Makoto Hirohara is the GM.
I believe it is a school of Karate.

Shintaiikudo is an Ashihara splinter group. That means it is a modern derivation of Kyokushinkai. The Ashihara guys are pretty tough from what I've seen, but they are not strictly a traditional ryu. Hirohara was a student of Hideyuki Ashihara, who was a direct student of Mas Oyama. That means he's probably no one to mess with and likes to break things and hit people. :D
