Скачать или смотреть Shūkōkai: The Most Specific Karate Style

Shukokai grew out of the postwar Japanese karate scene with a very specific lineage and a very particular aim. The founder, Chojiro Tani, was born in Kobe and came of age in the turbulent years before the Pacific War. As a university student in Kyoto he first encountered the Goju tradition through Chojun Miyagi, who spent time teaching at Doshisha University in the late nineteen thirties. When Miyagi returned to Okinawa he directed the serious young practitioner to his close friend Kenwa Mabuni, the architect of Shito-ryu. Under Mabuni, Tani absorbed material from both the Naha and Shuri lines as well as the Tomari stream, and he learned the way his teacher collected and codified kata across lineages. After the war, with Japan rebuilding, Tani began teaching his own classes in the Kansai region and adopted the term Shukokai for his group in the late nineteen forties. In Japanese sources you can find the origin dated to the first years after the war in Kobe, while in English and European club histories the formal founding is often placed in the year Nineteen forty-nine. The agreement across these accounts is first that the curriculum and spirit were grounded in Shito-ryu and second that the name Shukokai described the association of people training together as much as a technical branch. The term itself uses characters that speak to studying and interacting in a gathering, and it has long been rendered in English as the way for all.
