The style of karate taught in our dojo is Traditional Okinawan Shorin-Ryu Shorinkan, as developed hundreds of years ago in the village of Shuri, Okinawa, Japan. It is also known as Kobayashi-Ryu. Approximately 80% of all karate systems in the world today were derived from the Okinawan Shorin-Ryu Karate system. This classical system of martial arts uses both hands and feet evenly for a well-rounded system of self defense.
