Okinawa-kenpo is a karate style which has been developed based on ancient Okinawan martial arts called "Ti". Its technique and thought were studied and refined by a Tomari-te master, Shinkichi Kuniyoshi (also known as "BUSHI" Kuniyoshi) and passed down to Grand Master Shigeru Nakamura, the founder of Okinawa-kenpo. Grand Master Nakamura opened his own dojo "Okinawa-kenpo Karate-do Shurenjo" at Onaka, Nago city and taught his art of karate.

"Okinawa-kenpo" was founded by Grand Master Shigeru Nakamura in 1960 as an association of diverse dojos based on his belief "there is no Ryuha in Okinawa karate".
Participation to a competition in Kyushu as "The All Japan karate-do Federation, Okinawa District" was how it all started. Nakamura felt how strong Japanese karate organization was at the competition and worried about the future of Okinawa karate.
Then, he appealed to all karate-ka in Okinawa for participating to the movement of "Okinawa-kenpo".

In June 17, 1961, karate masters from all over Okinawa gathered at Yashio-so, Naha city. At this meeting, they had a discussion about the unification of Okinawa karate and finally came to endorse it (Establishing of Okinawa Kobudo Kyokai).
After Nakamura's passing, the group fell apart. However, Okinawa karate advanced to an era of great development.
Each karate style goes on its own way, and Okinawa-kenpo has become the name of the style which was taught and practiced by the students of Grand Master Nakamura.
Various Ryuha participated in the movement of "Okinawa-kenpo".
Mostly, they were from "The All Japan karate-do Federation, Okinawa District" and "Okinawa Kobudo Kyokai". Exchange of techniques was widely performed among them.
After the death of Nakamura, Okinawa-kenpo was divided into several groups.
Each group inherited Nakamura's will and techniques and developed Okinawa-kenpo in their own way.
