Shitoryu Symbol
Report
It is not recorded how far back the unique crest of the Mabuni family has its origins but it is known to date back more than five centuries, and it carries the history of the family's famous samurai ancestors that ruled the old Ryukyu Period. Kenwa Mabuni was a 17th generation descendant of one of the most famous and bravest warriors of that kingdom - Kenyo Oshiro.
Kenwa Mabuni 1889-1952

The style we teach and practice at the Academy is called Shitoryu. It is a prolific Japanese style that is practiced by several millions of people worldwide. In the late 1800's a fighting system known as Tode or Okinawan Te (known today as Karate), was practiced freely around the three provinces of Okinawa: Shuri, Naha and Tomari.
