Sensei Kai Leung, a world-recognized Shotokan Karate Instructor, immigrated to the United States in the early 1960s. A seasoned Goju-Ryu Karate competitor and instructor, Leung's life changed when he met the late Toyotaro Miyazaki, who brought traditional Shotokan Karate to New York.

Leung quit his New York City schoolteacher job and closed his Shotokan Karate dojo in Whitestone, Queens, to work alongside Sensei Miyazaki at the Shotojuku Dojo in Astoria, Queens. Sensei Miyazaki's impact on Sensei Leung's life was profound, forging a relationship that became the catalyst for his expertise in the history of not only his martial art but all other martial arts that originated from the Asian continent.

Sensei Leung talks to us about the "true meaning" of martial arts in a literal, figurative, and spiritual way, delving into the connections across different styles from various parts of the world. He has trained countless fighting champions, Hollywood actors, and award-winning musicians, but he maintains a humble decorum even with his success as a coach and competitor. Sensei Kai Leung is a "True Martial Artist" who continues to teach his craft every day while keeping the legacy of Master Miyazaki alive and strong.
