About Matsumura Seito Shorin-Ryu

Matsumura Seito Shorin Ryu is a traditional form of karate from the Ryu Kyu islands, which are located to the south of Japan.

Everyone is strong and weak in the same way. All of us have nerves, tendons, joints and muscles that will respond in a predetermined manner when specific pressure is applied to them.

Matsumura Seito Shorin Ryu offers an extremely effective method of self-defense, because in addition to blocking, striking, kicking and punching, Matsumura Seito Shorin Ryu incorporates many grappling, locking and escape techniques (Called Tuite Jitsu). Along with precise strikes against selected anatomical points of the nervous or circulatory systems, an attacker will be temporarily disabled beyond the ability to renew his attack

Here pressure, not strength, is the key to the resolution of a threatening situation. Matsumura Seito is also a very well rounded system because along with standing techniques, we also teach you how to handle yourself on the ground.
