Do a Google search of the area, or try the phone book. That should get you pointed in the right direction. |
What about the schools of the MA that don't utilize either the net and/or the phone book? Many great schools are overlooked because they don't use either to attract students.

Then its time to use the old shoe-leather express! _________________ www.haysgym.com

If I understand correctly the different styles of Shorin Ryu are based on lineage? The style I took before was Matsumura, headed by Grandmaster Kise.
After reading more on history and googling different names I ran across one school in Houston pretty close to me(30 minutes) and was wondering if anyone knew any more information about it.
The website is www.kenshinkai.com Kazumasa Yokoyama was a student of Grandmaster Shugoro Nakazato, digging further into that side Grandmaster Shugoro Nakazato was a student of Chosin Chibana who was a student of Anko Itosu and we're back up to Matsumura again.
Back to the original questions I was going to ask, it looks like Kazumasa Yokoyama isn't attached to any of the Shorin Ryu governing bodies at this time??
I can't seem to find any information on how long Kazumasa Yokoyama was a student, what rank he is, or if he's attached to any organization.
These questions might be better in a different section of the forum, but for this thread, would this be pretty close to the style I was learning before? |
I just read your question. I have been training with Mr. Yokoyama for about 2 years now. He is pretty legit. I would suggest to go to the dojo and check out the workout. I was looking for a Shito Ryu dojo around the Houston area and did not find one close to me. But, I found this dojo, and I am very content with it.!!!! |
