  • Having been involved in the world of martial arts since the early 1980s, I can confidently say that my journey with the Kobukan Karate Federation has been profoundly rewarding and impactful. The depth of training and the quality of instruction provided by this federation have significantly elevated my practice and understanding of karate.

    Hanshi Lawrence Vellucci and Kyoshi Kasi Vellucci epitomize what it means to be true martial artists. Their passion, expertise, and unwavering commitment to their students and the art of karate inspire all who have the privilege of training under their guidance.

  • Studying with Hanshi Vellucci has changed my life in many ways, but none more than the power I have built up, performing the techniques of the White Crane. I can feel the energy every day, even on the few days I don’t train.  The private lessons are awesome! I highly recommend training with Hanshi Vellucci, because he will enable you to reach your full potential in the martial arts.

  • I investigated numerous styles and teachers and nearly always found something was missing. I had learned from many of my teachers that the pinnacle of true Karate and even Kung Fu was effortless power, speed and skill yet even some of the most experienced practitioners I encountered hadn’t achieved that level and most weren’t even really seeking it. Then I came across Hanshi Larry Vellucci’s website and was immediately drawn to Okinawan White Crane and signed up right away.

    • Reality street fighting

    • Grappling techniques, joint locks, and pressure points

    • The use of modern weapons in urban environments such as Knives, Batons, Canes, Staffs, and Improvised Weapons
