Budo Shorei

What Budo Shorei is

Budo Shorei is a traditional Okinawan martial-arts school founded in 1984 by Manuel Vicente Tena and Fernando Jarandilla. Its history says the founders introduced Okinawan Kenpo Karate and the Shorei-Kai kobudo system to Spain in 1987 through teacher Toshio Tamano.

Disciplines

• Kenpo Karate: material connecting Chinese Kenpo in Okinawa with traditional Goju-Ryu karate.
• Kobudo: Okinawan weapons practice following the Shorei-Kai system.
• Chinese medicine: traditional practices presented for physical and mental wellbeing; these should not be treated as a substitute for evidence-based medical diagnosis or treatment.

Publications and activity

The school publishes historical and technical articles on Naha-te, Goju-Ryu principles, Daruma Taiso, kobudo teachers and weapons, Zen and kata. It also reports events including the 2016 International Kobukai Convention in Sunbilla, Navarra, organised with the European Kenpo-Kai Organization.
