SHITO
RYU 糸東流
The founder of Shito-Ryu is
Mabuni
Kenwa Sensei (1889
- 1952), 17th generation to
Keimochi dynasty (Aristocratic
title of ranked families in
Okinawa). At the age of 13
Mabuni Sensei learned Shuri-Te
from Itosu Anku, which was
already 70 years old. Later on
Mabuni was taught Kempo by the
Chinese teacher Gokenki and
then he practiced Naha-Te
Karate as well from Higashiona
Kanryu. Mabuni was taught and
practiced with well known
teachers as Aragaki Kamadeuncu
(1840 - 1920), Sueyoshi Jino
(1846 - 1920) and Tawada
Shimbuku (1851 - 1920). Mabuni
Sensei wanted to create a
single style that
characterizes Okinawan Karate
and this is the reason why
Shito-Ryu syllabus includes a
vast collection (60 - 70) of
katas. Mabuni combined Shuri-Te
and Naha-Te into a single
style and called it "Han-Ko
Ryu" (half hard style) but
later on he diverted the name
to "Shi-To Rru" in owner of
his two teachers ("Shi" -
first kanji of Itosu, "To" -
first kanji of Higashiona).
Later on Shito Ryu was divided
to five streams: Kempo-Kai,
Itosu-Kai, Shito-Kai, Sei-Shin-Kai
and Shuko-Kai.
SANSHIN-KAN
彡身館
SHITO RYU SANSHIN KAN KARATE
DO is derived from SHURI-TE,
NAHA-TE and TOMARI-TE streams.
The term "SAN" (three in
Japanese) stands for:
Tradition, Spirit and Justice.
SANSHIN-KAN founder,
Kancho,
has established the style
tracking the deep knowledge
and vast experience he
accumulated in close combat
fighting during war as a
commander in the Foreign
Legion. Kancho is well
recognized as one of the
Europe's premier close combat
experts and he has trained
Police and Armed Forces in
close combat and self-defense
in various countries e.g. USA,
Canada, France, Turkey and
Israel.
SANSHIN-KAN organization was
established in the year of
1969.
The roots in Israel are laid
in 1975 when there was a first
visit of well known high
ranking Karate teachers from
Europe and Japan in Israel. It
was the first time that
SANSHIN-KAN founder, who is
titled today officially as "Kancho",
visited Israel with another
two Japanese teachers. There
was a show which was recorded
on the Israeli television. In
1978 Arye Berko Sensei
established the main branch ("Honbu
Dojo", 本部 道場)
in Israel while another Dojo

Florentine Sensei in Tel Aviv.
