Advincula while under study with Tatsuo Shibakuku Soke in Okinawa in 1961.  The shape of the fist was originally made to the outline of Advincula Sensei's hand. On the right we find the modern update of the Megami Patch designed to honor Tatsuo Shimabuku's passing, also made by Sensei Advincula.  Below we find the common patch used in Isshinryu today and that of the IWKA.</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> <td valign="top" height=390 BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#080000"> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="535" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 20 ><NOBR><div>  <A NAME="the_isshinryu_patch"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" width="1" height="1" ></A><B>The Original Isshinryu Patch  </B></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="258"><div> <B>Present Isshinkai Patch</B></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 433 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="863fd680.jpg" border=0 ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="20" width="253" height="360"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="864056b0.jpg" border=0 ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="10" width="261" height="363"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 20 WIDTH="258"><div>  <A NAME="most_popular_patch__most_dojos_"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" width="1" height="1" ></A><B>Most Popular Patch</B></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="258"><div> <B>The IWKA Patch</B></div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 412 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="865f3950.jpg" border=0 ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="20" VSPACE="0" width="243" height="405"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="291c3570.png" border=0 width="195" height="343" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="48" VSPACE="20"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>                </B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>          </B><B>                                        </B></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
