American Shotokan Karate | Binghamton, NY
Shotokan karate is a system of Okinawan Karate founded in 1936 by Gichin Funakoshi and Yoshitaka Funakoshi in Japan. Shotokan is one of the five traditional karate styles. Rick Henderson brings the Americanized version of Shotkan to Binghamton—founded by Master Hamilton in the 1960's, who after returning to Harlem, NYC from Military service; where he trained in Shotokan in Japan, realized that traditional Shotokan was not modernized enough to transfer into the challenges of NYC streets.
