Empowering Lives Through Martial Arts
About Us
At Bushiken Karate, we are proud to be a modern day striking martial art deeply rooted in tradition. Our style is based on the teachings of Grand Master "Soshu" Shigeru Oyama, a legend amongst Kyokushin and full contact karate practitioners around the world. Bushiken Karate was formed after the passing of Soshu Oyama as an effort to preserve his teachings and his legacy. Our organization consists of loyal dedicated practitioners who directly studied under Soshu Shigeru Oyama. Our organization is currently under the leadership of Shihan Mike Skinner 8th dan.
