Okinawa-kenpo is a karate style which has been developed based on ancient Okinawan martial arts called "Ti". Its technique and thought were studied and refined by a Tomari-te master, Shinkichi Kuniyoshi (also known as "BUSHI" Kuniyoshi) and passed down to Grand Master Shigeru Nakamura, the founder of Okinawa-kenpo. Grand Master Nakamura opened his own dojo "Okinawa-kenpo Karate-do Shurenjo" at Onaka, Nago city and taught his art of karate.

A 2K display provides roughly 3.6 million pixels, significantly more than the 2 million pixels found in standard 1080p Full HD. Benefits of Watching Movies in 2K HD
| Scenario | Recommendation | | :--- | :--- | | | Stick to 2K/HD. You likely cannot see the pixels of 4K from your couch. 2K looks perfect. | | You have a large 4K TV (65"+) | Seek Native 4K. Look up if a movie is "Native 4K" or "2K Upscale" on sites like Real or Fake 4K . If it is an upscale, prioritize standard HD/Blu-ray to save money unless you want HDR. | | You love older Movies (80s/90s) | 2K is usually sufficient. The Blu-ray versions of classics like Jurassic Park or The Matrix are stunning and often barely distinguishable from the 4K version from a normal viewing distance. | | You stream everything | 2K (HD) is the sweet spot. Streaming 4K requires very fast internet and still uses heavy compression. A stable HD stream usually provides a more consistent, buffer-free experience with great picture quality. |
In practical terms, 2K offers on screen. That’s twice the detail of standard 720p HD, but not as demanding as 4K (which requires about 8 million pixels).
Old style karate techniques and training methods still remain in our system. We train with those methods, which are rarely seen in other Ryuha these days.

Torite (grabbing)
Buki-jutsu (weapons)
Our techniques, from empty hands to weapons,are incorporated in a coherent system and consist of common basic skills.
