This channel was created in order to share the development of Okinawan Karate-Do in my life. Yamamatsu Dojo is the name that was passed on to me from Mejin Ken Ruiz. The root system of my study is Matsubayashi Ryu, founded by Shoshin Nagamine, but I now practice the Kishaba Juku method as developed by Katsuhiko Shinzato. I am also a studying Yamani Ryu under Noriaki Ikehara Sensei.
