Shinseido Shorin Ryu Karate is a UK based self-preservation life skill system derived directly from Okinawan Matsumura Seito Shorin Ryu Karate and the methods taught by principal of the system Roger Sheldon on his professional management of violence courses.
Roger Sheldon who has run the Sevenoaks Kent training hall since 1976 is assisted by long time student and now senior instructor Tony Asquith who started training in 1987. Senior instructor, Mike Flanagan runs the Headingley branch in Leeds UK.
Stylistically Sevenoaks Shinseido is similar to soft internal white crane, Xing Yi, Ba Gua or 'fast Taiji'. Relaxation, looseness, manoeuvrability, speed, impulse countering, open hands and functionality are realised within a concept called tornado hands, a way of moving the hands and arms through an ongoing series of fast circular looping actions designed to intercept and counter attacks made to the practitioner.
Relatively low importance is placed upon the use of fists and kicks.
There are four kata to practitioner level: Shinzen, Tenzen, Tenshu and Channan. Thereafter the principal forms are Naihanchi, Paisai, Chinto, Seisan, Useishi, Kusanku and Hakutsuru.
