Seishinkan Budō School

Today we honour Tatsuo Shimabuku Sensei (島袋 龍夫先生), founder of Isshin-Ryū Karate (一心流空手), who passed away 51 years ago.

September 19, 1908 – May 30, 1975

More than five decades after his passing, Shimabuku Sensei’s teachings continue to inspire karateka around the world. Through his vision, dedication, and pursuit of effective self-defence, he created a system that combined elements of Okinawan karate and kobudō into what became Isshin-Ryū—“The Way of One Heart” (一心流).

His legacy lives on in every dojo, every kata, every act of discipline, respect, and perseverance demonstrated by his students and their successors.

Kyū Rank Examination
Stockholm, Sweden
May 2026

We congratulate the students for successfully pass their respective kyū rank examinations in Isshinryū Karate during the last 10th of May, 2026, occasion in which Mr. Alexander Ziliakus also complete his Tokushinryū Kobudō examination after an intense training program under the direction of Diego sensei and the close mentorship of Senpai Menno Djik.

Stationed in Stockholm for a 7 months period, Mr. Ziliakus took part of the regular Isshinryū Karate and Tokushinryū Kobudō training sessions as a Shorinryū Seibukan representative with supreme dedication, displaying his karate with grace, good character and contributing to our student's community in the process. As a result of this, a certificate of recognition was presented by Seishinkan Budō School Sweden as a token of appreciation for his time with us. We wish him well and success in his future development.

We encourage all our students once again to continue training with dedication and discipline, and to continue developing a good martial character.

For you support and dedication,
どうもありがとうございます
