History & NameHistory & NameHistory & NameHistory & NameHistory & Name• The definitions we in Takeshin use are as follows: Ji-in means Temple Ground, Jion means Temple Soundbut is also the name of a Buddhist saint, and Jutte means Ten Hands. However Jutte is also pronouncedand spelled “Jite” in which case it can mean Temple Hand, thus unifying the three forms.• One theory suggests that one of these kata may have been named Jion because it was developed in theJion-ji (Jion Temple)• Ryusho SAKAGAMI, as seems to be his custom, prefers to use variant ideographs for the same pronun-ciation, thus yielding the following translations: Ji-in = Love Sincerity; Jutte = Skilled Hand; Jion = LoveSound.• Funakoshi renamed Ji-in as Shôkyo (Elimination) but the original name survived.• All three forms come from Tomari-te but at least one (perhaps two) were often practiced in Shuri-te(Shorin) styles as well.
GeneralGeneralGeneralGeneralGeneral• Arhat Boxing (Monk Fist), a Chinese style related to White Crane, uses older versions of kata Sanchin,Seisan, Jutte, Seipai, Ueseishi (Gojushiho), Peichurin. The fact that Monk Fist does not use Ji-in or Jionperhaps suggests that these three kata may have not originally been related.• Each kata starts with a similar but differently detailed “fist and cover” kamae, reminiscent of Shaolinboxing, and a rearward step followed by a leftward, rightward and forward step.• Each kata uses manji-uke (Buddhist swastika shaped block).• Hirokazu KANAZAWA holds that Jutte was used as a defense to the bo (staff); however, others claim thatit was meant to be used with bo in hand.• Ironically, the Japanese form of the Okinawan sai (truncheon) is “jutte” and the kata can be done withdouble sai in hand (sai were often used in Okinawa to defend against bo); this interpretation is attractiveuntil one realizes that the Japanese truncheon or jutte has only one prong and it is usually very close to themain shaft—a bo would not fit in this opening. The Jutte was a police officer’s weapon meant to defendagainst a sword. Therefore, the identical names of the Okinawan kata and the Japanese truncheon may bejust coincidental. Another, simpler, version of the coinciding names is that the kata’s yama-uke (mountainblock) reminds one of the shape of a sai or jutte.• Reminiscent of Jutte is Kenwa MABUNI’s Shito-ryu form Aoyagi , also called Seiryu (both mean “BlueWillow”), which also has elements of Goju’s Seienchin (means "Lull in the Storm"). Most probably, Mabunibased this kata on Seienchin, Jutte and/or the J-series in general.
