Martial Arts Self Defense Classes in Long Beach (ages 13 and up)
Bodyguards of the kings
Shorin Ryu Karate is a traditional form of self defense that
combines blocks, punches, strikes, and kicks into an Okinawan
fighting style. Shorin Ryu is so effective, it was used by warriors
who served as bodyguards to the kings of Okinawa.
 Shorin
Ryu Karate is a traditional martial art developed as a weaponless
method of self defense.Karate students defend themselves against
various attacks using basic principles such as blocks, parries,
punches, open hand strikes, elbows, takedowns, and kicking
techniques. Through the process of learning self defense techniques,
our students develop strength and increase endurance.
Our style of Shorin Ryu Karate is one of the major modern Okinawan
martial arts. Developed by Sokon "Bushi" Matsumura during the 1800s,
Matsumura Orthodox, also known as Matsumura Seito Ha or Sukunai
Hayashi, is a traditional style of Okinawan Karate. Shorin-ryu
combines elements of the traditional Okinawan fighting styles
Shuri-te and Tomari-te, two major regions in Okinawa.
