Welcome To Central Arkansas Kenshin-Kan
Shorin Ryu is one of the four main karate styles in Okinawa. It is one of the oldest self defense systems involving kicking, punching, grappling and throwing. This, combined with joint manipulation and pressure point fighting, makes this a very effective system for self defense.
Karate involves learning self-confidence, self-discipline, and builds self-esteem . Our style also incorporates Japanese customs, history, and language in our class curriculum. We are looking forward to having you as a student in our dojo as it takes a special person to be a karate student, one who walks the path. It takes a person with high morals and respect for self and others, to be one of these special people. If this defines what you're looking for then by all means continue to view this website for valuable information. You will learn about history, customs and protocols of the Okinawa people, kata, kobudo, and kumite techniques.
We are a charter member of the OSMKKF (Okinawa Shorin-Ryu Matsumura Seito Karate and Kobudo Federation), led by Grandmaster Fusei Kise, 10th Dan and Kaicho Isao Kise, 9th Dan Supreme Instructor from Okinawa, Japan.
