We are proud that World Yoshukai Karate Kobudo Organization is the only karate association recognized and certified by Yoshukai founder Grandmaster Katsuo Yamamoto. The organization is led by Vice President Shihan Hiroaki Toyama and Vice President Shihan Mike Culbreth.
WYKKO now has more than 1,000 members in more than 30 branches throughout the United States, including Florida, Alabama, Texas, Georgia, California, Missouri, Nebraska and New Mexico.
Yoshukai Karate can trace its lineage back to the founding fathers of karate in Okinawa over three hundred years ago. The Japanese Grandmaster, Katsuoh Yamamoto, began his formal training in the Chito-Ryu style under Dr. Chitose. In 1959, he opened his own school in Kitakyushu, Japan. From 1960 to 1963, Yamamoto was considered the top competitor in Japan. In 1963 Dr. Chitose pronounced him the Grandmaster of the Yoshukai style of karate.

Team One Yoshukai Mini-Tournament
Osu! Our area Team One Yoshukai schools will be having a small tournament on September 22 to raise money for our booster club. We plan on having kata, weapons, point sparring ,and semi-knockdown competition. I believe the cost is $10 per competitor and if anyone is in the same family the cost scale goes down $2 per family member. The third or more would be $6 per person. Josh McCullars
