A Legacy of Martial Arts Excellence

Our journey began with Sensei Oscar Silvera, a lifelong devotee to the art of karate. With over 4 decades of experience, Sensei Silvera's passion for martial arts shines through his instruction, guiding students on a path of both physical and mental development. His mastery of traditional Shotokan Karate, combined with his expertise in diverse disciplines such as Iaido, Aikido, Taekwondo, Judo, Kudo, Kobudo, Krav Maga, Tai Chi, Kickboxing, and Kung Fu, provide a unique and well-rounded approach to martial arts training.

Following the teachings of his esteemed mentor, Sensei Katsumi Niikura, Sensei Silvera founded the International Budo Ryokukai in Michigan, continuing a legacy of martial excellence. He serves as the Dojo's Hombu Cho (Headquarters Director) and Chief Instructor, sharing his vast knowledge and unwavering dedication with every student.
