Mission Statement

Okinawan-Shorinryu.com is owned and operated by the Webmaster who is solely responsible for the contents herein.

Okinawan-Shorinryu.com is NOT affiliated with okinawanshorinryu - dot - com!

The mission and function of this web site is to inform the public about the art of Shorin-Ryu, Matsubayashi-Ryu Karate. We will post links to ANY Matsubayashi-Ryu organization that adheres to and follows Grand Master Nagamine's teachings. We will not engage in purposeless political infighting or discussions. We will not attack, ridicule or belittle any student or Sensei. Likewise E-mails directed to this site containing any of the above material will not be acknowledged or responded to.

Any and all constructive criticisms and/or suggestions are both welcomed and solicited.

This web site is dedicated to two people;

Grand Master Nagamine Shoshin and the school and style he created.

Renshi Samuel Palmer, the man who introduced an 18 year old boy to Matsubayashi-Ryu Karate-Do and guided him with patience and understanding.

As long as I have control of this site I will not allow anyone or anything to tarnish the memory of my deceased teachers nor will I bring shame on my present teacher or the style we all represent.
