    Keinosuke Enoeda Sensei

    Beckie Challans Life of a Karate Master – Keinosuke Enoeda Sensei Born on July 4th, 1935, in Kyushu, South Japan, Keinosuke Enoeda was widely known as ‘Tora’ – or, the Tiger. Gaining this nickname, through his reputation and skill as a competitive and extremely successful Karateka. It is not surprising that Enoeda Sensei was so highly revered by his fellow martial artists. Sensei first started out as a martial artist at the age of seven, when he took up Judo, alongside other massively popular activities in Japan at the time; Kendo, and baseball. He proved to be very skilled, and the art came naturally to him, allowing him to achieve the grade of Nidan at the age of just sixteen, laying the foundations for his future life in the martial art world. Not long after achieving this grade, however, Enoeda Sensei found himself at a Karate demonstration, held at Takushoku University, and showcasing two of the main instructors of that group – Senseis Okazaki and Irea. He found himself to be inspired by what he saw that day, and upon enrolling on a degree in Economics, he joined the group, and began to train in Shotokan Karate. After just 2 years of tuition from instructors such as Okazaki and Irea, and even Sensei Gichin Funakoshi himself, Enoeda was awarded with his Shodan, the first of the eight dan grades he would achieve over his lifetime. A further 2 years saw him take on the role of Captain for the competition team associated with the university, which allowed him to enter a large number of competitions for the university, in particular within the kumite division of the JKA All-Japan Championships.

    Shorin-Ryu Butokukan USA Hombu

    Dear Sensei and Karateka: It is an honor to be hosting our annual Spring National Training Camp here in Williamsburg, Virginia. The format of this camp will follow our previous gasshuku and cover topics of kihon, Shorin-Ryu kata, kobudo, kumite (iri-kumi and sport kumite) and application. This is an outstanding opportunity for students of all styles of Okinawa Karate to train together and we hope this experience will create new friendships. The purpose of a gasshuku is to evaluate and strengthen the skills and curriculum areas of all members and to also create opportunities for karateka to grow. As there are no “spectators” or seniors standing on the sidelines in the dojo on Okinawa, we will hope that every participant will represent themselves, their style and their teacher by training on the floor. It is all too common for individuals to attend camps just to have picture opportunities with famous karate sensei but do very little training. I hope that everyone will push themselves and each other to complete the training with tremendous spirit and effort. We look forward to training with you and sharing knowledge at this special event! If there are any questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected] or (757-870- 0311) Camp Director, John Spence, United States Hombu-Cho, Shorin-Ryu Butokukan ジョン スペンス 北米 支部 道場 沖縄空手道小林流武徳館 Shorin-Ryu Karate of Williamsburg Proudly Presents 2018 Spring Training Camp When: April 20, 21, 22, 2018 Where: Matoaka Elementary Gymnasium, 4001 Brick Bat Road, Williamsburg, Virginia 23188 What: Camp classes will consist of kihon, Shorin-Ryu kata, kobudo, kumite (iri-kumi and sport kumite) and application.
  • Shitoryu History

    Shitoryu History

    Karate has been taught outside of Japan for almost 40 years, and was exported to the rest of the world along both stylistic and organizational lines. By now, the namesof most karate styles have become familiar to martial artists everywhere. Of all the traditional karate systems Shotokan, Goju-ryu, Wado-ryu, Shorin-ryu, Kyokushin, Isshin-ryu, and Shito-ryu among them Shito-ryu remains the most obscure. Several of its leading practitioners, such as the charismatic Fumio Demura and the prolific Touro Hayashi, do have widespread fame, yet Shito-ryu remains little understood outside its own schools. Shito-ryu had been most often described as a combination of Shotokan and Goju-ryu. It is also generally known that its teachers utilize formal exercises (kata) from many Okinawan sources. Unfortunately, such explanations fail to adequately describe just what Shito-ryu really is. In truth, Shito-ryu, along with Goju-ryu, Wado-ryu and Shotokan, is one of the four major karate systems of Japan proper (the Japanese islands excluding Okinawa). It was founded by Kenwa Mabuni (1889-1952), who, like most of karate’s old masters, was descended from Okinawa’s so-called warrior (bushi) class or aristocracy. Members of his family served Okinawan lords for hundreds of years. Mabuni started karate training at the age of 13 under Anko Itosu (1830-1915), the man who organized early karate in the Okinawan school system. Itosu was a student of one of Okinawa’s most famous karate masters, Sokon Matsumura (1792-1887), the forefather of Shorin-ryu. Itosu took a strong liking to his young pupil and Mabuni learned some 23 kata before the elder man died.

    Karate / Tote / (Ryukyu Kempo Jutsu)

    KARATE / TOTE / (RYUKYU KEMPO JUTSU) Aujourd'hui tous les historiens et pratiquants avisés de la discipline communément dénommée karate (et peut être à tort répertoriée comme Art martial ou Budo) s'accordent sur ses origines. Nul en tout cas ne nie que l’île d’OKINAWA en Fut le berceau, le creuset séculaire, même si depuis le début du XX siècle (1917 environ) le JAPON qui en découvrit réellement l'existence, l'adopta et le transForma, puis le diFFusa en en codiFiant certains aspects, suivi quelques décennies plus tard par l'occident. Le karate estampillé Japonais compte à ce jour à peine 100 ans d'existence et le Karate Européen quelques 25 années de moins, ce qui leur interdit largement toute prédominance usurpée au regard des plus de 500 ans d'âge de leur ancêtre okinawaïen. Un rapide survol historique permet d'attester avec plus encore de certitude ces propos. Ile principale de l'archipel des RYU KYU (qui en compte une myriade) OKINAWA non éloignée de l'actuelle île de TAIWAN, est plus proche de la partie Est du continent asiatique que du JAPON. De tout temps elle présenta (comme très souvent les îles) un caractère à la Fois rural à l'intérieur et une culture maritime (ports de commerce et pêche artisanale) sur sa côte Ouest Face à la CHINE avec qui dès que le développement de la marine le permit, elle entretint des liens très étroits tant commerciaux, que politiques et administratiFs. Ainsi bien qu'unie sous la bannière du Roi local SHO HASHI dès 1429, et avec son administration indépendante et sa propre culture, le royaume entretint des rapports sinophiles, inspirant les patronymes des indigènes de l'île, leurs langages et certaines de leurs coutumes et moeurs.
