Know Your ArtWhat does "Shorin Ryu" mean? "Chubu Shorin Ryu" means: "The Middle Way through the Small
Pine Forest." Who are the founders of the two styles we practice? We practice two traditional Okinawan styles of Karatedo. The first, Shorin Ryu (a Japanese translation of Shao Lin), was founded by O'Sensei Chotoku Kyan on the Okinawan fundamental style called Shuri-te. "Te" means "hand." Goju Ryu, which originated from Naha-te, was founded by O'Sensei Chojun Miyagi.Goju means hard/soft. Shuri and Naha are cities on the island of Okinawa. |
