INTRODUCING SŌ-BUDŌ KUMITE™

October 12, 2026|by Jin Sei Ryu

Budō Innovation. Rooted in Tradition.

Jin Sei Ryū Karate-Dō International is very pleased to announce the development of Sō-Budō Kumite™, a new framework for martial arts sparring, designed for both dojo training and competition.

Developed over several years within Jin Sei Ryū Karate-Dō, this initiative builds upon established martial arts traditions to provide a structured and progressive approach to sparring that encourages technical development, adaptability and the practical application of martial arts skills.

While originating within Jin Sei Ryū, Sō-Budō Kumite is intended for practitioners from different martial arts styles and organisations, offering opportunities to broaden their experience, challenge themselves and develop their skills in a spirit of mutual respect.

We are delighted to have the commitment and support of four respected international martial arts leaders in developing and promoting this initiative:

Kaicho Grant Campbell — United States

Soke Solly Said — South Africa

Kyoshi Damian Asling — United Kingdom

Senpai Altaf Ratamulla — France

Together, we look forward to further developing Sō-Budō Kumite and introducing this framework to the wider international Budō community.

More details coming soon.

If you would like to learn more about Sō-Budō Kumite or express your interest in this initiative, please send me a direct message.
