全日本礼和流空手道連盟 柳心舘


The name of our organisation is:
ZEN NIPPON REIWARYU KARATE-DO RENMEI – RYUSHINKAN
​(HQ Yanagi Branch)

 
This official UK branch of Ryushinkan KarateDo is directly under our Japanese headquarters.

In the United Kingdom there are now 3 branches of our style. Tim Houghton Shihan was appointed Head of this branch in 2014 by Soke Ueno.

Tim believes that traditional KarateDo should not be watered down and puts emphasis on etiquette, kindness, respect, and hard physical training. In this modern and fast-paced world, there is a need to refine our methods of teaching in order to promote positive change and develop each student’s abilities to his or her maximum potential.
 
Karate, however, is a life-long art and the fundamental components of Karate practice should remain in place. This not only challenges the students both mentally and physically but it ensures that we strive to maintain the highest standards of our organisation.

  • 全日本 – Zen Nippon (Zen to denote mindfulness and the ‘do’ art form)
  • ​礼和流 – Reiwaryu (Referring to the style we practice. A translation could be “the school of respect and harmony” 
  • 空手道連盟 – karate-do Renmei ('Do' the art of karate, 'Renmei 'referring to the organisation. In particular,​​ that it is international)

柳心舘 – Ryushinkan. (Reflects the school name belonging to our style. We use this part on our Dogi (karate suit) because it carries significant meaning not only to the physical characteristics but also the heart and spirit that is necessary to achieve competence in the system.
 
  • 柳 – The Japanese willow tree – flexible in body and mind, adaptive, yielding and returning with explosive​  natural force.
  • 心 – A beautiful kanji highly regarded by many Japanese disciplines and indeed of importance to living by high moral standards. Literally ‘heart’ (kokoro).
  • 舘 – The home of the organisation.
 
Together a fair translation could be: The school of great heart and adaptable mind
