About Shito Ryu
Kenwa Mabuni
Kenwa Mabuni (1889-1952) is the founder of the Shito-ryu style of Karate. Mabuni was born in Shuri, Okinawa, the son of a 17th generation Samurai called the Bushi (warrior) class. Members of his family served Okinawan lords for hundreds of years. During his time, the martial arts (Okinawa-te) was known according to the village where it was practiced: Shuri-te (the hand of Shuri), Naha-te and Tomari-te. Mabuni learned Shuri-te from Yasutsune Itosu, who was a student of Sokon Matsumura, and Naha-te from Kanryu Higashionna. Mabuni learned some 23 kata from Yasutsune Itosu. Mabuni also learned several empty hand katas and Kobudo (weapon) katas from Seisho Arakaki (1840-1918), and some white crane Kung Fu forms from Woo Yin Gue, a Chinese tea merchant in Okinawa.

Shito-Ryu stresses speed and economy of movement, and fighting is generally initiated from a higher, more upright stance than Shotokan employs. On the other hand, the style has a relatively high number of Kata; a significant of time is spent perfecting forms.

It is a Japanese word; the meaning is Empty Hand Way
Kara = Empty || Te = Hand || Do = Way
Karate is the martial art in which one is trained to defend and protect himself/herself in any given situation by using the basic technique of Standing, Punching, Striking, Kicking and Blocking. For Karate one needs to have Timing, Rhythm, Breathing, Power, Speed, and Strong Spirit, so that his/her body can be trained as a weapon. The ultimate aim of karate is to develop perfect character and overcoming mental & physical sufferings under rigorous discipline. The themes of traditional karate training are fighting and self-defense, though its mental and moral aspects target the overall improvement of the individual. If Karate had to be described in only one sentence, then the most suitable one may arguably be “You never attack first in karate”.
