What sort of style is Yoshukai?
Yoshukai is a hard Okinawan karate-do style. We are approximately 60% offense, 40% defense. Our techniques concentrate on fighting from a distance and using head and killing strikes to end a fight quickly. We do some self defense and throwing starting at the green belt levels. We use the nunchaku, bo, sai, tonfa, and katana weapons at various ranks, starting at blue with the nunchaku. Yoshukai emphasizes personal achievement and goals rather than forcing a student to perform to the standards of others. Spirit, enthusiasm, and interest are the key qualities in Yoshukai students.
