JAPAN KARATE-DO RYOBU-KAI BAHAMAS is a professional, international organization under the leadership of Yasuhiro (Takehiro) Konishi, 10th Dan. JKR has branches located all over the world under the guidance of Kiyoshi Yamazaki, 8th Dan, International Director and Chief Overseas Instructor.
The style of Karate taught by JKR is called Shindo Jinen Ryu. Training in JKR is conducted in a traditional Japanese method: etiquette, consistent attendance, discipline and hard work, combined with a friendly and enjoyable atmosphere in the Dojo. Karate training in JKR is life-long, and can be continued regardless of age.
Modern training in JKR incorporates elements of Karate, Aikido, Ju-Jitsu, and Kendo in the formal curriculum, with an emphasis on philosophy and education. The curriculum also emphasizes Zanshin (the ability of an exponent to gain dominance over an opponent through an alert state of mind) and maintenance of proper physical posture.
The purpose of training in Shindo Jinen Ryu Karate-Do is to develop the whole human being, physically and mentally. Through long-term dedicated training the student learns to develop and unite Shin (mind), Gi (technique) and Tai (body) in proper proportions. The end result is awareness of one's moral obligations and place in society
