Recently in my continuous research on this esoteric aspect of martial systems with specificity toward Okinawan Karate I came across a symbol that has not come up in the past ten years. I have asked as to its origins and until I receive a response I thought I would ask readers if they have encountered this symbol at any time during their training, practice and research.

Ever seen this and if you have can you provide me the source as to when, where, how, why and whom it was conceived of, by and for?
I am familiar with a similar image used often in modern kenpo systems, like Ed Parker's American Kenpo: http://aaronhamill.tripod.com/orange/images/RedUnivr.gif
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I am not well-versed on its meaning or origin. I believe that it has something to do with the 8 primary directions and the emphasis on circular movement, but beyond that I can't say much about it.
