Page "World Genseiryū Karatedō Federation" Paragraph 1

Instructors from several countries, including Denmark, Holland, Spain, Finland and Japan, met in Oviedo, Spain in November, 2003, for purposes of establishing the World Genseiryū Karatedō Federation.

At the end of the meeting, on November 14, the parties signed an agreement promising, among other things, to follow Seiken Shukumine's book Shin Karatedō Kyōhan ( published 1964 ), which the WGKF considers the original Genseiryū, as a training guideline.

Ten-i, Chi-i and Jin-i are considered by the WGKF to be among the basic and most essential kata of the organization's curriculum.

Some instructors from within the WGKF have chosen to also practice and teach other kata such as Heian ( basic kata from Shotokan ), kata that are not included in the official curriculum.

None of these instructors have rejected any of the kata mentioned in the book Shin Karatedō Kyōhan.
