This is a collection of sites that I like concerning my favourite sport & lifestyle, Shito Ryu Karate.

Каратэдо Сито-Рю в Санкт-Петербурге. Каратэдо Сито-Рю в Санкт-Петербурге. Shitō-ryū. Shitō-ryū (糸東流?) Is a form of karate that was founded in 1931 by Kenwa Mabuni (摩文仁 賢和, Mabuni Kenwa?). History[edit] One of his close friends, Chōjun Miyagi (宮城 長順, Miyagi Chōjun?) (co-founder of Gojū-ryū Karate) introduced Mabuni to another great of that period, Kanryō Higaonna (東恩納 寛量, Higaonna Kanryō?). Mabuni began to learn Naha-te (那覇手?) Under him. Although he remained true to the teachings of these two great masters, Mabuni sought instruction from a number of other teachers, including Seishō Arakaki, Tawada Shimboku, Sueyoshi Jino and Wu Xianhui (a Chinese master known as Go-Kenki).

In an effort to popularize karate in mainland Japan, Mabuni made several trips to Tokyo in 1917 and 1928. By 1929, Mabuni had moved to Osaka on the mainland, to become a full-time karate instructor of a style he originally called Hanko-ryū, or "half-hard style". Mabuni published a number of books on the subject and continued to systematize the instruction method.
