KARATE

Shorinjiryu Kenkyukai Karatedo

at Nassau County PAL

The Nassau County PAL is happy to provide our community with a Karate program of the highest quality while at a very affordable rate.  We offer Traditional Japanese Karate taught by a senior instructor well known for his technical expertise, tournament success and teaching experience.  Our program is designed to help students improve themselves mentally and physically.  We focus on developing attention skills, perseverance and character while learning a challenging physical discipline.  Students benefit academically and socially from the skills and experiences acquired from karate training.  Our classes are disciplined yet allow students to have fun while working hard toward achieving their goals.

Shihan John Grima teaches at the Nassau County PAL units in Uniondale and Westbury.  Mr. Grima is ranked Rokudan(6th degree) black belt with the title Shihan(Master Teacher) in the Kenkyukai Karate Federation and is Chief Instructor of Shorinjiryu Kenkyukai Karatedo.  Shihan Grima began his Karate training in 1981 and has been teaching for the Nassau County PAL as well as other locations in New York since 1985.  He has trained in Shorinjiryu Karate under the guidance of several distinguished Masters.  His principal mentor is Saiko Shihan Shunji Watanabe.  The teachings of Shihan Grima primarily follow the forms and techniques of Master Watanabe who is a direct student of the late Shinan Kori Hisataka(founder of Shorinjiryu Kenkokan Karatedo).  Shihan Grima began his training under the guidance of Shihan John A. Mirrione and also had the pleasure of learning from Hanshi Masayuki Hisataka(founder Kori Hisataka’s son).  In addition to Karate training, Mr. Grima has supplemented his martial arts knowledge with Judo training under Sensei Kiyoshi Shiina(8th degree) and Sensei Hank Kraft(6th degree) both certified by the Kodokan in Japan.

Shorinjiryu Kenkyukai emphasizes body movement and footwork accompanied by powerful and proven techniques as well as other unique training practices founded by Shinan Kori Hisataka.  We do not offer the flashy presentation of many modern schools.  We strive for realism and self improvement.  Our motto is: “The Spiritual Development of Individuality in Mind and Body”.  Additionally, our constant goal is “Kaizen” meaning Continuous Improvement.
