Shimpa is a karate form that originates from the Okinawan Martial Arts tradition, specifically influenced by Shuri-te and Naha-te styles. It was developed to emphasize fluid, circular movements and the integration of both offensive and defensive techniques. The name "Shimpa" translates to "new wave," reflecting its innovative approach to traditional karate practices. This form is often practiced for its practical applications in self-defense and its emphasis on body mechanics and movement efficiency.
