About Shotokan-ryu

Shotokan-ryu is a style of karate, developed from various martial arts by Gichin Funakoshi (1868–1957) and his son Gigo (Yoshitaka) Funakoshi (1906–1945).
As the most widely practiced style, Shotokan-ryu is considered a traditional and influential form of karate do.

Characteristics of Japan Karate Shoto Federation (JKS)

Shotokan-ryu training is usually divided into three parts: kihon (basics), kata (forms or patterns of moves), and kumite (sparring).
Techniques in kihon and kata are characterised by deep, long stances that provide stability, enable powerful movements, and strengthen the legs.
Shotokan-ryu is regarded as a dynamic martial art as it develops anaerobic, powerful techniques as well as developing speed.
