Just recieved from Okinawa the very sad news concerning the passing away of IHA Koshin Sensei.
Very sad news, even we all know that is the nature, it is so sad, we loose another great Sensei of the very first line of the origin of our art Okinawa Goju Ryu. I have been truly blessed to be able to study from Iha Sensei and enjoy his great knowledge, expertise and his passion to the art. Iha Sensei will continue to be through his teachings in our heart and through our training. MAy Sensei rest in peace, Gassho

February 7, 2012
very important fact, concerning our training of classical Okinawan Karate Do !
Just to be clear, despite what some advanced-rank people seem to think, learning a routine or where to put your feet and hands is not the puprose of kata. Kata are very old and very basic training routines to teach you how to use your body. If the way you are doing kata isn't making your fighting better, you are doing it wrong.

January 29, 2012
Iha Koshin Sensei...we remember ((1925.11.24-2012.01.28)

This mail have been ciculated by Kancho Miyazato, the leader of Sho Honbu Jundokan. I would like to make a humble statement, I joined the legendary Jundokan Dojo for being under the instruction of the late Miyazato Eichi O Sensei. I never had idea or interest about local organisational build ups. I come systematicaly, year by year to learn and experiance from the wealth of knowledge and the atmospher of the Jundokan Dojo, that produced the longest line of famous Goju Masters (Higaonna Morio, Chinnen Teruo, Sensei and the whole line of Ju Dans like Hichiya, Minei, Yasuda and more, all product of this uniqe Dojo and it's leader Miyazato Eichi Sensei).
As a humble student and teacher of this specific path, I am full heartedly continue my support and loyalty to Sho Honbu Jundokan and to Miyazato Kancho. The history of the Dojo and the memory of Miyazato Sensei is the light that I would like to enlighten my jurney of Okinawa Goju Ryu Karate Do, the Jundokan way.
Taira Sensei will remain a good friend and a respected karateka, wish him all my best on his own independent way.

Dear All,
Just received the shocking news concerning Chinen Shinzo, Sensei. The passing away of a great Sensei of our Ryuha is always sad and painful. It is a fact that we loosing time after time one of our dear Sempai, with so impressive lifelong professional experience. Chinen Sensei, was an old time, dear Friend, from the 80's ..... we refereed together within WKF (than still the old WUKO), we meet again and again at the Jundokan Dojo in Okinawa and had a lot of great drinks and jokes together through out the night, at his legendary little "pub", the best place to meet all local karateka in Naha, Okinawa. The right place after training, always good food, drink, great company and atmosphere. Chinen Sensei was an excellent karateka, a wonderful kata performer, he will be greatly missed. Hearty condolences to the family and all his friends, his spirit and memory will lighten up our way forever. May his soul rest in peace. Gassho Rony Kluger
