松濤館流 is a traditional Japanese martial art that focuses on the practice of 空手 (karate). Founded in the early 20th century by 松濤館流創始者 (founder Shōtō Kanō), it emphasizes both physical techniques and mental discipline. The style incorporates various stances, strikes, and kata, which are pre-arranged forms that help practitioners develop their skills. The training in 松濤館流 is designed to promote self-defense, fitness, and personal growth. Practitioners learn to cultivate respect, perseverance, and focus through rigorous practice. The art is practiced worldwide, contributing to the global appreciation of 武道 (martial arts) and Japanese culture.
