Frank Van Lenten, a US Marine spent 15 years in Japan during and after WW 2. He trained constantly and achieved high ranking black belts in several Karate styles before returning to the US.
He had many students who became black belts who taught and promoted black belts of their own. There are many Karate schools and thousands of students in the United States thanks to Hanshi Van Lenten.
