Sui Shin Ryu is a style of full contact karate, founded in 1997 by Japanese Judo and Karate master, Noriyasu Kudo. Sui Shin Ryu is rooted upon traditional Japanese Martial Arts values including dedicated training and mutual respect. The techniques found in Sui Shin Ryu Karate are practical, effective, and designed for everyone of all ability levels. Sui Shin Ryu emphasizes realistic combat, physical toughness, and practicality in its training curriculum.
 
Sui Shin Ryu Karate emphasizes dedicated, hard training, allowing one to develop in both body and spirit. Students are continuously pushed to their limits but done so in an open, family-oriented environment.

Kancho Kudo emphasizes the importance of basic techniques and stances and these are practiced by all students during every class. Classes also include bag work and Sabaki, which is the core emphasis in "Sui Shin Ryu Karate". Sabaki is a system of techniques employed with the goal of turning an opponent's power and momentum against him or her and repositioning oneself to the opponent's "blind spot" to counterattack from a more advantageous position, this strategy of moving outside and to an opponent's "blind spot" is essential. Although Sui Shin Ryu is a  fighting style that includes kicks, strikes, and punches found in other styles of karate, it also utilizes numerous throws, grabs, chokes, and joint locks often associated with Judo, Jujutsu and many other styles of martial arts. Students are able to practice this alone or with a partner more senior student's participate in full-contact sparring where strikes are not pulled and thrown with full force, has a number of tactical differences from light and medium contact sparring. It is considered by some to be requisite in learning realistic unarmed combat.

The Kudo Kai was started by Kancho Noriyasu Kudo to bring together Martial Artists who have dedicated their life to the perfection of their individual styles. It is our mission to provide a friendly atmosphere to share ideas and to train hard.

Kancho Noriyasu Kudo is the Chief Instructor  of Sui Shin Ryu.
Classes are also taught by Shihan Rick Flebotte, Shihan Chris Broughton and Sensei Eric Flebotte.
