Sid Campbell's World Okinawan Shorin-Ryu Karate & Kobudo Association

Grandmasters Sid Campbell and Dan Tosh co-founded WOSKKA in May of 1996, with Sid Campbell serving as the association President and Dan Tosh as the Vice-President.  Since the passing of Sid Campbell in August of 2008, Hanshi Dan Tosh-10th Dan owner and operator of the Brentwood, California Shorin-Ryu Dojo has become the association President.  Hanshi Sid Rayford-9th Dan owner and operator of the Merced, California Shorin-Ryu Dojo is now the association Vice-President.  The WOSKKA Hombu Dojo (headquarters) is now the Tosh Shorin-Ryu Academy in Brentwood, California.

Hanshi Sid Campbell wanted to create an organization that would be free of any political or monetary influence.  As a pioneer of Shorin-Ryu to the West, Sid Campbell had witnessed changes in organizations that seemed to shift the focus away from the preservation of the art of Shorin-Ryu Karate.  The mission statement of WOSKKA was therefore a short and simple one...  Preserving the Past, Unifying the Present, and Strengthening the Future

As a new web site for WOSKKA, this site will be updated and growing on an ongoing basis.  Please check back from time to time to receive the latest news about WOSKKA members, dojos, and events.
