Chikubukai is a martial arts organisation for keeping the arts of the late Shogo Kuniba and transferring them to the next generation. Shogo Kuniba was creator of four martial art systems and was the first Soke of his style in the USA. Currently, William H. Price is the second Soke of the style based on the Kuniba testament before his death due to cancer. He was one of the closest men to Kuniba and was with Kuniba until Kuniba's death.

Chiku means Bamboo, bu martial and Kai association in Japanese, and Chikubukai is Association of Bamboo Warrior. Shogo Kuniba believed that a Budoka should be like a Bamboo, flexible but strong and light but hard. This is the reason that Bamboo or Chiku is the symbol of this martial arts organisation.
