Shōrinji-ryū (少林寺流) (translation: Shaolin Temple Family/Style) is a form of karate derived from the teachings of Okinawan masters influenced by Chinese martial arts, most prominently Kanga “Tode” Sakugawa. The style is related to Shorin-Ryu and Shorinji Kempo. Well known practitioners (and the organizations they founded) include Richard Kim (Zen Bei Butoku Kai), Kori Hisataka, (Shōrinjiryū Kenkōkan Karate), Soke Isamu Tamotsu (Shorinjiryu Karate-do Renshinkan), and Joen Nakazato (Okinawan Shorinji Ryu).[1][2][3]
