Shito-Ryu Karate Do
Shito-Ryu Karate is one of the four original, traditional styles of Japanese karate, alongside Shotokan, Goju-Ryu, and Wado-Ryu. Founded by Kenwa Mabuni in the early 20th century, it blends the powerful, linear techniques of Shuri-te with the fluid, circular movements of Naha-te, creating a well-rounded and versatile martial art. Renowned for its effectiveness in both self-defense and competition, Shito-Ryu practitioners excel in kata (forms) and kumite (sparring), consistently achieving success in national and international tournaments. This style emphasizes precision, adaptability, and the preservation of Okinawan martial arts traditions.
