Overview
Visit the main dojo of Yushinkai, a karate organization based in Ichinomiya, Aichi, during its regular evening practice.
After changing into a karate gi (training uniform), meet the Yushinkai instructor leading the session and learn basic dojo etiquette.
Then observe local members—from children to adults—training together and learn about the equipment they use in their practice.
Karate traces its roots to Okinawa and has developed into many different styles.
This program introduces Baishō-ryū, one of these styles, practiced and passed down at Yushinkai.
With a history dating back to 1933, Baishō-ryū has been carried forward for more than 90 years.
After learning about its history and approach to practice, take part in a guided lesson covering posture, breathing, basic techniques,
punches, kicks, and kata.
Through both observation and practice, experience how a community dojo supports learning and personal development across generations.
