The RyuBuKan Dojo was established in 1997 to allow me to train and teach fitness and martial arts from my home in the tradition of my most influential teachers.   The name of our Dojo comes from the history of the Okinawa arts we practice. RYU refers to the Ryukyuan culture. BU reflects the warrior mindset and a lifetime of training. KAN is a place or home for our practice.   RyuBuKan was the name of the first Shorin Ryu school I trained in where my teacher, Nobuichi (Roy) Oyakawa, taught Karate and Kobudo. RyuBuKan was also used by Kenneth L. Penland, from whom I studied Matsumura Seito Shorin Ryu and Kobudo. When I decided to open my dojo I was granted permission by both of these teachers to use their dojo name.​ In 2003 I began my full-time career in Health and Wellness, and the dojo became a home for all types of training needs.  Over the years friends, students, and clients have contributed significantly to improving this humble studio.  I conduct weekly sessions, both small group and private, online and in-person, in this very special environment. I invite you to contact me to schedule an assessment of your training goals and to share time in my home dojo.
