Okinawa's Superman: KIYOHIDE SHINJO sensei walks us through the essence of UECHI-RYU Karate

Спорт

We had the honor of asking sensei Kiyohide Shinjo, nicknamed “Okinawa’s Superman” due to his remarkable achievements and now a 10th-degree blackbelt, the essence of Uechi-Ryu karate as well as his aspirations for future generations. Take a look.

    Shinjo sensei is truly renowned! He is a 9 time prefectural champion in kata and kumite and now the chairman of Uechi-Ryu kenyukai, an organization with over a hundred dojos worldwide. Truly a legend of a sort!

    Shinjo has made himself a joke and Uechi-ryu one as well. His emphasis on breaking boards is useles, embarrassing and archaic.
