There are four major schools (styles) of Japan Karate Do: Shotokan,
Shito-ryu, Goju-ryu and Wado-ryu. They all belong to the Japan
Karate-do Federation (JKF) which is the only Karate-do federation
recognized by the Japanese government due to the high standards they
promote. In our school, we use JKF standards and regulations for international
competition. Not only do we train for the sport of Karate, but we strive towards Budo Karate as well. Each
style has different strong points and ideas about technique.
Shotokan stresses on dynamic, straight movement. Shito-ryu, stresses quicker,
angular movements for speed and power. Goju-ryu stresses circular
movements to produce power. Wado-ryu stresses the movements of
traditional jujitsu. Each style's techniques are, of course, a
result of it's history and development.
Our school's style is Shito-Ryu. It was founded by
Kenwa Mabuni (1887-1952) an Okinawan descendant from the "Bushi"
or warrior class.He practice two styles of Karate from Itosu and
Higashionna (Higaonna) plus Shinden Fudoryu Jujitsu as well. He put them
together and he created his style which is named "Shito-Ryu" The name Shito-Ryu was developed to honor two of
Kenwa Mabuni's karate teachers, Itosu and Higashionna (the first kanji in
Itosu sounds like "shi" and the first kanji in Higashionna
sounds like "to" while "Ryu" means "style"
or "way of doing"). Since
Shito-Ryu is the style at our school, we favor the performance of smaller,
quicker, angular movements for speed and power. The repetitions of
these movements not only develop the power to perform them, but also the
stamina to perform them during Karate-Do training or to carry out the routines of
daily life.

With the Chairman of the JKF and WKF
Technical Committee, Tsuyama Sensei
Today,
Japan Karate-do is practiced worldwide. Therefore, JKF requires its
overseas instructors to learn more than one style. As result, the instructor can understand and teach his own style more deeply. Our school
starts by teaching the natural movements and techniques of Shito-ryu. Later, at intermediate and advanced levels, students
learn not only advanced Shito-ryu but also Goju-ryu.
