What is Seibukan Karate?
Seibukan Karate is a style of traditional Okinawa Shōrin-ryū Karate, founded by Zenryō Shimabukuro in 1962. “Seibukan” literally means “school of the sacred art” - a name that immediately shows, how important the virtues cultivated by traditional Karate-Dō were to Sensei Shimabukuro and many masters before him. Among them are clarity, sincerity and first and foremost respect for the art, the partner and oneself.
Seibukan Karate is in the direct lineage of the old Okinawan masters. It combines precise technique, effective self-defense and the development of character and inner strength. The focus is on kihon (basic techniques), kata (forms) and kumite (partner exercises), which are taught and practiced systematically.
Our style emphasizes an upright, natural posture, clear movements, inner stability and the connection between body and mind. Power is generated through speed and efficient use of biomechanics, which is why our style is particularly suitable for smaller people and/or people with less physical strength. We place particular emphasis on passing on karate in its original form - free from show and competition orientation.
Seibukan Karate is more than just a sport - it is a way of personal development.
