We are a non-profit organization of traditional martial arts that focuses primarily on Isshinryu Karate and Te Jutsu; Te Jutsu being the self-defense applications of Okinawan karate and Aikido combined, as developed by Northwest Isshinryu.
Members of Northwest Isshinryu had been longtime members of the Washington Isshinryu Society, founded and led by Sensei George Shin. When Covid hit in 2020 and Sensei Shin was experiencing unrelated health issues, it was decided by him and his students that the organization be dissolved. The legacy continues in three different schools in Washington state; Northwest Isshinryu is one of these schools.
Hello,
Curious:
Any ISSHINRYU instructors in the Seattle area?
Private or classroom.
Thanks,
Matt
Hello Matt. There’s an Isshinryu instructor somewhere up that way (Seattle area). The gal’s name is Annie, and I’ve forgotten her last name but will find it and get back to you with it. There is also a man named Jeremy Johnson in Woodinville. I can see if he’s still teaching and get you his # if so. My school is in Summit South Hill, just south of central Puyallup. You’re welcome to swing by sometime if you’d like. Are you an Isshinryu practitioner?
Regards,
Dale
