Shingo-ha yoshukai

Shingo-ha Yoshukai Karate-do and Shingo Ryu Bujutsu Kai were founded by Dr. Mike Sadler.
History
Origins
Shingo-ha Yoshukai originated from Yoshukai Karate. Yoshukai Karate was founded by Katsuoh Yamamoto in 1963 after he separated from Dr. Chitose Tsuyoshi, the founder of Chito-ryu. Yamamoto adopted many top students into his ranks to include Dr. Mike Sadler, Mike Foster, Ray Nichols, and Yuki Koda. Over the course of time, these individuals (save for Yuki Koda) left Yamamoto to form their own organizations for various reasons. Dr. Mike Sadler, with all the proper blessing formed Shingo-Ryu. Shingo-Ryu was the umbrella organization for its Karate and Bujutsu (so called Bujutsu for its mix of Jujutsu and Sword). In recent years the name was changed to Shingo-ha Yoshukai to assist other organizations in their transitions to the newer style.
