Chintokan teaches Shorin-Ryu Karate-Do which originated in Okinawa, Japan. The documented history of current Shorin-Ryu karatedo tradition begins in Shuri, Okinawa, at some point in the 1800s by Sokon Matsumura (1809~1899), a leading Shuri-Te (one of three original Ryukyu Kenpo) master of his time. Beyond that, the unbroken lineage of Shorin-Ryu can be traced all the way back to the Okinawan lords, nobles and bodyguards of the Ryukyu Kingdom era in the 16th century. However, in those days, Shorin-Ryu karate was simply known as "Tea," or "Hand." Tea is Okinawa pronounciation for hand(s).

Segundo alguns historiadores o Jiu-jitsu ou "arte suave", nasceu na Índia e era praticado por monges budistas. Preocupados com a auto defesa, os monges desenvolveram uma técnica baseada nos princípios do equilíbrio, do sistema de articulação do corpo e das alavancas, evitando o uso da força e de armas. Com a expansão do budismo o jiu-jitsu percorreu o Sudeste asiático, a China e, finalmente, chegou ao Japão, onde se desenvolveu e popularizou-se. A partir do final do século XIX, alguns mestres de jiu-jitsu migraram do Japão para outros Continentes, vivendo do ensino da arte marcial e das lutas que realizavam. A história da Gracie Barra, fundada e dirigida por Carlos Gracie Jr. está diretamente relacionada com história do próprio masters. Nascido de uma família de lutadores liderada pelo seu pai Carlos Gracie, um espiritualista por natureza, que tinha por finalidade, difundir o jiu-jitsu, já que o aprendizado dessa arte lhe trouxera enormes benefícios na vida. A primeira sede da Gracie Barra foi em uma casa na Olegário Maciel 484 - começando com aproximadamente 20 alunos e após um ano 200 alunos praticavam jiu-jitsu no local. Mudaram então para a academia Espaço Vital (atual ByFit). Desde então começaram a projetar a Gracie Barra em competições esportivas e hoje formam a maior equipe de Jiu-Jitsu de mundo. A Grace Barra conta com 13 Unidades no Estado do Rio de Janeiro.
