SPEAKING MY MIND

 

Our goal is to preserve Koryu Karate and its cultural aspects

of Okinawa by training in the old and traditional ways but

also with an open mind for developing and improve in new

techniques. 

 

The styles teach within the association for those that want 

to learn them are: Okinawa Shorin Ryu in the 

style named Ryukyu Koshiki Karatejutsu Kobudo

which is a blend of 3 main Okinawan Shorin Ryu lineages. Our

Kobudo is a blend of Matsumura derivated styles, some Matayoshi katas

& a little of Yamani Ryu also.

​

At the OBHK we also have a Iaido/Kenjustu Ryu Ha

called Shiroi Hi Ryu which specializes in real combat

oriented techniques against empty hands, different

types of weapons but preserving the old ways and

katas.

 

We believe that integrity, honesty, study, hard work and

character should be openly and freely rewarded and not

done so for reasons of vanity or for monetary gain. For the 

OBHK membership we charge a small amount of ($30.00)

annually to buy the materials for certificates and make 

association patches.
