History

Origin of Shidō-kan

In October 1948, Katsuya Miyahira opened his first karate dojo in Kanehisa, Nishihara, Okinawa, [http://www.ihadojo.com/Origins/miyahira.htm Katsuya Miyahira] ] after receiving his "Shihan" (4th rank) Certificate from Choshin Chibana. [http://www.ihadojo.com/Origins/ Origins of Shidō-kan Karate] ] Miyahira chose to name his dojo Shidō-kan (志道館, "House of the Way of the Warrior"). [ [http://www.ihadojo.com/Association/shidokanorigin.htm Origin of the name Shidō-kan] ] "Shidō" was taken from the Analects by Confucius, chapter seven, verse six in book four of the twenty volume collection; which reads:

Determine in your heart to forever follow the way. Stay close to the sun of virtue and do not stray. Trust in the power of benevolence for support. Take pleasure from these abilities.

Creation of Shorin-ryū Shidō-kan

Upon Chibana's death in 1969, Chibana's most senior student, Katsuya Miyahira, received the "hanko" (official seals of the organization) and was voted president of the Okinawa Shorin-ryū Karate-dō Association. Chibana most senior students split the style of Shorin-ryū karate into various schools, Miyahira heading the Shidō-kan (志道館) style.
