History

Kitsap Karate is a member of the Japan American Butokukan Karate Association. Our history dates back to Japan in 1948 when our late grand master, Yoichi Nakachi, began karate. In 1959 Nakachi moved to Seattle, WA. In 1961, Nakachi began teaching at Olympic College in Bremerton.
When, In 1965, Master Nakachi returned to Japan, he promoted Sensei Robert Hill as Master. Master Hill has led Butokukan Karate ever since.
