Hu Shin Kai is a “dojo”, a training place, for traditional Shotokan Karate.

Master Gichin Funakoshi

To understand the traditional Shotokan Karate, it is important to understand its roots. Shotokan Karate is one of the four major styles of traditional Karate founded by the master Gichin Funakoshi (November 10, 1868 ~ April 26, 1957). It is arguably the most known and practiced style of karate. Master Funakoshi dedicated his entire life to the practice of karate, and his pupil respectfully began calling his karate “Shotokan” Karate. “Shoto” was his artist name, and “kan” translates to “home” in Japanese.
