Martial Arts: Shukokai
Shukokai has foundations that lie in Shito Ryu, as the founder Chojiro Tani was a student in that style. Shukokai contains all the normal elements of striking and kicking found in other Japanese martial arts. Shukokai places more emphasis on speed and higher stances, which makes it a very suitable style for tournament karate.
Origin of Shukokai: Japan
Founder of Shukokai: Chjiro Tani
