Who We Are |
We are a traditional group of schools located throughout the
United States.
|
The Seibukan Dojo (Holy Art School), of the Sukunaihayshi
"Shorin-Ryu" style of karate, was established in 1962 by the late,
great Sensei Zenryo Shimabukuro of Chatan-Cho, Okinawa. He received
his training under the watchful eye of the famed Sensei Chotoku Kyan
of Shuri, Okinawa. It is on this training that Sensei Shimabukuro
based the establishment of the Seibukan Dojo.
|
Since its beginning, the Seibukan Dojo (schools) have continued
the legacy of the past great Sensei by teaching the same techniques
and philosophies that were handed down to our present day Sensei.
This legacy is one of the components that makes our Dojo unique from
others, for there are few schools that have remained unchanged in
today's world of commercialized Karate.
|
| Our Sensei (instructors) are proud to continue the teachings of
Sensei Zenryo Shimabukuro as he intended them to be. |

| Our Style |
Our style of karate, Okinawan Sukunaihayshi "Shorin-Ryu", was
handed down from the great Sensei Chotoku Kyan (1869-1945) of
Okinawa. Sensei Kyan trained under many Sensei and founded the
Sukunaihayshi style of karate.
|
The Seibukan Dojo was founded by Sensei Zenryo Shimabukuro
(1908-1969) who was a direct student of Sensei Kyan. Sensei
Shimabukuro studied only under Sensei Kyan and studied
only Sukunaihayshi.
|
Sensei Edward Takae trained and studied only under Sensei
Shimabukuro and is the most senior of his students in the USA.
Sensei Takae is the recipient of the only "Shihan Menjo"
(Masters License) known to have been given by Sensei Zenryo
Shimabukuro.
|
| Today, under Sensei Takae's guidance, we continue the unchanged,
traditional teachings of Sukunaihayshi "Shorin-Ryu" karate with
Seibukan Dojo throughout the United States. |
