Yoshukai Karate

is a Japanese style of Karate–dō. Karate-do. Karate-do translates as "Way of the Empty Hand." The three ''kanji'' (Japanese symbols) that make up the word Yoshukai literally translate as "Training Hall of Continued Improvement." However, the standardized English translation is "Striving for Excellence." Yoshukai Karate has been featured in ''Black Belt Magazine''. Yoshukai karate is a separate Japanese style from Chito-ryu (which still retains its strong Okinawan roots). Kata, kobudo, kumite, and all karate aspects are drawn from the Founder, Mamoru Yamamoto. Yoshukai is a newer derivative Japanese style. Provided by Wikipedia
