Shorin Ryu is the primary system taught at Daley's
Martial Arts Academy.
Shorin is the Japanese word for the Chinese word
"Shaolin" Shaolin is the name that describes the
monastery in China where many of the training
exercises and techniques were first developed.
Shaolin means "little pine forest" the monastery's
location. These techniques were practiced in China's
mountain regions where there ultimately became a
number of martial arts including Shorin Ryu. The style
is typified by quick, angular attacks and defensive
postures, rapid punching and quick crisp kicks.
The founder of Shorin Ryu karate, Chotoku Kyan, was
born at Okinawa in 1870 and died in 1945.

The Kobu-Do (Classical Weaponry) taught at Daley's Martial Arts Academy
reflects the Okinawan culture as its origin. The Okinawan weapons reflect the
tools of the farmers and fishermen which include the Kun (staff), the Kama
(sickle), Nunchaku (sifting flail), the Sai (both a fishing and farming implement),
the Tonfa (rice grinding handle), the Aku (a boat oar), the Nunti-Bo (fishing
implement to haul lines and nets).
The practice of Kobu-Do enhances one's coordination, balance, strength,
speed and reflexes through the study and practice of a number of complex
Katas (forms--series of specific movements) taught in a progressive manner
from the simplest to the most intricate.
Kobudo is taught only to Daley's Martial Arts Academy Karate-do students who
formally request and get permission to practice this ancient art.
