Yuishinkai is the egroup for Martial Artists interested in or practising Yuishinkai Karate and Ryukyu Kobujutsu. These arts are preserved and transmitted by the Ryukyu Kobujutsu Hozon Shin Ko Kai and are traditional Okinawan Karate styles. Yuishinkai was created by Motokatsu Inoue in the early 20th Century. Ryukyu Kobujutsu consists of weapons techniques. Discussions on the egroup focus on Techniques, Kata analysis and applications and general Karate subjects. This eGroup is not an official forum, it is a service set up by a dedicated Yuishinkai practitioner.
