Shorin-ryu Shorinkan (小林流小林館 Shōrin-ryū Shōrinkan?) is a branch of the Kobayashi Shorin-ryū style of Okinawan Karate, developed by Shugoro Nakazato, Hanshi 10th Dan. Nakazato was a student of Chosin Chibana.[1] After Chibana's death in 1969, Nakazato assumed the title of Vice President of the Okinawa Shorin-Ryū Karate-do Association. In November of 1975, Nakazato resigned from this association and formed the Okinawa Karate-do Shorin-Ryū Shorinkan Association.[2]
