The founder of Genseiryu Karate-do, Seiken Shukumine: "When I founded the Genseiryu style, I was first thinking of how to apply speed and angles in fighting techniques, but also how to use them to get the best results. Then I thought about what would be the most appropriate and efficient way to move and how one should respond to real as well as fake attacks. Finally I looked on how to develop an optimal physical condition by using Kata and basic techniques in order to complete the Genseiryu style, which I wanted to be different from other styles by creating these characteristics"
