Sensei
Seikichi Odo (1989) |
In the 1940's, karate was a regular program in the Physical
Education activities of the Okinawan schools because it increased
the health and vitality of the students. Seikichi Odo was
introduced to Judo at first while in school at age 12 in 1938. He
began to study Okinawa-Te at the age of thirteen, with Sensei
Matsuda, at the Hanza district (1939).

From the very beginning, Seikichi Odo enjoyed karate, and worked hard to
excel. Three years later at the age of sixteen (1942), Odo changed
schools. He studied Okinawa-Te from Sensei Kokuba at Kawasaki for the next
four years. Sensei Kokuba then went to Brazil to join his brother. At the
age of twenty (1946), Seikichi Odo began his apprenticeship Shinpo
Matayoshi (1947). Shinpo's father, Master Shinko Matayoshi, taught Michio
Kakazu and Shinpo
Matayoshi. Seikichi Odo began his pursuit of
competency in weapons with the guidance of Shinpo Matayoshi in Ishikawa
for the next 10 years. They were joined by Michio Kakazu in 1956 and
continued until 1966. Sensei Seiki
Toma, a direct student of Chotoku
Kyan,
also influenced Seikichi Odo in his development and proficiency with
weapons and kata in 1975.
Seikichi Odo at age 24 switched his karate study to Naha-Te at the dojo of
Master Seigeru Nakamura in Nago in 1950. Naha-Te was similar to Okinawa-Te
and Seikichi Odo continued his pursuit of karate. In 1953, Master Seigeru
Nakamura designated his style of Naha-Te as "Okinawa Kenpo Karate".
In 1955, the Okinawa Kenpo Karate Renmei (Federation) was formed with
Master Nakamura as president. Master Nakamura was sixty-two years old at
that time. Seikichi Odo was taught and taught Okinawan Kobudo at Nakamura Sensei's dojo with the
Master's approval, and supervision. Master Nakamura
died in 1970 at the age of seventy-seven, leaving no designate as Master.
In 1972, the "Okinawa Kenpo Karate Renmei" appointed Seikichi
Odo (age 46) as Master of Okinawa Kenpo Karate. As master of Okinawa Kenpo,
Seikichi Odo was also installed as the President of the All Okinawa Kenpo Karate-do League.
Master Odo was one of the first Okinawan masters to incorporate a complete
system of Okinawan Kobudo into a traditional karate system, adding the
weapons officially to the system soon after his designation as Master.
This resulted in the break with karate purists. The formation of the
Okinawa Kenpo Karate Kobudo system in the mid-1970's was a result of
dissatisfaction of "old" Okinawa Kenpo stylists with extra
karate kata and weapons taught by Master
Odo. The "League", of
which Seikichi Odo was President, was dissolved and Seikichi Odo, Seijiro
Maehara, Kenko Chibana, and others formally incorporated the Karate and
Kobudo into one system, forming the "Okinawa Kenpo Karate Kobudo
Association".

n 1983 the Association (OKKA) under the apt leadership of Necomendes
Flores in the U.S. was summoned back to Okinawa by Grand Master Seikichi
Odo, and restructured as the Okinawa Kenpo Karate Kobudo Federation (OKKKF),
giving credence to truly being a world wide Organization.
In 1998 Odo Sensei officially changed his style name to Ryukyu Hon Kenpo
Kobujutsu. Any references to Okinawa Kenpo Karate have been eliminated by
Master Odo to respect the wishes of Master Taketo Nakamura (son of Master
Seigeru Nakamura) from the Okinawa Kenpo Karate Honbu dojo of Nago,
Okinawa. The RHKK Federation is the sole and only official organization
headed by Grand Master Seikichi
Odo.
