A link to the past is your bridge to the future: Koryu Uchinadi’s unique system of application practices is the bridge between kata and kumite. Learned correctly, it can enhance the depth and value of any dojo curriculum without adversely affecting its cosmetic appearance or taking anything away from its cultural heritage. Karate represents the perfect fusion of science and art to create a transformative-like magic. It is a highly challenging method of conditioning the body, cultivating the mind and nurturing the spirit. A time-honoured practice, the art is also a unique pathway to self-discovery. Practicing the art links us inconspicuously to its past; through discipline and sacrifice, we discover our inner-self; by training together, we forge essential bonds of friendship; and by living the art, we honour its heritage. Bringing together like-minded people in pursuit of common goals is what the IRKRS does, and chimugukuru, a local Okinawan term, best represents the spirit and selfless desire to help others through its cultural heritage. The essence of this spirit is best expressed through Karate-do, Okinawa’s gift to world peace 🐉
