Founder of Isshinryu Karate

Tatsuo Shimabuku...Dragon man...Isshinryu (one heart/one mind) introduced in 1954 by Tatsuo Shimabuku. Sensei Shimabuku Studied both the Shorin-Ryu and Goju-Ryu systems; studied Kobayashi-Ryu under Chotoku Kiyan and later under Choki Motobu. Then He studied the Bo, Sai and Tonfa under Okinawa's most noted instructors. Isshinryu is a combination of the best of these styles and weapons techniques and epitomizes the powerful, lightning-fast techniques that enabled the weaponless Okinawans to endure the rein of the Chinese empire and to defeat the sword-wielding Samurai of Japan.

The Mizugami

Goddess...This patch represents an inspirational dream/vision that Shimabuku had while he was considering the creation of Isshinryu. The patch itself is in the shape of an Isshinryu fist. The female character, is a sea goddess named Magami by Master Shimabuku. She represents the serenity that a Karateka should display. Her left hand is held open in a sign of peace; her right is clenched in a fist, representing strength in case of bad intentions. The dragon ascending toward the three stars represents a sign of good luck and wisdom. Also Master Shimabuku's first name Tatsuo, means "Dragon Man", which may be significant as well. The three stars are interpreted to represent several things, Among them Master Shimabuku's three formal teachers, the mental, physical, and spiritual aspects of Isshinryu and several others.
