Overview of Matsubyashi Shorin-Ryu


Shorin-Ryu has elements of free fighting, pressure point attacks, and grappling. Shorin-Ryu focusses on defenses and attack techniques that Wright State University Shorin-Ryu emphasizes the practice of kata (a series of prearranged empty hand forms) to develop the attributes necesary for effective self-defense.

Mastery of karate requires the following:

  • Courtesy and respect of others and of the traditions of the art.

  • Practice often with focus and to the best of one's ability.

  • Cleanliness externally and internally. Strive for perfection.

  • Sequential movement. Move in the order of eyes, feet, and hands.
