Welcome to the Shorinjiryu Shinzen Kyokai Homepage.

The expressed purpose of the Shorinjiryu Shinzen Kyokai is to foster harmonious relations between and among the various schools of Shorinjiryu, to establish a forum by which the various schools of Shorinjiryu can come together to share ideas, techniques, competition, philosophies and friendship; to recognize, to support, to validate and to issue gradings; to establish a common ranking system of titles, kyu and dan grades, yet maintain the principle of noninterference within each individual school.

The Kyokai is open to practitioners of Shorinjiryu as formulated by Shinan Kori (Kudaka) Hisataka with proper documentation and application review. Membership shall not be denied due to race, national origin, gender, religion or age.
