摩文仁 賢和, Mabuni Kenwa
«Kaiso» (Founder) Kenwa Mabuni, creator of Shitoryu Karate

The descendant of warriors of Ryukyu from the kingdom of a noble king Kenio Oshiro, the founder of karate-do Shitoryu, Master Kenwa Mabuni was born on November 14, 1889 in Shuri, Okinawa. As a Kenio family successor, Master Mabuni used a hieroglyph “Ken” – “Clever”, “Wise” which later on was applied as a principal in Shitoryu schools and its philosophy and by that Kenwa Mabuni meant “Wise and Harmonious”.

拳禅一如
Ken Zen Ichinyo
Strength of body. Strength of spirit. One path.
The fist and the spirit are one. True karate training is not only physical. The body must be forged through hard practice, and the spirit must be cultivated through discipline, humility, and perseverance.
Physical strength and spiritual strength must develop together.

Training Sanchin combined with Kaatsu method.

Kaatsu (加圧, often styled as KAATSU) is a patented exercise method developed by Dr. Yoshiaki Sato that is based on blood flow moderation exercise (or vascular occlusion moderation training) involving compression of the vasculature proximal to the exercising muscles by the Kaatsu Bands.

KAATSU is Japanese and literally means "additional pressure" -- additional ("ka") pressure ("atsu"). Kaatsu bands also calls “Blood Flow Restricted” or “Occlusion” bands.

They used to say running is the mother of all sports.
But times have changed—and so has the science.

These days, we know that muscle is a longevity organ.
Whatever your sport, whatever your physical activity,
weight training isn’t optional—it’s essential.

It builds strength, protects joints, improves posture,
and keeps your body young and resilient.

Here’s a glimpse of my session today at the gym—
staying strong, staying ready.

Let’s keep lifting. 💪

Sanchin & Naihanchi (三戦 & 内歩進)

Shito-ryu Karate combines the speed and precision of Shuri-te with the rooted power and close-range control of Naha-te. This blend creates a system with both long-range striking and short-range engagement.

Kenwa Mabuni stressed that Sanchin and Naihanchi are not only forms but methods for building Karate skill. He emphasized exact stance, posture, breathing rhythm, hip use, and mental focus. Small errors in alignment, tension, or timing weaken the result. You must train both the internal elements such as breathing, core engagement, and mental intent, and the external elements such as proper stance, correct posture, foot position, and hand technique. This ensures the lessons of Sanchin and Naihanchi carry into many movement in Shito-ryu Karate.

Consistent, focused practice of Sanchin and Naihanchi will build core skills that support many key techniques in your Karate.
