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

Joining two traditional and famous schools from Okinawa: Okinawa Shorin-Ryu Karate and Okinawa

in many countries on five continents. The seat of World Oshu Kai Federation is the Central Dojo in
