A fraternity of the students of Master Toby Cooling
Welcome to the official website for the Order of Isshin-Ryu, a fraternal organization founded by Walter "Toby" Cooling in 1971.

Thanks for visiting!

The Winter Shiai has been CANCELLED!
The Order of Isshin-Ryu, founded by Master Toby Cooling, has the following goals:
  • To perpetuate the teachings of Master Toby Cooling and those of his teachers
  • To provide and maintain standards for the attainment of black belt status
  • To foster a sense of family and community among members
  • To organize shiai and special classes to provide opportunities for members to learn and grow within the martial arts
  • To keep the costs of participation as low as possible for members

The Order of Isshin-Ryu (OI) is interested in quality, not quantity. A person's character and integrity are paramount to being accepted as a member.

Others who wish to join our fraternity should seek out a certified sensei in the Order of Isshin-Ryu and petition to join. The candidate should submit a martial arts resumé and a copy of their most recent promotion certificate. The candidate will study with the sensei and have their kata reviewed to meet OI requirements. Once the above criteria have been met, the sponsoring sensei may then recommend the candidate to the Board for membership.
