Kofukan Shito-Ryu Karate is celebrated for its dynamic techniques and rigorous training methodologies. Developed in 1931 by Kenwa Mabuni, Shito-Ryu karate integrates the original Shuri-te (fast, straight movements) and Naha-te (circular, supple movements) techniques. Known for the double hip twist, this style maximizes striking force, making it one of the most potent and fluid karate forms recognized by the World Karate Federation.
Every year, Kofukan organizes exclusive karate competitions for school children, as well as state and national championships. To stay at the cutting edge of this ancient martial art, coaching camps led by foreign masters are conducted annually in January, enriching students with the latest techniques and fostering a global understanding of karate.
