The Shuri Dojo is deeply committed to the promotion, preservation, and education of Okinawan karate and its traditions. Rooted in classical karate from Okinawa, we strive to preserve and promote the practical and pragmatic roots of these arts for future generations.
Our journey reflects over 50 years of practice and teaching by our chief instructor and founder, Adam Carter Hanshi. Our practice is firmly rooted in Shinjin-Ryu Okinawa-Te, a style that upholds the core principles and techniques of traditional Okinawan karate, while allowing for thoughtful interpretation that aligns with our unique dojo philosophy.
To assist in our mission as a pragmatic karate dojo, Adam Carter Hanshi, is a member of the International Ryukyu Karate Research Society (琉球唐手術国際研究会) established 1989 in Japan by Patrick McCarthy 10th dan Hanshi. The IRKRS is an information based society dedicated to studying, the origins, evolution and tactical application theories of old-school (Koryu) karate and kobudo.
