Shukokai (literally translated as "way for all") was founded by Chojiro Tani in 1949. Sensei Tani (1920-1998) started his training under Chojun Miyagi, founder of Goju-Ryu, Sensei Miyagi returned to Okinawa and Sensei Kenwa Mabuni, founder of Shito-Ryu took over the teaching. After many years of training under Sensei Mabuni and becoming one of his most senior students.
Sensei Tani received a certificate of succession, entitling him to use the name Tani-ha Shito-Ryu. Being a direct descendant of Shito-Ryu, Shukokai inherits the characteristics of both the Naha-te and Shuri-te styles of Owinawan karate. The theories behind Shukokai are somewhat complex and it take a lifetime of study to truly understand the art.
