Shihan
Miyamoto
Shinichiro Miyamoto holds the rank of 5th Dan in Shidokan Karate-Do, certified directly by Grand Master Yoshiji Soeno, the founder of the Shidokan system and one of the most respected figures in full-contact karate history.
That certification is not symbolic. It represents decades of relentless training, real fighting experience, and a standard of technical mastery that very few practitioners ever reach.

Certified at the Source
Shihan Miyamoto's rank was earned through years of rigorous training and evaluated directly by the highest authorities in Shidokan Karate. His certification comes not from a regional affiliate or a secondary organization, but from the founder himself.
This direct lineage means every technique taught at Miyamoto Dojo, every standard upheld, and every student promoted traces back to the original source of the Shidokan system. There is no dilution. There are no shortcuts. The training is authentic because the instructor's credentials are authentic.
Leadership in the Martial Arts Community
Shihan Miyamoto's role extends beyond instruction. As a recognized leader in the international Shidokan community, he represents the art at championships, seminars, and organizational events around the world.
This presence at the highest levels of the organization ensures that Miyamoto Dojo stays connected to the evolving standards of Shidokan Karate, and that students here receive instruction that reflects the most current and complete understanding of the art.
“The goal is not to be better than someone else. The goal is to be someone who cannot be ignored.”
