In 1987, he moved to the United States, winning the heavyweight division at the precursor to the All-American Karate Challenge in Colorado, known as the All-American Sabaki Challenge. Subsequently, he established the Ashihara Karate Association Los Angeles branch. Feeling the limitations of maneuvering within the framework of competitions, he stopped active competition and developed Shintai Kyudo.
