The theory of KYU – SHIN – DO What is KyuShinDo ? And more precisely what it isn’t !! Kenshiro Abbe Sensei 1915 – 1985 by Henry Ellis Kyu = Desire – Yearn – Sphere – Circle – Search – Study. Shin = Heart – New – Spirit – True – To be true to ones self. Do = Way or Path , a way of life or self discipline . I honestly believe that Kyu-Shin-Do has lost its true path in Britain and has become many things to many people.
