⛩ SHORINJIRYU KENKOKAN KARATEDO ⛩

Honouring Our Founder & His Legacy

KAISO MASAYOSHI KORI HISATAKA (Seiko Kudaka) – 10th Dan

22 April 1904 — 14 August 1988

Born in Shuri, Okinawa, Kaiso Hisataka was a descendant of Emperor Seiwa, the 56th Emperor of Japan. Trained within his family traditions, he mastered kobudo, jujutsu, judo, and karate, studying under great teachers such as:

• Sanda Kanagusuku (Kobudo)
• Chotoku Kyan (Karate)

Kaiso was a true innovator. He was among the first karate masters to introduce protective training equipment (bogu), including the men (helmet) and dō (body armor), based on his powerful philosophy:

“Protect the target — not the weapons.”

Vital areas of the body should be shielded.
Hands and feet must be conditioned.
Karate must remain real, functional, and dynamic.

SO-SHIHAN MASAYUKI KUKAN HISATAKA (Kudaka) – 10th Dan

Headmaster, Shorinjiryu Kenkokan Karatedo
Founder, World Koshiki Karate Federation (WKKF)

Continuing his father’s vision, Kudaka-Sensei created the scientifically advanced Supersafe Anzen Bogu®, enabling full-contact, realistic shiai while maintaining safety.

Today, WKKF competition spans five continents, guided by one principle:

Only Supersafe Anzen Bogu® is worn.

No gloves. No shin pads. No padded footwear.

This protects the vital targets while preserving the integrity of traditional karate techniques.

⸻

A Living Legacy

Kaiso Kori Hisataka’s philosophy continues through the teachings and leadership of So-Shihan Masayuki Kudaka and the global community of Shorinjiryu practitioners.

**Protect the target.

Condition the weapons.
Preserve the spirit.**
