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.

Welcome to our website.

Grand Master Nakamura disliked the thought of karate being divided into separate styles. There used to be no Ryuha (schools) in Okinawa karate. All styles were merely called "Ti". That was the reason why he simply named his karate "Okinawa-kenpo", which means "Okinawa Ti". His intension was to unify all styles of karate under the name of Okinawa-kenpo. He called for like-minded karate-ka (karate practitioners) and held meetings to try to make his dream come true. : Speed up the subtitle (if the text

In June 17, 1961, karate masters from all over Okinawa gathered at Yashio-so, Naha city. At this meeting, they had a discussion about the unification of Okinawa karate and finally came to endorse it (Establishing of Okinawa Kobudo Kyokai). However, after Grand Master Nakamura's passing in 1969, the group fell apart. subtitle Lock.Up.1989.1080p.BluRay.x264-[YTS.AM]

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.
