Ryukyu Shorin Ryu Karate Do Tesshinkan

More information can be found at and This is Kobayashi/Shorin Ryu as it is taught by the famous Kobudo-master Tamayose Hidemi Sensei, the head and founder of the Ryukyu Kobudo Tesshinkan Kyokai. Tamayose Sensei offers his students to train his Karate as an additive for a deeper understanding of their primary style. This Shorin Ryu is characterised by a lot of hip motions, and as a very unique property, this Karate style has been influenced by Kobudo. Thus there is (almost) no difference between Tamayose Sensei’s Kobudo and Karate. In addition, a programme has been developed which allows Kobudo-students and those who have not trained Karate priorly, to learn this art as a main and primary style.
