Shorinjiryu Karate was introduced to North America and the world at the 1967 World Exposition, Expo '67 held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Representatives of the Shorinjiryu Kenkokan Karate dojo in Tokyo, Japan were selected by the Japanese government to perform Martial Arts demonstrations at the Japanese pavilion.
This would be the first time Karate was presented on the World stage, and the Shorinjiryu Karate style was selected to be the ambassador.
After Expo '67, some of the Japanese instructors settled in Montreal and in cities along the Eastern US seaboard and began teaching North Americans Shorinjiryu Karate.
