The art of Matsubayashi-Ryu was founded in 1947 by O’Sensei Shoshin Nagamine. The WMKA was established by him to preserve and perpetuate the art. It has branches throughout the world. As his father’s successor, Soke Takayoshi Nagamine dedicated himself to preserving his father’s teachings and the legacy of Matsubayashi-Ryu. After the loss of Soke Nagamine, the WMKA board elected Yoshitaka Taira, Hanshi, 10th Dan to serve as the current WMKA President.

SHORIN RYU KARATE-DO INTERNATIONAL

Okinawa Shorin Ryu Karate Do Kobudo India is a dojo of SRKDI in India

SRKDI represents a collection of dojos and practitioners of Okinawan karate from around the world, and we relish the opportunity to share ideas and training practices so as to better our dojos, students, and ourselves. We believe that karate training should respect the traditional ways, but it should also never become a stagnant pond. To that end, we strive to reflect upon our training and to share training, practice, teaching, and management insights with each other. That is what it means to be in association with other karateka.
