Traditional Isshin-Ryu
Traditional Isshin-Ryu
Authentic Okinawan karate passed down from Master Tatsuo Shimabuku. Every stance, strike and kata traces back to lineage — not gimmicks. Our instructors were taught by direct descendants of the founder, so kids don't just learn moves — they inherit the real tradition.
- Real stances, strikes & blocks
- Kata with meaning, not choreography
- A lineage they can trace by name

MEET OUR TEACHING TEAM
Murray's Martial Arts is built on a family teaching tradition that began with Grandmaster Kim Murray, a 9th Degree Black Belt. Our instructors have trained within that lineage for decades and have experienced firsthand how martial arts can shape not only a student's skills, but their confidence, discipline, and character.
Our team understands that the journey is not always easy. Many of our instructors faced moments as children and teenagers when they wanted to quit. The encouragement to keep going gave them lessons that continue to shape every area of their lives—and now guide how they teach each student.
Today, our shared passion is helping the next generation experience that same transformation. At Murray's Martial Arts, we don't just teach punches, kicks, and self-defense—we help students develop confidence, resilience, respect, and perseverance so they can succeed wherever life takes them.
Every black belt we award represents much more than martial arts skill—it represents years of perseverance, confidence, discipline, and character that our students will carry with them for the rest of their lives.

"A little over a year ago my son arrived at Murray's Martial Arts in Irondequoit excited about 'trying' karate. 3 belt promotions later, that excitement has grown into a desire to keep getting better, earn every stripe/belt he can and continue to impress his Senseis. The instructors are absolutely phenomenal and really know how to get the best out of their students. Was definitely one of the best decisions my wife and I made!"
"It is 'real'. Senseis are serious but good at handling kids of all ages. They teach a traditional line of karate and are NOT fooling around!"
