Kyoshi CD Williamson, 8th Degree Black Belt, is our Master instructor. We study the Traditional Okinawan Art of Shorin-Ryu Shorin-Kan Karate. Karate, meaning empty hand, actually started in Okinawa (a group of islands south of Japan) in the year 1609 when the Satsuma Clan left Mainland Japan and conquered Okinawa (which used to be named the Ryukyu Kingdom). The subsequent edicts that came out afterwards prohibited the Okinawans from owning any type of weapons.

Modern Okinawan Shorin-Ryu Shorin-Kan was started by Grand Master Chosen Chibana in 1920, keeping to the traditional instruction he had learned as a teenager. Over the years Shorin-Ryu has changed very little (although there are some minor changes to update the system to modern times).
