High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Shorinjiryu Kenkokan Karate is a style of karate founded by Kori Hisataka (Seiki Kudaka in Okinawan)(1907-1988) shortly after World War II in Japan. It is a unique blend of Okinawan kobudo and Shorinji Ry Karate, Japanese aikijujutsu, judo, kenjutsu, and Chinese b jiquan. In many aspects, Shorinjiryu Karate has a strong resemblance to Japanese Koryu Budo, in that it has a great emphasis on 2 person pre-arrange drills (yakusoku kumite). One person kata is an important practice, and the main kata taught in the style in its early days were versions of Naihanchin, Nijushiho, Sanchin, Chinto and Kusanku, as well as a Bo (6 ft staff) kata (Shishiryu no Bo), a Jo (4 ft staff) kata and a Sai (iron truncheon) kata (Nijushiho no Sai). Other kata were introduced later, mainly by the son of the founder, Masayuki Hisataka
