You Have a Great History

Knowing your past is necessary to moving towards your future.

Karate has a storied history. But, I find less martial artists truly know their roots. Shorin Ryu is an ancient Okinawan art. If you don't know much about Okinawa, karate or its history, this video provides a good foundation. It's amazing to learn that the same art we practice today shares deep roots with karate masters of the past. I hope you enjoy this video as much as I did:

If you enjoyed the video you may also enjoy seeing the lineage of our Seiyo No Shorin-Ryu organization.
