Guest Instructors Steve Ubl 9th Dan and Scott Langley 7th Dan

HDKI USA Summer Camp 2024 - July 19th to July 21st - San Diego

Steve Ubl 9th Dan

Sensei Steve Ubl began training in the 1967 in the art of Tang Soo Do.
In 1969 he began training in the JKA style of karate. He moved to Japan in 1972 and was recognized by Nakayama sensei of the JKA for his character and talent. Taken under Nakayama sensei’s wing, Steve sensei experienced many hours of private tuition from the JKA Chief Instructors and made copious notes from these periods of intense learning. He received his 1st dan directly from Nakayama sensei while residing at the Hoitsugan. He also received instruction from Nakayama sensei in 1974 and returned to Japan several more times between 1976 and 1977. Returning to the USA, Steve sensei entered the Japan Karate Association Instructor Training programme under Nishiyama sensei at the JKA-US Headquarters in 1973, where, as a full-time trainee, he became an instructor with the AAKF-ITKF. By the late ‘70’s Steve sensei’s ideas began to transcend regular training in any dojo and his development continued more from his own intelligent application of ideas, influenced from the time he spent in Japan. Throughout the ‘80’s and ‘90’s Steve sensei, an intensely private individual, trained mostly alone and free from restriction. In 2004 he was persuaded by a dedicated group of North American karate-ka to share his deep knowledge. For well over a decade he travelled the world teaching at international seminars. Although he no longer travels, the HDKI are happy to have Steve Sensei as the guest instructor at this year’s summer camp.
