Welcome to the Ukinju-Ryu Budo Dragonblood Society

The Ukinju-Ryu Budo Dragonblood Society was established on September 7, 

2024 Friday night Taikai Potluck Dinner hosted by Nathan Lake Sensei and the Martial Arts of Medford Dojo. The Society was created to preserve the Okinawan heritage of the Shobayashi Shorin-Ryu traditions of Shimabukuro, Eizo- Hanshi, and the perpetuation of the SanDoKai/Ukinjukan lineage of Thomas M. White, Soke.
