is a style of karate founded by Kori Hisataka (Seiki Kudaka in Okinawan) (1907–1988) shortly after World War II in Japan. The primary arts of Shōrinjiryū Kenkōkan Okinawan karate and Okinawan Kobudo, as taught to the founder by masters including Chotoku Kyan〔100 Masters of Okinawan Karate, Okinawa Gojuryu Kenshi-kai Karate-do Kobudo Association, by Tetsuhiro Hokama and Charles (Joe) Swift (translator), p. 61/2〕 and Sanda Kanagusuku, as well as Judo, which Kori Hisataka studied at the Kodokan, obtaining the rank of 4th Dan after only 1 years training.〔Essential Shorinjiryu Karatedo, First Edition, Charles E. Tuttle Company, by Masayuki Kukan Hisataka, p. 41, ISBN 0-8048-1953-X〕 Other component arts include Judo, Aikijutsu and Chinese Bajiquan, which the founder studied on his extensive tours of Japan, China and Asia. The style is responsible for a number of innovations to karate training including: * Use of the heel when kicking * Whole body is put into action when executing a technique, using a follow through motion〔Unante, Second Edition, Panchita S. Hawley, by John Sells, p. 169, ISBN 0-910704-96-1〕 * Use of the vertical fist (tate ken)〔Unante, Second Edition, Panchita S. Hawley, by John Sells, p. 169, ISBN 0-910704-96-1〕 * Practice of yakusoku kumite * Use of protective equipment to allow the karatedo student to test their techniques without having to hold back their power〔Unante, Second Edition, Panchita S. Hawley, by John Sells, p. 120/1, ISBN 0-910704-96-1〕 * Practice of weapons (buki ho) In some aspects, Shorinjiryu Karate has a strong resemblance to Japanese Koryu Budo, in that it has a great emphasis on pre-arranged two-person drills (yakusoku kumite). One person kata is an important practice, and the main kata taught in the style in its early days were versions of Naihanchin, Nijushiho, Sanchin, Chinto and Kusanku, as well as a Bō (6 ft staff) kata (Shishiryu no Bo), a Jo (4 ft staff) kata and a Sai (iron truncheon) kata (Nijushiho no Sai). Other kata were introduced later, mainly by the son of the founder, Masayuki Hisataka. Following Kori Hisataka's retirement in 1974, his son Masayuki Hisataka took over as head of the organization. He has expanded the reach of the style worldwide and trained karateka all over the world. == Grading structure == Like many styles of karate to date, the grading structure runs on a belt system, with 10 coloured belt levels (kyu) for non-black holders (mudansha) and 10 levels (dan) for black belt holders (yudansha). The following describes the grading structure utilised by the Shorinjiryu Kenkokan organisation〔Scientific Karatedo, First Edition, Japan Publications, by Masayuki Hisataka, p. 22, ISBN 0-87040-362-1〕 and many of the descendent schools. Other descendent schools may utilise alternative structures, though all use 10 levels for black belt holders. The 10 levels of coloured belts used in Shorinjiryu Kenkokan and many descendent schools are: * 10th kyu - White belt * 9th kyu - Yellow/White stripe * 8th kyu - Yellow belt * 7th kyu - Orange/White Stripe * 6th kyu - Orange belt * 5th kyu - Green/White Stripe * 4th kyu - Green belt * 3rd kyu - Brown/White Stripe * 2nd kyu - Brown belt * 1st kyu - Black/White Stripe Black belt holders (yudansha) all wear a black belt that may be embroidered with the holder's name and style. There are ceremonial belts for high-ranking black belts, including the red and white panelled belt for holders of 6th, 7th and 8th Dan, and a red belt for 9th and 10th Dan masters. Some derivative schools of Shorinjiryu Kenkokan utilise additional ceremonial belts. Masayuki Hisataka is currently the highest graded proponent of the Shorinjiryu Kenkokan organisation, holding the rank of 9th Dan and the title of ''Hanshi''.〔http://www.kenkokan-karate.com/en/sihan/main.htm〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shōrinjiryū Kenkōkan Karate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
