Isshinryu-no-megami, means, 'Goddess of Isshinryu' The second is mizu-gami which means 'water goddess.' I think you can readily see that when interpreted properly the correct application is apparent. The first when appended to Isshinryu, i.e. If I'm aware I'll politely call the patch whatever the listener prefers, but if asked i'd answer mizugami because I've used the term for 38+ years. Isshinryu-no-megami Clarification Megami or Mizugami, that is the question. The art takes place in the floor, regardless of the flavor.Īs I've taught youth for 33 years personally if I had the money I'd have a young person design the patch, have it made up and forget the rest. I have heard it said that the people of Michoacan, called the Purepecha originate from the far North and conquered a swath of territory in Mexico in the modern state of Michoacan, they were relatively recent arrivals in the area. References as to the right Isshinryu are irrelevant. Luciform is a color-based precision platformer that demands quick reflexes and nerves of steel. I believe Michoacan is firmly rooted in the same etymological and linguistic roots as the words Michigan, Mishigami, and Mizugami. But in the end Isshinryu (the generic) still comes down to the instructor and the dojo. Isshinryu is one of the new generation proving Organizations could perpetuate karate as opposed to originally just instructors. Shimabuku Sensei didn't wear the patch and personally 1/2 of my gi's have it, and 1/2 of them don't, and today 1/2 of my adult classes don't wear gi anyway, so I see it as somewhat irrelevant.Īs I respect everyone, but follow no one (except for my original instructors) I don't find testaments about what is right very important. I don't teach mythology to my students, nor did my instructors, (one of whom is a minister) and have no problem with either name. On the other hand I don't believe in anybody's goddesses, nor care. ![]() I asked my instructor and he said Advincula must be right. Then in the mid 80's Advincula Sensei, the designer of the first patch said it wasn't the Okinawan mizugami but the Isshinryu Megami. Shimabuku Sensei was gone and didn't leave any documentation on the issue. All of the 70's and early 80's magazine articles used the term. Originally when I bought a patch (of the Steve Armstrong line) from my instructor I'm not sure the patch was named, but if it was it was mizugami.
