The ISSHINKAI was an informal group on Okinawa who were students of
Isshinryu Karate founder, Shimabuku Tatsuo. They would get together to
discuss the "old days" and their revered teacher.

Today, the
ISSHINKAI is a Karate & Kobudo Association that strives to preserve
the original teachings of Shimabuku Tatsuo. The
ISSHINKAI'S Chief Instructor is
Arcenio Advincula. Sensei Advincula has more time than any other American
training directly with Shimabuku Tatsuo Sensei.
