Shito-Ryu is one of the four major Japanese styles of karate in the world. It originated on the Island of Okinawa. In ancient times, the art of Karate could not be practiced openly, so those who chose to practice the art did so secretly, hidden from public view. Lacking formal names, people sometimes referred to the various schools of Karate by putting the names of Grand Masters and the Katas (forms) together thus creating a label for the particular school.
