Shorinjiryu Kenkokan Karate-Do
A unique blend of Okinawan kobudo and Shorinji Ryū Karate, Japanese aikijujutsu, judo, kenjutsu, and Chinese bājíquán (Wikipedia.org).
Koshiki Karate
Koshiki karate is not a style (or ryu) of karate but rather is a way of practicing one's karate fighting skills.The koshiki system of fighting was developed by Hanshi Masayuki Hisataka in the 1980s. Considerable research went into discovering the material that would offer the most protection. The resulting gear is known as “Super Safe” protective equipment (wikibin.org).
Personal safety courses for women and teens and our children’s street-proofing programs are nationally recognized by the C.A.F.S.U. and The Missing Children’s Network Canada.
Our courses have been on the National Film Board documentary entitled ‘The Ring Within’ and ‘The Volcano.’
