KOKISHIN-RYU
TOSHUKUKEN - "In Okinawa there is a kind of miraculous martial art widely spread throughout the prefecture since ancient times....which follows its own distinctive conditions and has a different taste. It is empty-handed and - without carrying weapons - .... to skillfully crush the enemy with one blow, suppress brutality with one kick, and its a martial-art made for self protection that ensures living in peace and survival... it is KARATE.".....
-Choki Motobu (from my art and skill of karate pg. 3)
KOKISHIN-RYU is a blend of Zundel Sensei's life experience in the martial arts. It is the physical practice based on the principles of TOSHUKUKEN - laid down by Motobu & Funakoshi
