Ryuei-ryu originated with Ryu Ryu Koh in China and Nakaima Norisato from Naha studied under him, returned to teach “ Ryu no Waza “ in Okinawa. After Norisato came Kenchu, Kenkoh and Kenji.
Until Kenkoh Ryuei-ryu was a style that was exclusively taught to family – all the masters were descendants of Norisato – and closed to all outsiders.
Kenkoh made the decision to open the teaching to non-family members. Tsuguo Sakumoto was the first non-family member to become master. Ryue-iru became widely known when Sakamoto became world champion.
Ryuei-ryu continues to produce world champions to this day.
( Soke Nakaima family creed )
Master Tsuguo Sakumoto – 7 times consecutive world champion is continuously producing top level athletes and next generation champions through his training.
He offers seminars to all nationalities and styles. The seminar can be scheduled to suit your need.
It is a great opportunity to work with world champion.
