Grandmaster Sid Campbell, founding president of the World Okinawan Shorin-Ryu Karate-Do & Kobudo Association, was the first American to open a Shorin-Ryu Shorinkan dojo in the United States. This auspicious authorization was granted by grandmaster Shugoro Nakazato in the early part of 1966. Henceforth began a legacy that has earned Campbell an international reputation as being one of the true pioneers to introduce the "art" of karate to the western world.
In the past 40 years Hanshi Sid Campbell, 10th degree black belt, has taught over 15,000 students and has been either directly or indirectly responsible for black belt rank awards being bestowed on over 850 martial artists who have earned these prestigious honors in the art of Shorin-Ryu (Kobayashi-ryu) karate-do. Today, Hanshi Sid Campbell supervises over 48 schools in the United States and abroad.
