Shōrinji-ryū

Shōrinji-ryū (少林寺流) is a form of karate derived from the teachings of Okinawan masters influenced by Chinese martial arts, most prominently Kanga “Tode” Sakugawa. The style is related to Shorin-Ryu and Shorinji Kempo. Shorinji-ryu practitioners study dozens of Kata that are often associated with various lineages/styles of Okinawan Te and Japanese Budo, including Naihanchi, Seisan, Kūsankū, Patsai, Lohai and Ananku. Well known practitioners include Richard Kim, Kori Hisataka, Soke Isamu Tamotsu, and Joen Nakazato.
