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!” Discuss below! Share your thoughts with fellow students:

"Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain."

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.
