The origins of Ishinryu

Ishinryu Karate (founded 1973)
The word "Karate" means empty hand, and is a form of martial art. Karate is widely practiced all over the world by a wide variety of people of all shapes, size, age, sex and ability. In Britain karate is practiced by well over 150,000 people and the figure grows daily.
Karate is often portrayed in the media as a destructive activity and dangerous activity, no doubt it has that potential. Usually as part of a public display, a karate expert will sometimes break a plank of wood or smash a pile of roofing tiles with a vicious hand strike or kick, this has given the general public the wrong impression of the essence of karate. Anyone can learn to perform such tricks with a little practice and some faith.
Karate is by far much more sophisticated, it requires detailed knowledge, it demands long and patient practice to develop accuracy and speed of attack, it calls for high moral and spiritual development.
