Shorin Ryu Committee

Karate, as we know it today, originated on the Ryukyu Archipelago, more commonly known as the island of Okinawa, Japan. The major sites were the villages of Naha, Shuri, and Tomari. Shobayashi Shorin-Ryu originated in Shuri, Okinawa as Shuri-Te and is one of the major branches of modern Shorin-Ryu.  

​

The MUMAA believes that all variations of Karate have something to offer our Karateka. We believe that all styles can peacefully coexist under one banner.
