World Oshu Kai Okinawa Shorin-Ryu Karate Do Kobudo Federation (W.O.F.) was created on 21st of July 1993 by the okinawan master KENYU CHINEN. Until W.O.F. master Kenyu Chinen was a international representative of okinawan organizations: Okinawa Shorin-Ryu Karatedo Association, leaded by master Katsuya Miyahira - 10 dan and Okinawa Kobudo Federation, leaded by master Shinpou Matayoshi - 10 dan. Joining two traditional and famous schools from Okinawa: Okinawa Shorin-Ryu Karate and Okinawa Kobudo to the one organization turn to be very good decision. Today W.O.F. has its representatives in many countries on five continents. The seat of World Oshu Kai Federation is the Central Dojo in Yomitan in Okinawa; for more information:
