Shōrinji-ryū

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Shorinji-ryu)

Shōrinji-ryū (少林寺流) (translation: Shaolin Temple Family/Style) 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.[1][2] Well known practitioners (and the organizations they founded) include Richard Kim (Zen Bei Butoku Kai), Kori Hisataka (Shōrinjiryū Kenkōkan Karate), Soke Isamu Tamotsu (Shorinjiryu Karate-do Renshinkan), and Joen Nakazato (Okinawan Shorinji Ryu).[3][4][5]
