My deepest condolences and sympathy to the Sapena and Ciser families

Back in 1992 Sensei Walter J. O'Neill, Jr. and Sensei Patricia H. O'Neill were both in Japan for the 3rd Annual Fukuoka World Cup Karate Championships for Women. Sensei Walter O'Neill I was head coach and Sensei Patricia O'Neill was Assistant Head Coach of Team USA. Out of the 30 plus countries that were competing, Team USA finished fifth overall.

At the banquet following the tournament they had an opportunity to meet Antinio Inoki who was a Japanese Professional Wrestler who faced Muhammad Ali in 1976.

Following his career in the ring, Inoki became a president of the Japanese Wrestling Association, promoter of mixed martial arts and a politician in Japan.

In 1990 he went to Iraq as an “un-official one man diplomatic mission” and successfully negotiated with Saddam Hussein for the release of Japanese hostages before the outbreak of the Gulf War. As a result of that meeting 41 Japanese nations were free.

He has also made over 27 trips to North Korea to help free Japanese citizens held there.

In 2012, Inoki told the media that he converted to Islam when he made his journey to Iraq in 1990 and has changed his name to Muhammad Hussain Inoki. He says that he is both a Muslim and a Buddhist. He currently owns a restaurant in Tokyo which has a wrestling theme and has considered running for Governor.
