SHORINJIRYU GENBUKAN KARATE SHI RYU KAI dojo Kingston Ontario Canada     Shorinjiryu Karate was introduced to North America and the world at the 1967 World Exposition, Expo '67 held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Representatives of the Shorinjiryu Kenkokan Karate dojo in Tokyo, Japan were selected by the Japanese government to perform Martial Arts demonstrations at the Japanese pavilion.   This would be the first time Karate was presented on the World stage, and the Shorinjiryu Karate style was selected to be the ambassador. After Expo '67, some of the Japanese instructors settled in cities along the Eastern US seaboard and in Montreal and began teaching North Americans Shorinjiryu Karate.   Nov 11th Remembrance Day   This ribbon on our webpage shows our support for our Canadian troops serving in Afghanistan and in other missions around the world.
