Style of karate founded by Kenwa Mabuni. It can be seen as a
combination of Shotokan and Goju-Ryu styles. As such it is
fast and powerful but is also at times soft and artistic. Shito-Ryu also includes ko-budo (weapon arts) and sometimes
Iaido.
The word "shito" comes from the first kanji characters in the names of each of Kenwa Mabuni's teachers
names, Itosu and Higashionna respectively.
