Tradition

Shito-Ryu is one of the four major styles of Japan. Shito-Ryu Seiko-Kai remains true to the classical karate of feudal Okinawa. It combines two of the great traditions of karate - Itosu and Higaonna - and in Japan is considered to be the foremost at teaching kata - a series of offensive and defensive moves for dealing with multiple opponents. Although solidly rooted in centuries of tradition, Shito-Ryu also incorporates the modern discipline of sport karate.
