| The New York State branch of the Shito-Ryu Shukokai Karate-Do Union USA was formed by Sensei Michael S. Berkowitz 5th dan on July 31, 2002. Under the direction of the Chief Instructor for the United States Sensei Eric Tomlinson 6th dan, our goal is to help spread the Shito-Ryu Shukokai Karate organization throughout the United States, while keeping to the traditional teaching and philosophy founded by Chojiro Tani and continued by his successor Haruyoshi Yamada 9th dan and World Chief Instructor for the Shito-Ryu Shukokai Karate-Do Union. "If you leave the main stream, your river of knowledge dries up" |
