TRULY AUTHENTIC

Introducing REAL Okinawan karate.



Since the 1980s we've been dedicated students of Seikichi Iha (伊波清吉), Hanshi
10th Dan, and highest ranking Shōrin-ryū master in the US.

In 2024 we were accepted directly under Morinobu Maeshiro (真栄城 守信), Hanshi 10th
Dan and President of the world Shorinryu Karatedo Association in Okinawa.

The Okinawa Prefecture Government has designated both Iha Sensei and Maeshiro
Sensei as Intangible Cultural Asset Holders in the Field of Okinawan Karate, a
recognition of authenticity and historical preservation granted to only 9
masters alive today.

EFFECTIVE TECHNIQUE



No movie theatrics. No wasted motion.

Okinawan karate was born from a need to defend against life-threatening danger,
not scoring points in a tournament.

A mature attitude is required to safely practice techniques, many of which are
illegal in conventional sport styles.
