| Tatsuo Shimabuku developed Isshinryu Karate in 1956. Isshinryu is a combination of two great Okinawan karate styles, Shorin-ryu and Goju-ryu. Master Shimabuku also included the study of weapons (Kobudo) into his style. He took the name Isshinryu to mean one heart way. Isshinryu traditionally has eight empty hand Kata and five Kobudo (Weapons) Kata. Master Dave Machamer later combined Isshinryu with Chi Tao Kwan Su Kung Fu. taught to him by Sifu Tony Estramirez. These two styles form the curriculum taught by Sensei Michael Edfors through Perfect Balance Martial Arts. |
