About Joshinmon Karatedo Shorinryu

"Traditional and Modern Karate-do Joshinmon" was founded in 1969 by the First Soke Ikeda Hoshu. It is based on the martial art style of Kiyan Chotoku from Okinawa, who was regarded as a great master of modern Shorin-ryu. Our Founder created the framework of the school, based on the idea of the two pillars of tradition and creativity, aiming for harmony of modern and traditional. This is where the breadth and depth of Joshinmon Karate lies, and we are proud to say that these are the values of our martial arts culture, that we should uphold.

Joshinmon's comprehensive philosophy was born based on meticulous research into traditional Japanese martial arts and various forms of karate, Chinese martial arts as well as Seitai medical methods.

The term "Traditional and Modern" is based on the idea of preserving the old ways and harmonizing them with the times, and it describes the dual role of tradition and creation. Therefore, to distinguish our school from other Shorinryu styles, it is called "Joshinmon Shoriryu," and its international organization is called the "International Joshinmon Shorinryu Karatedo Federation (i.e. I.J.S.K.F.).
