Fusaro Sensei is one of the highest ranking non - Japanese black belts in the world at 7th Dan (Degree). He began his study of Karate-do in 1955 while stationed in Japan during the Korean War. This young member of the United States' Army was invited by an American friend, Joe Gilliam, to a Karate class at the Japan Karate Association honbu ( headquarters or main ) dojo. On his first visit he met Mr. Takagi and the understanding Mr. Ito who personally sponsored Fusaro during his extended stay in Japan after being discharged. He decided to join the dojo, and the rest, as they say, is history. There he participated in the first Japan Karate Association ( J K A) tournament held in 1957. He and several other non-Japanese students demonstrated semi-free sparring. While rising through the ranks, the members of that dojo received instruction from Kanazawa Sensei, Mikami Sensei, Mori Sensei, Kisaka Sensei, and Enoeda Sensei among others of the famed J K A Instructors' School. Fusaro returned to Minneapolis in 1958 when his father became seriously ill; however, Master Masatoshi Nakayama recommended that he continue his training for six months at home and send a progress report with a film back to Japan. He received his Sho-Dan (1st degree black belt) in 1959. (less) ... (more)
