We are honored to announce, as of September 16th 2023, our mentorship with the esteemed Katsumi Tamaki 10th dan Soke of Shinjin-Ryu Okinawa-Te Kyokai (心仁流沖縄手協会). This mentorship strengthens our connection to Okinawan traditions, ensuring that we uphold the high standards and deep-rooted legacy of Shinjin-Ryu Okinawa-Te in our training and teachings.
In addition to our connection with Shinjin-Ryu Okinawa-Te, the Shuri Dojo is proudly affiliated with Ryukyu Denryu Kyokai, our own association, created at the beginning of 2025, dedicated to preserving and promoting practical Ryukyu Karate. Through this affiliation, we continue to foster the principles of traditional Okinawan martial arts, ensuring a strong and continuous link to both historical values and modern martial applications.
