Exeter, New Hampshire native Master Chris Yonker has accepted the position of District Master. A position that Chief Grand Master Robert H. Dearman created to nurture and develop Senseis and kyu ranks in the Art of Sanchin-Ryu Karate.

“Master Yonker is responsible for Sanchin-Ryu’s growth in the New England area of the United States. He is a very special inspiration to the Okinawan Sanchin-Ryu Karate Association and to any Sanchin-Ka who has moved away from areas of the country that offer Sanchin-Ryu. He has not only continued his study, but has grown more rapidly since his move many years ago! Master Yonker has also kept regular contact with other Senseis across the United States, even traveling many miles to work with them directly. Master Yonker is a shining example to us all! We all look forward to seeing his growth continue to find ways to benefit everyone around him!”
-Chief Grand Master Robert H. Dearman of Sanchin-Ryu Karate

    District Master Yonker,

    Congrats, I am excited for you. You are an inspiration for me to see that your studies have grown while there is a distance from home dojo. For now I am in a like situation. Thanks and look forward to future workouts.

    Congratulations Master Yonker for achieving District Master. This is well deserved and you have a great location in that part of the country to promote Sanchin-ryu to anyone who is willing to dedicate a significant part of their life to study with you.
