About
The Takahashi-ha no Ryūkyū - Shuri-te Karate-do was established by O'sensei Takahashi Kentsu Soke, Japan 1900 – 1994; who set in place the teachings and philosophies of our traditional art, establishing strong ethical principals which are the foundation of our time-honoured Ryu. We welcome new members who wish to study and discover the traditional principals and skills within our art; we will not discriminate against any individual or organisation that may join us. The harmony of our philosophy was born from the characters of honesty, integrity, kindness, and compassion; and we welcome everyone who will accept these guiding principles and adhere to these time-honoured teachings. Our aim; is the conservation of Okinawan and Japanese martial arts by continuing the cultural heritage which has been gifted to us; by demonstrating sincere devotion and humility to our study; therefore all students are asked to display sincere respect towards the art which they study; their Sensei's; fellow students and Dojo guests.
Indeed this is our “Mission Statement.
