- Kosho Shorei Ryu History
-
-
This
ancient art was founded in 1235 AD by a monk
who, according to legend, meditated under an
old pine tree and discovered the meaning of
true self-defense. Utilizing proper
strategies, the monk could make an attacker
undo his own attack in such a way that
allowed for both the attacker and defender
to remain uninjured. The monk chose a name
for this art to reflect its spirit and
origins. Hence, Kosho Shorei Ryu, which
means "Old Pine Tree School of
Encouragement," was developed.
The 21st descendant of Kosho Shorei Ryu,
James (Masayoshi) Mitose, moved to Hawaii in
1936 and taught his art from 1942 until
1946. It is from these early teachings that
much of what’s known today as Kempo has
developed.
Robert Ito, the head instructor of
Ito's White Tiger Dojo, holds instructor's
ranks in both Kempo and Kosho Shorei Ryu
under Bruce Juchnik-hanshi, the man
presently responsible for keeping Kosho
Shorei Ryu Kempo alive.
