History

Established in 2005.

Our Dojo, The Shugyokan Dojo is literally translated as «House of Austerity «. The term «Shugyo» can be defined as training with such intense attitude that cultivates mastery and a perservering mind-​set.

We follow the principles and philosophy as set forth by the Founder of Matsubayashi Ryu, Shoshin Nagamine Sensei. He fervently believes that the dojo is the place where courage is fostered and superior human nature is bred through the ecstacy of sweating in hard work. It is the sacred place where the human spirit is polished.

Manager

Shugyokan Shorin Ryu Dojo head instructor Prince Loeffler, began his path in the martial arts in 1985 when he took up training in Aikido under Mitsu «Mitz» Yamashita during his college years. Later, he continued his training in Karate and Taekwondo and achieved the blackbelt ranks.

As the years progress, it is sensei’s desire to continue promoting Okinawan bugei and Matsubayashi Ryu karate of Shoshin Nagamine Sensei to the general public, while maintaining its purity and integrity for the future generations to come. As he fervently has mentioned before, «To me the practice of Matsubayashi Ryu Karate– Do & Budo is the blue print of how we should live life to its maximum potential»
