At Samurai Karate Bangkok, we do not just teach martial arts; we preserve an elite, unbroken lineage of orthodox Shukokai Karate.

In 1985, our founder, Dai Shihan, collaborated directly with Shukokai creator Chojiro Tani Sensei to establish a revolutionary Uchi Deshi (live-in disciple) program tailored for international practitioners. This grueling, prestigious program requires three years of continuous, daily teaching and intensive training. Upon completion, participants travel to Japan to be examined by the highest authorities of the system to earn their 2nd Dan and the coveted title of Jun Shidoin (Junior Instructor).

Today, that tradition lives on right here in Bangkok. Your instructors—Sensei Lin, Sensei Noi, and Sensei Wanit—are current participants in this rigorous international instructors program. Under the direct guidance and mentorship of Dai Shihan, they are actively living the ultimate path of martial discipline.

When you train at Samurai Karate Bangkok, you are being led by instructors who are pushed to their absolute limits every single day, ensuring you receive the highest standard of technical mechanics, explosive power, and true Budo spirit on your own journey to black belt and beyond.
