Sam Ishigo

Sifu Chris has been under the personal guidance and teaching of Ishigo Sensei since 1986 learning Ninjutsu, Seifikujutsu, Baguazhang and meditation. He is the foundation of all the knowledge that Dragon Gate Sanctuary is built on. Sifu Chris and Sifu Ray have had the privilege to study with other teachers of this system, but Ishigo Sensei obviously put in the most time, hard work and refinement. He understands the system and the world very well. We hope to make him proud.
