The Titusville Yoshukai Karate School started in the late 60’s, early 70’s and is still going strong today. Throughout the many years we have had great instructors. The list of names is long: William Moore, Ray Zaragoza Sr., Hiroshige Taguchi, Patty Rushing, Mr. Neale Cranston, Larry Roberson, Greg Avery, Sammy Carpenter, Richard Cromwell, Lee Farrell and Ricky Copeland.
Sensei Mike Foster relocated to Port St. John, Florida in early 1993, our Titusville Karate class became known as Hombu from June 1993 until June 28, 2008. Sensei Foster used our school for his first of the month trainings.
Our classes split from Mike Foster’s Yoshukai International Karate Association on June 28th 2008; our system is still Yoshukai, our name has changed to Yoshukai Karate International.
