The Order Of Isshin-Ryu Australia

The JEVC / Liverpool RSL Youth Karate Club aim is to teach quality Isshin-Ryu Karate.

Isshin-Ryu Karate was founded by Master Tatsuo Shimabuku in 1956.

1: All techniques are executed from a natural stance unlike the long difficult stances of some styles.

2: Isshin-Ryu uses the vertical fist as opposed to the horizontal fist used by other styles.

**Though the vertical fist is not exclusive to Isshin-Ryu Karate, it is unique to Isshin-Ryu in comparison to other styles.

3: In fighting techniques for practicability.

4: Sharp low kicks for common sense street survival.

We represent the Liverpool RSL Youth Karate Club and our club's focus and goal is to “help keep the kids off the streets”.

We currently reciprocate with Senior Dan Instructors from various other styles from near and far and through this, have built a bond between our styles.

Although Isshin-Ryu techniques are designed for “economy” and “speed” we still remain "open-minded” in our Martial Arts training.

We cater for every self-defence aspect for modern day, without sacrificing tradition.
