Men's Intermediate Kata at USKA Nationals

[Azulx]

It's a branch of Shorin Ryu. Hohan Soken was the founder of it.....it is also referred to as Matsumara Seito Shorin Ryu.

I'm guessing whoever built the site spelled the name wrong.

Mr Holtzman was a student of Phillip Koepel

United States Karate-Do Kai Karate History

Ah interesting, I actually did some more research, and it looks similair to "Shogen-Ryu." They even have the same ready stance posture as Darryl did.

Mr Koepel hosts a tournament called the Trias Cup every year around November where at the end of the tourney the adult black belts compete in Kata. 3 different rings and competitors have to run a different kata in each ring with the scores from the rings being combined.

Last year was the first time we went to it and it was pretty interesting to watch. Scott S. won the cup but it was cool watching Joe D. get out there and compete.
