The late great Shigeru Nakamura tells us “there is no RyuHa (meaning there is no such thing as a style) in Karate.” In one noted meeting to a group of younger karateka, Nakamura continues: “Karate originates from the same universal ‘body’ of knowledge. Karate consists of many singular unique expressions of the same body of information.”
Shigeru Nakamura, (1894-1969).
Shigeru Nakamura firmly believed there was no “one style” of karate. He thought the divisions of karate styles would only bring the downfall and demise of a great combat tested martial art.
