Shorinji Ryu Karate
Famed Karate Master Chotoku Kyan lived one main principle in his years of studying and teaching Karate: never change the katas throughout his years as a student and then a master. Keep them pure and true to tradition no matter the changes in day to day events. His student, Jyoen Nakazato, based his own system, Shorinji-Ryu, on this ideal in order to get back to a more traditional way of teaching and practicing. He wanted to return Karate back to the purity of its origins in response to the modern school of thought that kept adapting and changing the katas.
Shorinji-Ryu can be broken down into three main forms: Shorinji-Ryu Renshinkan, Shorinji-Ryu Kenkokan Karate and Japanese Shorinji Kempo. Shorinji-Ryu Renshinkan was developed by Isamu Tamotsu and focuses on kicking and evasion. By utilizing higher stances, Shorinji-Ryu Renshinkan becomes a style of very quick movements. Shorinji-Ryu Kenkokan Karate combines the original teachings of Chotoku Kyan with Chinese elements to create a unique version of Jyoen Nakazato’s system. On the other hand, while recognized as a religion in Japan, Japanese Shorinji Kempo has evolved in such a way as to have little in common with martial arts any more.
One thing the two Shorinji-Ryu Karate styles have in common is the philosophy of non-violence and the demand for maturity, both mentally and emotionally. The two forms seek to avoid or dissipate tensions before engaging in combat as a last resort. Another commonality is the characterization of both forms by great mobility and swift movements. While they both focus on speed, the functionality is marked different.
