karate, is an eclectic martial arts system developed by Robert Trias (1923–1989), the first person to teach karate in the mainland United States, who opened the first dojo in 1946 in Phoenix, Arizona.〔Bruce A. Haines, ''Karate's History and Traditions: Revised Edition'' (Charles E. Tuttle Company, 1995), pg.154.〕 Later in 1948 he formed the first karate association in the U.S., the United States Karate Association (USKA). The USKA became one of the largest karate associations in the country; its membership included almost all of the early top karate instructors.〔Corcoran, John and Emil Farkas, ''Martial Arts: Traditions, History, People'' (Gallery Books, 1983), pg. 387.〕 The style of Shuri-ryū is taught in the United States, parts of Europe, and South America. == History == Shuri-ryū is a style that has a lineage coming from a variety of sources, including Shuri-te karate. Other influences include Naha-te karate〔Corcoran, John and Emil Farkas, ''Martial Arts: Traditions, History, People'' (Gallery Books, 1983), pg. 71.〕 and Xing Yi (Hsing-Yi) Kung Fu. Trias was first introduced to karate while in the Navy during World War II, when he was stationed in the Solomon Islands. In 1942 Robert Trias met T'ung Gee Hsing and began training with him. Hsing practiced the Chinese system of Xingyiquan and had reportedly cross-trained with Motobu Chōki in the Okinawan village of Kume Mura several years previously. Later Trias reportedly studied with Hoy Yuan Ping in Singapore in 1944. In addition to these teachers, Trias learned from other martial art teachers, such as Yajui Yamada (judo), Gogen Yamaguchi (Gōjū-ryū), Roy Oshiro (Gōjū-ryū), Yasuhiro Konishi, Makoto Gima (Shotokan, Shitō-ryū), and several others. Both Konishi and Gima served as mentors to Trias instead of in a formal teacher-student relationship. Konishi, a prominent student of Gichin Funakoshi, Choki Motobu, and Kenwa Mabuni, recognized and countersigned Trias's promotion certificate to 9th Dan by the USKA in the 1960s.〔(Isshinryu Karate: Donald Bohan's Memorial Website: John Bartusevics )〕 Gima was a prominent student of Funakoshi and he recognized Trias as 10th Dan in 1983, reaffirming Trias as style head for Shuri-ryū. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shuri-ryū」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
