KoSho Karate Honbu Headquarters for KoSho Karate in Arizona. It is located on Oracle and Roger in Tucson, Arizona (map). USAKF Hanshi George Anderson, Shihan Linebarger's teacher heads this organization, based in Arkron, OH USKA Since this organization has dojos in the Southwest, we play with them quite regularly. Martial Arts for Peace We have recently begun looking at how we can work with Terrence Webster-Doyle in his Bully Buster program. Martial Arts Teachers' Association Mona Lisa's Sword Susan and Laura are trained by Mona Lisa's Sword, a network of women and men, committed to action, advocacy, and the importance of quality personal safety training as a need in all communities and for all individuals. |
The style we do is a uniquely KoSho version of Shuri-ryu. If you are interested in what else is going on with our Shuri-ryu, here are a few links. Hanshi Abele's Site He has videos of the ippons (using the traditional way of numbering them) on his media page. They are quite similar (but not identical) to the way we do them. Also on the media page is a very impressive demonstration of sweeps. Shuri-ryu International Association Probably the largest association of Shuri-ryu stylists. The Shuri-ryu Yahoo discussion group Lots of senior people, folks who have been doing Shuri-ryu for decades join regular students for good discussions, questions about history, and the occasional argument. An old video of Vic Moore (Shuri-ryu, in the white gi) fighting Joe Lewis, one of the legends of karate and kickboxing. It shows, among other things, how much tournament fighting has changed over the years. |
