CH’EN, YUAN PIN (1587-1672)

Chinese martial artist and pottery master. According to lengend, in 1938, during the Tokugawa period, a Chinese pottery master named Yuan-pin Ch’en arrived from China to serve as a ceramics instructor for the daimyo of Owari, Japan. Among his other dutie, Ch’en instructed ronin in the art of seizing a man without the use of weapons. Some sources credit Ch’en with the introduction of ch’uan-fa and jujutsu to Japan, a theory that is disputed on the grounds that a weaponless technique called yawara was in existence long before Ch’en came to Japan. Ch’en probably introduced the Okinawan sai, later adopted and modified by the Japanese police into the jitte. Ch’en is also referred to as Chin Gempin, Chen Yuan Ping, Ch’en Yuan Pin, and Ching-Ping.
