Taidō[lower-alpha 1] is a Japanese martial art created in 1965 by Seiken Shukumine (1925–2001).[1][2][3] Taidō has its roots in traditional Okinawan karate. Feeling that the martial arts, particularly karate, were not adapting to meet the needs of a changing world, Shukumine first developed a style of karate called Genseiryū around 1950.
