About Shito-Ryu Karate
*********************************************************

Shito-Ryu is a broad, but distinct style of karate. It was formed initially from a combination of Shotokan and Goju-Ryu style of karate. Shotokan utilised long linear stances and physical power, where Goju-Ryu utilised up and down stances and internal breathing power, emphasising hard and soft techniques essential throughout Japanese martial arts. Shito-Ryu is powerful, but still fast and artistic. It incorporates the powerful Shuri-te katas like Naifanchin and Bassai, the hard and soft Naha-te katas like Sanchin and Kururunfa, and the artistic Chinese white crane katas like Nipaipo and Paipuren.

Shito-Ryu contains all the Shorin-Ryu katas, all the Shorei-Ryu katas, the Chinese white crane katas, plus katas devised by Sensei Kenwa Mabuni (1889-1952) from his broad knowledge and experience, in total, more than sixty katas.A distinguishing feature of Shito-Ryu is that it lives together with Kobudo (weapon arts), and sometimes Iaido (sword arts). As such Shito-Ryu can command a life-long dedication to practice and perfect.
