Ren Bu Dojo was founded in 2022, continuing the proud legacy of traditional Kenko Juku Shotokan Karate-Do. Our membership is made up of dedicated students trained under the guidance of Toyotaro Miyazaki Sensei and Masakazu Takahashi Sensei — two of the most respected figures in the art.
Our roots trace back to Master Gichin Funakoshi, the father of modern karate. His son, Gigo Funakoshi, and Soke Tomosaburo Okano, established the Kenko Juku Honbu Dojo in Hachioji, Japan, in 1943.
In the following years, Miyazaki and Takahashi Sensei brought this rich tradition to the United States, planting the seeds of Kenko Juku in New York — and from there, history was made.
Today, Ren Bu Dojo proudly carries forward this legacy of discipline, respect, and excellence.We invite you to become part of this AMAZING tradition and write your own chapter in the story of Kenko Juku Karate-Do!
