He began studying karate in 1968 with Nakaima Kenko, grandson of Ryuei Ryu founder Nakaima Norisato. A junior high school student at the time, Arashiro and his friend Matsuda Takeshi would train at Nakaima Sensei's home for two-hour sessions, twice a week. While training on school grounds, the two boys caught the attention of the teacher Sakumoto Tsuguo, who also began to train with Nakaima Sensei. With a growing contingent of students, the Ryuei Ryu style was officially made public by Nakaima Sensei in 1971. In 1979, after completing a degree in Physical Education at Chukyo University in Nagoya City, Aichi, Japan, Arashiro Sensei and his friend Kuniyoshi Tsutomu agreed to immigrate to the United States to teach Ryuei Ryu Karate and kobudo. Their fledgling group expanded from informal gatherings in a park in San Diego, to sessions at local recreation centers and VFW halls, to a formal dojo in 1984. Arashiro Sensei is currently the Pan American Chief Instructor of Ryuei Ryu. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62339721d1dacd21707ee331/66dab3c0-8434-43d8-b809-76a629ccbc71/r.jpeg Ryuei Ryu Instructors - Alfonso Gomez Sensei Founder of UCSD Program Alfonso Gomez began his martial arts training in Judo in 1969 and received his Shodan in 1974.

He passed away suddenly on September 17, 2022. Mr. Hickman started training Wado-ryu karate in Yokohama, Japan in 1975 and attained a Shodan rank in 1977. Carl started training Ryuei Ryu Karate with Shihan Tomohiro Arashiro in 1992. Carl has competed at all levels and encouraged his family to do the same. Carl and his wife taught karate at the Chula Vista Karate Club for over 20 years. He is well known for his powerful mae geri and sneaky mawashi geri. When you had to do kumite with him, you knew one of those kicks would be coming your way. He had an easy going nature, was hard working, a devoted family man, and confidence in himself that you can see in his daughters today. We miss him dearly, but his spirit lives on inside and outside of the dojo. https://www.avalonkarateandfitness.com/history daily 0.75 2022-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62339721d1dacd21707ee331/6d3e93c9-1a9a-414a-a58c-10164e9e0dcb/Kenchu+Nakaima+%281856-1953%29+%281%29.png History -
