    I.S.K.U.

    I.S.K.U. stands for International Shitoryu Karate Union. It is a non-political and non-profit organization formed by Shihan Athula Minithanthri.

    It doesn’t matter where you come from, just that we have the same Shitoryu interests.

    One of the goals is to help and support coaches, teachers and masters of Shito-ryu from all over the world in teaching Shito-ryu knowledge. Along with this, the general improvement of Shitoryu karate knowledge is part of it.

    Yes, a membership is free.

    Shito-Ryu

    Kenwa Mabuni is the founder of the Shito-ryu karate style. He was born on November 14, 1889 in Shuri on Okinawa.

    It is highly probable that Mabuni came from a well-known Okinawan noble family and that was a 17th generation descendant of the famous bushi Ufugusuku Kenyu.

    Shito-ryu is one of the major four main styles of modern karate which was founded in 1934 by Kenwa Mabuni.

    Shito-ryu is a karate style which attempts to unite different roots of karate. To be precise, Shito-ryu is a synthesis of the Okinawan Shuri-te and Naha-te schools.
