About the Honorary Directors
History records sixteen century sensei Minamoto Musashi, without formal school or system rank credentials, made an unparalleled impact, both skill and philosophically, on the martial arts evolution. Also in more recent history, Gichin Funakoshi in the 1930’s imported to Japan an Okinawian method of martial arts. He changed and developed what is now one of the largest martial arts systems in the world, Shoto-Kan Karate.
