SHORIN-RYU KARATE is characterized by its dynamic techniques that flow together between defensive and attacking strategies using the entire body - including kicking, punching, elbows, knees and more. These techniques can be practiced with a partner under the Sensei's supervision or by oneself in the practice of Kata. The traditional art of Shorin-Ryu places great emphasis on Kata which through repetition creates a strong body, disciplines the mind and develops a strong martial spirit.

Kata training ingrains the techniques in each individual so they can be called upon without hesitation in confrontational situations. Katas are also performed to improve and promote a healthy body and reduce stress.
