As a Karate-ka having close to forty years of experience, a stylist of Shorinjiryu Karatedo, I would like to make my first posting on this information room by clarifying an often assumed error:
Koshiki Karatedo being a system competition, open to all styles, and therefore is not a style of karate. It is a system of competition developed by Hanshi Masayuki Hisataka, son of the late Masayoshi Kori Hisataka, founder of the school "Shorinjiryu Kenkokan Karatedo". With emphasis on the title "Shorinjiryu", as this is the style of karatedo, with distinct lineage to the original, Shuri-te.
Enjoy your journey, Sensei Manny
