士鍔舘空手とは －

三戦(天・地・人)は岩の如し　技は毬の如し　空手は円の技也　之、士鍔舘空手也。

　Message from Sensei Kazunobu Tsubamoto

　　　The late Grandmaster Sosui Ichikawa devoted his entire life to further developing

　　and polishing the Goju-Ryu Karate-do of the Miyagi - Higa lineage, and as a result ,

　　he created *Nihon Koshu-do, the esoteric and highest level skill of Goju-Ryu Karate-do.

　　　I was initiated into the highest levels of Nihon Goju-Ryu Karate-do and Nihon Koshu-do

　　by Grandmaster Ichikawa, who appointed me SOKE (successor) of Nihon Koshu-do

　　shortly before his passing in 2005.

　　　Grandmaster Ichikawa was the 4th generation (SOKE) of Nihon Goju-Ryu Karate-do,

　　which he inherited from the Miyagi - Higa lineage.

　　　I now work diligently to further develop and refine this authentic and highest level budo

　　which Grandmaster Ichikawa entrusted to me.

　Philosophy of Shigaku-kan Karate:

　　　The truth of the Kata Three Battles ( Universe, Earth, Myself ) is solid like a rock.

　　　Karate skills are like a ball which is always ready to move around.

　　　Karate techniques are the circle movements.

　　　This is Shigaku-kan karate.
