KARATE DO en Genbu Kai
Genbu-kai refers to a group of professionals who are dedicated to achieving the original goals of the traditional Budo.
This is a modern interpretation of traditional Japanese "Shu, Ha, Ri" (protect, breakthrough, departure). It is
the goal of Shito-ryu Karate-Do Genbu-Kai, and the root of Sensei Demura's teachings.
Genbu-Kai training begins with "kihon" (basics) techniques. The training must adhere to learning correct kihon
techniques, which is the foundation of Genbu-Kai Karate-Do training ("Shu"). The next step is to practice combinations
of the kihon techniques through "kata" (form). Students then learn how to apply the kihon techniques through different
levels of "kumite" (sparring) training. The sparring training system includes "ippon kumite" (predetermined
one technique sparing), "sanbon kumite" (predetermined three techniques sparring) ("Ha"), "jyuu ippon
kumite" (free style one step sparring ) through to "jyuu kumite" (free sparring) ("Ri"). Through
this learning system, Genbu-Kai students can achieve mastery of Shito-Ryu Karate-Do.
Genbu-Kai's goal is the vision of Master Kenwa Mabuni's "Kunnshi-no-Ken," which is dedication to teachings students
personal growth achieve harmony in their lives. This is the way of Shito-Ryu Karate-Do Genbu-Kai, and it is the most fundamental
part of Sensei Fumio Demura's purpose and meaning in life.

KOBUDO en Genbu-Kai
Shinken Taira
(1897 - 1970)
Shinken Taira, a master of Okinawan weaponry, was born on the small island of Kukijima by Okinawa. His family name was
"Maezato" but later in life he changed to his mother's name "Taira". He studied under Master Moden Yabuki,
the founder of "Ryukyu Kobujutsu Kenkyu-Kai which is the now Kobujutsu Research Association. Master Yabuki was the first
to open a dojo for this study.
Taira also studied with many more masters to acquire weapons knowledge and kata forms including Gichin Funakoshi and Kenwa
Mabuni.
In the 1930's, after many years of study, he went to Japan to open his own dojo in "Ikaho, Gunma Prefecture".
In 1940, Taira returned to Naha, Okinawa to open a dojo.
The dojo name was "Ryukyu Kobujutsu Hozon Shinkokai". Here he worked to promote the ancient Okinawan martial
arts as passed down to him by the many great masters who he had studied under.
In 1960's Taira went to Yokohama and stayed in Sakagami's dojo (Genbu-Kan) where Sensei Demura studied kobudo with him.
Taira later went back to Okinawa where Sensei Demura visited him in 1962. Sensei Demura has since been a key person in bringing
the study of Okinawan weaponry to North America and it continues to be taught today in Genbukai dojos around the world.
