Karate.Life was born in 2018 by MItchell Barber and Rohit Bangalolelu out of a need to dive deeper into the history, technique and spirit of the art that made them who they are.
Hayashi-ha Shitoryu is a traditional form of karate with its origins tracing back to the island of Okinawa, the cradle of modern karate. Shitoryu is one of the four major styles disseminated internationally. Soke Teruo Hayashi led our particular school until his death in 2004 aged 84. His work now continues under the leadership and guidance of a Board of Directors comprising his senior students.
