Shuri-ryū
Shuri-ryū (首里流) karate is an eclectic martial arts system developed by Robert Trias (1923–1989), reportedly the first American to teach a form of karate in the mainland United States, who opened his first public dojo in 1946 in Phoenix, Arizona.
Shuri-ryū is a style that has a lineage coming from a variety of sources, including karate. Other influences include xingyiquan.
Trias was first introduced to karate while in the Navy during World War II when he was stationed in the Solomon Islands. In 1944, Robert Trias met Tung Gee Hsing and began training with him. Hsing practiced the Chinese system of xingyiquan and had reportedly cross-trained with Motobu Chōki in the Okinawan village of Kume Mura several years previously. Later, Trias reportedly studied with Hoy Yuan Ping in Singapore in 1944.
In addition to these teachers, Trias learned from other martial arts teachers, such as Yajui Yamada (judo), Gogen Yamaguchi (Gōjū-ryū), Roy Oshiro (Gōjū-ryū), Yasuhiro Konishi (Shindō jinen-ryū), Makoto Gima (Shotokan, Shitō-ryū), and others. Both Konishi and Gima served as mentors to Trias instead of in a formal teacher-student relationship. Konishi recognized and countersigned Trias's promotion certificate to 9th Dan by the USKA in the 1960s. Gima recognized Trias as the 10th Dan in 1983.[This paragraph needs citation(s)]
In addition to the punches, blocks, and kicks of karate, Shuri-ryū also incorporates joint locks, takedowns and throws, and kobudō (traditional weapons). Shuri-ryū follows a system of teachings called the Haryu, which are identifiers of the system.
Shuri-ryū also has several short combinations. These include 26 ippon (ippon kumite kata); 10 taezu (taezu naru waza); 30 kihon; eight sen-te motions; and seven kogeki-ho ho. In addition, there are training exercises including form sparring (kata kumite), focus stance sparring (kime dachi kumite), free exercise (jiyū undō), and free sparring (jiyū kumite).
Shuri-ryū has three form exercises called Taikyoku Ichi, Ni, and San to prepare the student to learn the 15 core forms (kata):
There are other variations of Sanchin and Tenshō. The senior sensei of Shuri-ryū also teach several other forms, such as Shudoso and art, which teach Hakutsuru Shodan, Nidan, Sandan, and Yondan.
