Welcome to the Northwest Budokan.
The NorthWest Budokan is a member of the ISMSKF with the hombu in Okinawa City, Okinawa and is headed by Master Fusei Kise.
The NorthWest Budokan was founded by 8th Degree Black Belt, Hanshi Jay Gravelle and is based in Everett, WA. Classes are taught at locations in the Mukilteo and Mill Creek area north of Seattle, WA. Okinawa Shorin-ryu Matsumura Seito is a very traditional style of karate and is taught with a “Real World” attitude for today’s world rather then tournament style. No long stances or high kicks! We teach a range of traditional aspects; empty hand karate, kata (forms), tuite (self-defense/joint locks), bag work, one steps, kick drills, change body and kobudo (weapons).
