Chief Instructor (Kaicho)
Although he has been fascinated with martial arts study for most of his life, Shihan Scott Campsall started seriously training with Hanshi Fred Walker in 1994.
Five years later, under Hanshi Walker’s guidance, he founded Okami Kai which provides award winning martial arts education to the Uxbridge, Ontario area.
He now currently trains with 9th degree black belt Hanshi Cezar Borkowski of Northern Karate Schools in Toronto. Under Hanshi Borkowski’s guidance, he is always adapting and evolving his martial arts knowledge to not only further his own development, but the Okami Kai student’s as well. On September 24, 2011, Shihan Scott Campsall was promoted to the rank of Godan (5th degree) black belt in the art of Karate by Hanshi Borkowski accompanied by 10th Degree black belts Masami Tsuruoka, Tetsuhiro Hokama, and Kiyonori Shiroma. He was given the title of Shihan (Master Instructor on May 31, 2015. On March 11, 2017, Hanshi Borkowski promoted Shihan to Rokudan (6th degree) black belt.
His journey into Yoshinkai Aikido training began in early 2003 under the guidance of 9th degree black belt Hanshi Kevin Blok of Windsor, Ontario. He obtained his Nidan (second degree) black belt in Aikido on August 10, 2017 and has also obtained his Shodan (first degree black belt) in Iaido from Hanshi Blok on May 30, 2015. Shihan Campsall also works as an Instructor Trainer with Hanshi Blok’s company, On Guard International. He has also been certified in Non-Physical Crisis Intervention and as an adjustable baton instructor.
Shihan says he has never met a martial art he didn’t like and this shows in his persistent desire to learn from the best teachers in the world. The phrase “Kyudo Mugen” means the “pathway of learning never ends”. Shihan not only believes this, he constantly demonstrates it by training every chance he gets.
