About "Okinawa-Kenpo" ――

Okinawa-kenpo is a karate style which has been developed based on ancient Okinawan martial arts called "Ti". Its technique and thought were studied and refined by a Tomari-te master, Shinkichi Kuniyoshi (also known as "BUSHI" Kuniyoshi) and passed down to Grand Master Shigeru Nakamura, the founder of Okinawa-kenpo. Grand Master Nakamura opened his own dojo "Okinawa-kenpo Karate-do Shurenjo" at Onaka, Nago city and taught his art of karate.

Today, Okinawa-kenpo is known as a name of karate style. We use the term of "Okinawa-kenpo" not only for indicating our style, but also for inheriting Kuniyoshi and Nakamura's will. Our goal is to preserve BUSHI Kuniyoshi's Tomari-te and pass it to the next generation.
