About Shuri Ryu
In the year 1373, the settlement of Kume Mura was founded on the island of Okinawa by the Chinese. Many years later, T'ung Gee Hsiang, who was living in Kume Mura at the time was approached by the legendary Choki Motobu and together, they combined their vast knowledge to develop the system of Shuri as it is taught today.
Karate was intoduced to the Okinawan public school system in 1901 by Anko Itosu. A brilliant pupil of Master Itosu named Gichin Funakoshi formally introduced karate to Japan in 1922 and went on to develop a style of karate called Shotokan.
In 1942, a young U.S. Navy serviceman named Robert A Trias was fortunate to cross paths with Master Hsiang and soon began the training he would bring back to America. When World War II ended in 1945, Master Trias returned to the United States and introduced karate to America. He opened his first school in 1946 and formed the United States Karate Association two years later.
