For many years, under the leadership of Francis Hoang, Robert Galeone, and Sonnie Lee, Capital Katori served as the home for Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu in the DC/Maryland/Virginia area. Since 2018, the founding members of Capital Katori began relocating to different states, and the last founding member permanently moved away in 2020. Based on the strength of our founding members’ dedication to the art, the Dojo remained active and continued to train during the pandemic. In 2022, Myobukai was established to succeed Capital Katori.
