From the age of seventeen the karate education of Shoshin Nagamine was supervised by noted Okinawan masters Ankichi Arakaki, Chotoku Kyan, and Choki Motobu. His eventual mastery of the art and creation of the Matsubayashi form of the Shorin Ryu style would place him firmly in their ranks. This program, made with the support and cooperation of his family, is a technical record of the style he founded, the story of its beginning, and a record of the life of the founder and his achievements.
