Born on 1st October 1966 in Kyushu, an island off the south of Japan, He started practicing Karate at the age of 9 years with JKA instructor Sensei Maruo. When Soke Hirokazu Kanazawa formed SKIF he immediately joined his organisation in the 70's. At 18 Sensei Murakami studied at Takusoku university in Tokyo where previously Soke Kanazawa had studied. When graduating he took the two year SKIF Instructors course at the central SKIF Dojo and has remained there to this day.
As Sensei Manabu Murakami said "you should have fun practising Karate and if you motivate yourself you will get better each time. Look for that motivation which will stimulate you to enjoy it, then you will go far".
