Martial Arts and the Professional.
Karate. What is Karate? Karate is not only a form of self-defense,
but also a form of self-preservation. It preserves the bogged down
mind of a stressed person. It relieves stress and stimulates the
mind and body. The next question one might ask, is what type of
karate? What sets it apart from other styles? The advantages of
Isshinryu over other styles are speed, versatility, and
sensibility. Another positive would be that Isshinryu is realistic
its based on Master Shimabukus principle that man and woman are
two. Their interactions, the third element makes the offspring.
This creative process compelled Master Shimabuku to create Isshinryu
from the interaction of opposite styles he had mastered Shorin ryu
and Goju ryu.
