Shorinji-ryu karate-do Renshinkan was started by soke founder Isamu Tamotsu, 10th-dan (hanshi), in Kagoshima City, Japan, in 1955. Mr. Tamotsu was born in Naze City, Kagoshima Prefecture in 1919. He was given elementary lessons of karate by fishermen in Itoman, Okinawa in his boyhood and moved to Taiwan when he was 17. Tamotsu learned Kodokan judo and acquired Chinese Shorinji Nampa (southern) Kempo from roshi Chin at the same time. After the World War II, he acquired Kyan Chen Mie (legendary karate-ka) meijin jikiryu (traditional school) in Okinawa.
Integrating these martial arts with houen-ryu-taijutsu (houen-ryu gymnastic art), kensou-ryu-jujutsu (kensou-ryu yawara), hakkou-ryu-jujutsu (hakkou-ryu yawara), bo (long baton), sai (short sword-like weapon), jo (short baton), ancient Chinese martial arts, etc., and establishing his own viewpoint, Tamotsu started Renshinkan Shorinji-ryu karate-do.
With excellent techniques and high spirituality, Renshinkan has been spreading quickly all over Japan and the world for the last 43 years. Renshinkan boasts of 1,000 branches and 300,000 students in Japan.
Renshinkan is also proliferating in many foreign countries {ﾐepublic of China, USA, Philippines, India, Puerto Rico, Dominica, Finland, Sweden, Russia, Mexico, Brazil, and Panama.
In "Black Belt" an American martial arts magazine, a great number of Syorinji-ryu kata's and sparring techniques from the second soke, Iwao Tamotsu were introduced.
★ How to join Shorinji-ryu Renshinkan karate-do
Just make a phone call first! All you need is karate-gi!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You first learn kukan-zuki. Hold both of your fists firm, thrust one of your hands with speed and power, pull the other backwards and strike with the elbow. It is important to maintain your axis and turn your shoulders and waist quickly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mae-geri is a technique to kick the opponent with the upper part of the foot. It is the basic technique of various kicks. Continue training to kick as far as you can to the extent you don't lose your axis. Kicks vary a lot, but the basic kick remains to be mae-geri.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sokuto-geri is the technique to kick the opponent with the side of your foot. Techniques with elasticity and power of the entire body in the waist have big destructive power and characterize Renshinkan Shorinji-ryu karate-do.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These three basic techniques are the essence of all.
Those practicing Renshinkan Shorinji-ryu karate-do are advised to practice these techniques every day.
Explained next are zenshin (forward) and kotai (backward), basics of shubi-gata (defense forms).

Single exposure, 3 SB-80s: CL wall/ceiling bounce; two on left side of bedroom, one bounced high off white closet door and one wall/ceiling bounce. There's some flash reflection on the right side of window...didn't catch that on camera LCD (maybe it's time to join the CamRanger ranks?)
Wish I'd have gotten more of a 2/3-to-1/3 comp. I'm thinking I had a reason for not panning more to the left...but now I have no idea what it could have been :-)
All comments and suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks!
