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.
