About

Kamakiri Dojo in Chula Vista's Eastlake corridor teaches traditional Shito Ryu karate and Olympic-format kumite from its studio at 825 Kuhn Drive in the Rolling Hills Ranch business park. The curriculum separates kata precision — the choreographed forms central to World Karate Federation scoring — from live sparring drills, building a competitive pipeline that feeds into the broader Chula Vista gym circuit anchored by Chuze Fitness down the road. Shito Ryu's four-pillar structure draws techniques from both Shuri-te and Naha-te lineages, producing a wider catalogue of kata than most single-lineage karate styles. That dual lineage trains practitioners in both hard linear strikes and soft circular blocks, developing the joint mobility and rotational control that align with the movement-restoration protocols at PT in Motion. Competition-track students train Shito Ryu's Bassai Dai and Seienchin kata sequences alongside WKF-regulation point-sparring under three-referee Shushin judging criteria.
