Nakashima Dojo was started way back in 1968 by a group of Blackbelts and interested parents. The original group that started the club were Robert Nakashima (5 dan-Head Instructor), Frank Nakashima(3 dan), Gary Nakashima(2 dan), Rick Nakashima (2 dan), Bob Fedoruk (4 dan), Shoji Yamazaki (3 dan), Bob Long (President) and Leo Holthe. NAKASHIMA DOJO was named after Yasumatsu Nakashima in recognition for the many years that he promoted and supported Judo in Vancouver.
