Kyudokan

In 1947 Higa Yuchoku inaugurated the Kyudokan Karate dojo and applied himself to perfecting and developing everything that he had learned from his masters, and especially from Chōshin Chibana, with whom he continued to practice.

In 1961 the first Shorinryu Karate-do Association of Okinawa was formed. It was presided over by Chibana and Higa Yuchoku was assigned the role of vice-president.

By 2015, the Kyudokan School had branches in 29 countries and had more than 10,000 students around the world. Branches of the school were established in South America by Benito Higa and in the world by Oscar Higa. Now Hanshi 10th Dan Oscar Masato Higa heads the World Shorin Ryu KYUDOKAN HIGA-TE Karate-Do Federation and Representative for the world.

Minoru Higa (10th Dan) is the current President (Kaichou) and Soke of Okinawa Shorin Ryu Kyudokan Karate-Do Association principally based in Okinawa.
