To those who are interested in Karate

Karate of caring and dignity.

Mind with harmony exceeds might to compete.

Our mission is to develop self-confidence and mind of caring, not resorting the power or violence.  Mind with harmony is the principle of our Karate.

What is important is to “beautify our spirit” by improving our skills.  It is the most admirable moment when we share the delight of it with our associate.

It is more valuable to nurture our mind with harmony to respect each other’s growth than to become a skillful Karate player.

◆About the Instructor

The style of my Karate is to wait in the natural stance for the opponent to make a move and bring him down on the first attack.  I had won ten times in the national championship and three times worldwide in eleven years of my playing career.  I was known as a “tournament sweeper” and my Kumite was described as perfect.  I also have been featured by some Japanese martial arts magazine many times.

In 2010, I won the men’s heavyweight division in the second world championship held by Japan Shorinjiryu Karate-do Federation International Renshinkan.  After this match, I decided to finish my playing career and left Renshinkan.

I’m now a licensed acupuncturist and Judo therapist.

◆Private Class Customers’ Voice

Female, Age 50s

I like the instructor very much, who is nice and kind though sometimes strict.

He, the ex-world champion, teaches us not only the skill of Karate but also the traditional code and manner of Japanese martial arts.

It is a benefit of private class that I can feel the improvement clearly by being pointed out my exact weakness.

Male, Age 50s

Private class is recommended to those who are over age of 50 with no experience of Karate before.  You don’t need to feel uncomfortable in the middle of young people.

Male from the U.S., Age 50s

I had some experience of learning Karate in my home country and started again when I came to Japan for job assignment.

It is very helpful for me that the instruction is given in English even if only partially

Female from Chile, Age 20s

I was soon fascinated when I first took the class.

The instructor, who is the legendary Karate expert, was not only kind and friendly but also very good at teaching so that I easily understood how to move my body appropriately.

He gives us the necessary explanation as many times as we need and everybody is able to improve their Karate skills.

A boy, Age 11 (from his mother)

My son attended other Karate lessons before but he could not get well with it.

He says now, however, it is much fun to go to Karate lessons by the national champion.

Master of Martial Arts; the small beats the big.

“My dream is to act in Hollywood movies as a master of Karate.”

With the height of 5.6ft and the weight of 154.3lbs, he was the smallest player in men’s heavyweight division, however, he was afraid by other players with his overwhelming Kumite.  He was also considered as the best player in the history of Renshinkan with his distinctive techniques and tactics, which no one else could have achieved.

*He now provides lessons in Kagoshima, Japan, based on his own theory of Karate, after leaving Renshinkan in 2010.

No matter how strong the attack is, it makes no sense if it doesn’t reach anybody.  What is important is to dodge the attack and let not your opponent touch your body.  Some proper training is required to manage this.

He had won a number of matches against other schools regardless of the difference in rules, which resulted in letting people call him “tournament sweeper”.

The result he had achieved in the matches held by Japan Shorinjiryu Karate-do Federation International Renshinkan.
