Karate is a relatively young martial art (1921) based on many ancient styles. It was introduced in Japan by O-Sensei(teacher of teachers) Gichin Funakoshi. Karate in North America has been nurtured by famous masters like O-Sensei Hidetaka Nishiyama, and by O-Sensei Masami Tsuruoka.

O-Sensei Masami Tsuruoka, who is now eighty two years old, still conducts seminars!
