Why Okinawan Karate
We believe that the Karate of Okinawa provides a rich, comprehensive,
and effective means of personal self-defense. Okinawan Karate was developed
as a response to the need to defend common people against the agression of
various invaders and tyrants, and as such provides a realistic and conclusive set of
solid self-defense techniques. Okinawan styles of Karate are not sport forms;
this is a combat art.
