Shorinji Debka Tai Ruach was created by Larry C. Trombitas from a study of Tai Chi that started in 1973. After studying the applications of the Chen and the Yang styles, Larry found that the forms varied considerably from teacher to teacher. In fact, in some cases, it was impossible to tell if these forms were even the same style.
In the early 1980's, Larry began to study Karate. He eventually achieved a first degree Black Belt through the American Karate Federation, specializing in the art of Shorinji Kempo and Kyo Kushin Karate. (Shorinji is Japanese meaning Shaolin.)
Throughtout his whole experience in the Eastern Arts, Larry took a keen interest in the philosophy, writings, and the techniques of Bruce Lee and his art of Jeet Kune Do. He also studied Taoism, Buddhism and various Oriental Mysticisms. Larry also spent time during the mid 70's with the Platonic Academy, studying philosophy and religion.
It was in the early 1980's that Larry decided to spend time researching the Bible and Jesus Christ, focusing on the Jewish roots of the faith. He was greatly influenced by the Zola Levitt Presents television show and later in life, Larry attended a Messianic Community celebrating Shabatt. Intercessory Dance was a big part of the Shabatt service. After doing research into Hebrew Dance, he came across the dance called Debka.
Debka is a dance developed by the Hebrews, after being released by the Assyrians, who were very militaristic, which integrated the warrior-like dances into their intercessory praise and worship dances honoring God.
The intertwining of techniques, the flow of forms, and the exercise, along with the freedom from the classical mess of philosphy and set system gave birth to Yeshua's salutation through the art named Shorinji Debka. The system is a primer for contact fighting. Larry currently teaches classes and personal training at facilities in the Youngstown, Ohio area. |
