Shinseido Shorin Ryu

Shinseido Shorin Ryu is a combination of two disciplines:

• Shinseido is a modern self-defence system for ordinary people of all ages.
• Matsumura Shorin Ryu is the forerunner of many modern Karate styles. It is an Okinawan martial art handed down through several generations. It has its origins in the ancient martial practices of Okinawa, China and Japan.

Shinseido Shorin Ryu is not only about learning to defend yourself (although that is of prime importance). It is also about living and a long and healthy life – as such the techniques and other training exercises are designed to have therapeutic value for the person practising them. Another important aspect of training in Shinseido Shorin Ryu is that it should be FUN! If you don’t enjoy your training, you’re not very likely to keep doing it.
