SHORIN-RYU MATSUMURA ORTHODOX (SEITO)
KARATE ASSOCIATION

"MATSUMURA SEITO SHORIN-RYU"

SMOKA-USA

SMOKA-USA has it's roots in Okinawa Japan. The Association was formed by James H. Coffman,Fusei Kise and Grand Master Hohan Soken, in the year of 1975.

The association was formed at the request of Sensei Soken. A patch referred to as "The Soken Patch"

(see photo) was designed in the likeness of Hohan Soken to keep his memory and image within our lives forever, and to insure his rightful place within the world of Okinawan Karate. The design was made by the Okinawan members of SMOKA-USA, and the input of some Americans (James H. Coffman and others). The patch has the base colors of the United States: Red, White, & Blue.

Coffman was Grand Master Hohan Soken's first American student, starting with OSensei in 1961 and continued until leaving Okinawa in 1964. Coffman has had but two teachers in his long career of Karate. Hohan Soken and Master Fusei Kise.
