Isshinryu Class Structure in Agena

 

John Bartsuvces, an early Isshihryu Karateka who used to serve a the association secretary for Master Shimabuku.

 

Here is a rough idea on the overall training that i trained in and then later would teach my Students.I learned early that just like in the Marines,same in Karate.In the Marines you have the Planners and the Op Order writers,never get their Boots dirty.Then you got the Field Marines that carry out the Mission at all cost,sometimes you get a Planner and a Doer.Very rare.In Karate you will get the Kata Man or you get the Fighter.Ideal is to have a Balanced Skilled Karate-Ka.
