Timothy M. Brooks

Timothy M. Brooks

Dr. Timothy M. Brooks accompanied his Christian missionary parents to Japan as a child. During his time there, he studied the arts of karate and Kobudo under Masters Shogo Kuniba, Ryusho Sakagami and Teruo Hayashi as “monjin” or direct disciple.

After studying in Japan for many years, Dr. Brooks and his family returned to the United States in 1970 to teach Shito Ryu Karate. In 1985, Dr. Brooks received the title of Shihan, which means Master Instructor and ten years later, received his honorary doctorate from the Euro Technical Research University in Polemikology, the Art of War. He also holds an upper rank from World Union Karate Organization (W.U.K.O). Dr. Brooks served as National Vice Chairman for Hayashi Shito Ryu Kai, USA from 1988-1995 and as a National Referee for USANKF and AAU.

His success in Karate-Do and his mastery of the Japanese language and culture are, in no small part, due to Dr. Brooks good fortune in finding a wife of Samurai lineage, Lady Teruko Kurokawa, Renshi. Dr. Brooks has been studying, training and teaching Karate for nearly half a century.
