PRIMARY INSTRUCTORS:
Shojiro Sugiyama was born in Tokyo in 1929. In 1954, after having trained in two other styles of karate, he began training under Hidetaka Nishiyama and other instructors at the Japan Karate Association headquarters dojo in Tokyo. In 1963 he was invited to come to Chicago to teach karate. From 1963 through 2000 he was the Chief Instructor of the Japan Karate Association of Chicago, and Director of the JKA Great Lakes Region. Sensei Sugiyama passed away in 2015.
Charles Plaines (at the age of 14) in 1958 was sponsored to study in Japan at the Kodokan in Tokyo. There he studied Judo and Shotokan Karate daily under many noted instructors such as Kazuzo Kudo, Hidetaka Nishiyama, and Sumiyuki Kotani.
In 1961 Charles Plaines joined the US Air Force, completed Basic training and was assigned to return to the Kodokan to participate in a special instructor training program. The mornings were broken down into four parts: Judo, Shotokan Karate, Tomiki Aikido and Tai-Jutsu. During the last nine months of training Tai-Jutsu was replaced by Taiho-Jutsu. The afternoons were primarily academic: Teaching Methods, and Sports Medicine.
In 1965 Charles Plaines participated in a 100-hour special training program on Aikido and Taiho-Jutsu at Anderson Air Force Base in Guam. The Master instructor was Kisshomaru Ueshiba (Aikido). Other noted Judo instructors were there also.

He was a 9th Degree Master of Taiho-Jutsu, an 8th Degree Master of Shotokan Karate and a 6th Degree Master of Tai-Jutsu. He faithfully served his country for 13 years during the Vietnam War, held senior black belts in Judo and Aikido, and taught combative measures and Taiho-Jutsu to armed forces instructors and police departments worldwide. He was the President of the US Taiho Jutsu Federation and had been inducted into three internationally recognized Halls of Fame. He was on the Board of Directors for the US Ju-Jitsu Federation, the US Karate Do Kai, and the International Taiho-Jutsu Federation.
