nansei since 1768 as a shelter for secret servers.
Shushiwa, described as an intelligent and dedicated student, became proficient in several forms of Chinese boxing, particularly Tiger Fist, one of the Five Fists of Fujian Shaolin. He was the leading figure of Chinese Nanpa Shaolin Fist, and performed ascetic practices for 13 years. Its unique point is the systemization of the offensive and defensive principles of three creatures the Dragon, the Tiger and the Crane. Shushiwa contracted a severe illness and died in 1926, at the young age of fifty-two.
The three kata directly taught by Shushiwa: Sanchin, Seisan and Sanseiryu.
Shushiwa connects today with the formation of the Uechi-ryu. Uechi Kanbun, who later founded the style, traveled 1897 after Fuzhou (China) and began in Kojo Dojo training. Uechi was student of the local Udun Chokun Makabe, but Makabe had a speech impediment, and one day called him Uechi Watabu-gwa (large abdomen). Uechi then left the dojo and Okinawa and traveled to Fuzhou where while at the Kojo dojo met Shushiwa and became his student of Pangai noon.
