Kamishin Ryu

Featured Replies

Has anyone ever trained in this style of karate? I had not heard of it until I stumbled spin a dojo thus morning. Is it quite traditional? Are there similarities to other styles?

The internet found this:

"It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenius."

The word “Kamishin” is used quite frequently in gendai arts and their names.

Kami = God or Spirit

Shin = Heart or truth

So in most cases Kamishin-ryu – means something along the lines of “school of the divine truth”

These guys seem to have quite a large group here in the UK and seem to be more Karate orientated:

It's an off shoot of Kyukushinkai Karate.

If you believe in an ideal. You don't own it ; it owns you.

I could be wrong, but I don't think it's Kyukoshin in this case.

As explained, "Kamishin" as a very popular name in Japanese Budo, but I’m not aware of many Kyukoshin groups here in the UK that operate with that name.

Happy to stand corrected of course.
