If your interested in Shorin-Ryu Karate, with it's punches, kicks, blocks, katas, and weapons, then you came to the right place. Sensei James H. Coffman, a 7th degree black belt has the knowledge to instruct and teach the finer points of this martial art. With nearly 50 years of experience and knowledge there are few in the art that knows more. He was taught when personal safety wasn't a concern, when the fights were real and often bare knuckled with no hand or feet protection. He learned the way the Okinawans did because the class had little or no other Americans in them, just the Okinawan students and their teachers. When Sensei Fusei Kise took a class from Sensei Hohan Soken back in the late 1950's early 1960's neither man envisioned what the future would hold for them or their Martial Art.. Out of this early 1960's development came a student who still forges ahead everyday to carry on the training of these two men. One still alive (Fusei Kise) the other passing decades ago.

       Sensei Coffman, has for all the years he's been involved tried to covey the style he was taught in the same manner. Perfecting what he was taught and then passing it onto his own students. This art has under gone many changes some GOOD some BAD, it has produced many many students again some Good some Bad. Through it all Sensei Coffman, has tried his best to bring the art he was taught those many years ago.
