Shorinryu 小林流 is an ancient Martial Art of a very high technical standard from Shuri, Okinawa in the Ryukyu Kingdom, the birthplace of Karate, passed down from its creator, Chibana Chōshin .
Although there are millions of practitioners of modern 20th century versions of Karate from Mainland Japan (such as Shotokan, Wadoryu, Kyokushin etc.), we are dedicated solely to the study, practice and teaching of this original, older style.
Our focus is largely on Kata (form), technique and health. Having trained and studied with Masters on the island of Okinawa, our primarily mission is to helppreserve and teach these precious, original Kata.
This is not "Sport Karate", a different approach in discipline and attitude is required to progress in the training we offer.
All that is required from you is dedication, perseverance and integrity to become a respected Karateka.
