"Karate's primary concern is simply self-defense. Of course, defense and offense cannot exist without each other. Consequently, training in superior defensive techniques necessitates training in superior offensive techniques."

Training in the art of Shorei-Kan Karate requires discipline and the control and strengthening of both physical and mental energies toward the goal of a "state of enlightenment" and physical excellence.

Master Seikichi Toguchi (1917-1998), Father of Shorei-Kan
May 20, 1917: Born in Hana City, Okinawa Prefecture, as the third son of Masahide Toguchi
1932: Joined Higa Dojo, the only branch dojo of Goju-Ryu Karate-Do founder Master Chojun Miyagi. Received instructions by both Master Miyagi and Master Seko Higa.
1942: Sent to Palenbang Refinery in southern Sumatra, Indonesia, as a civilian in the military service. Taught Karate to military personnel and Indonesians.
His accomplishments and credits are too numerous to detail but suffice it to say that he was at the center of Okinawan Goju-Ryu Karate world. He was the last living Okinawan Karate master to receive the title of 'Bushi' a title also held by his teacher, Master Chojun Miyagi.
Master Toguchi leaves behind a strong organization which is now headed by his son, Master Seki Toguchi. He is also survived by his wife and grandchildren. His physical presence will be deeply missed but his spirit and inspiration in Budo Karate will always be there.

In Shorei-Kan Karate the kyu (Dan) ranks have three colours of belts starting with white going to green and then brown. Strips are sown on the belts for rankings in between the colours. Once black belt is achieved there is no dan ranking on the belt. Shorei-Kan black belts have Japanese calligraphy embroidered on their belts. On one side is their name and on the other is usually Shorei-Kan Goju Ryu and the Dojo.
