About SSU
Following the death of the founder of 'Shukokai' Karate, Chojiro Tani 10th Dan Soke, his most senior student Haruyoshi Yamada 9th Dan Hanshi was voted the new president of 'Shukokai' and formed the Shito-ryu School of Karate Do. In the UK many senior instructors already studying Shito-ryu Shukokai system with other English associations felt that in order to expland their knowledge they should affiliate to the main Shukokai body in Japan, under Sensei Yamada 9th Dan.
"If you leave the main stream your river of knowledge dries up." (Anon)
With this in mind, the Shito-Ryu Shukokai Karate Do of Great Britain was formed, with Sensei Denis Casey 7th Dan being Sensei Yamada's representative for Great Britain.
