Unlike many other schools and martial artists who claim to be "authentic", students of the Sin Thé Karate School have a direct lineage to the Shaolin Temples in China. Our teacher, Elder Master Bill Leonard, and many of the students study directly under Grandmaster Sin Thé. His teacher was Grandmaster Ie Chang Ming, who began his studies at the Shaolin Temple as a young boy. His teacher was the legendary Su Kong Tai Djin! We are only two generations from them!
