Our Thoughts - Yanagawa Sensei 8th Dan Budo Karate Shinkokai Course

Yanagawa Sensei is unique in the karate world and is regarded by many within Budo circles as being the greatest Budo Karate master alive today

Yanagawa Sensei has focused his training on maximising the body’s potential. He has researched animals in the wild, the body dynamics used in many different types of sport, and traditional Noh artists; as well as continuous study of his own strength and movement.

This has resulted in Yanagawa Sensei developing a unique style of Karate which he calls “Budo Karate”.

As a regular contributor to the prestigious Japanese Martial Arts Magazine “Hi-Den” (Hi- secret), (Den – techniques passed on through the generations), Yanagawa Sensei can communicate effectively his thoughts on movement and the ways in which he generates such immense power.
