By the age of thirteen, he had already reached a high level of excellence. This is confirmed by the fact that a teenager could kill a piglet with a blow of his fist with any hand. To continue his development, Tak left for Tokyo. In the capital, after adapting, he began teaching police the basics of the "art of arrest." After some time, he was given the nickname "suppressor of the crowd." At the age of seventeen, Kubota opened his own school, in which he trained police officers to cope with lawbreakers.
Tak's career as a mentor and coach was quite successful. In 1953, he registered the International Karate Association in a suburb of Tokyo. Since that time, Kubotu has been systematically invited to teach karate, judo, and kendo classes for American marines and military pilots. In 1963, Takayuki came to the United States for the first time as a guest of honor at a karate tournament. After demonstration performances, he was offered a job training police officers. A year later, he moved to America permanently.
Recognition and privacy
