The Zenkoku Ryukyu Te Kenkyukai was started by Leon Major with the purpose of researching and preserving the traditions of the various Okinawan martial arts, referred to as Ti, Tode, Ryukyu Kempo, Uchinadi, Udundi or commonly known today as Karate. On September 8, 2020, Leon Major stepped down as Kaicho of the Zenkoku Ryukyu Te Kenkyukai in order to pursue other endeavors in the martial arts. He passed the organization and system of Ryukyu Te Kempo Jutsu to Steven Hatfield and Bret Gordon, and remains on the Board of Directors as Komon (advisor).
