Wow! This gave me some ideas on how to do my kobujutsu room and also a knife room (in my dreams, obviously) around my private dojo in my man cave.

I have put the last 20 years into building this basement and I'm so proud of how far it's come. This is truly my happy place. Let me know what you'd like to ...

Congratulations to Mr Christopher Brown Shibucho as the new branch chief of Yuishinkai & RKHSK USA East (Boston). I (Colman Fink) will be relocating to be nearer to my grandchildren and am in the process of selling my house.

For Feisty Lion Martial Arts & Fitness students, Chris Sensei will be conducting your Kobujutsu classes now.
.. And in case you were wondering, RKHSK is an acronym for our organization, Ryukyu Kobujutsu Hozon Shinko Kai.

The Yuishinkai & RKHSK USA East group (Boston and Cleveland) last couple of days in Tokyo. Inoue Kisho Hanshi was gracious enough to show us the sohonbu dojo just before the first of two scheduled training sessions with him. We're probably the last members of our organization from outside Japan to see it. For me, it was a little sad. Reconstruction of the Toyosaka Inari Shrine where the sohonbu dojo resided was delayed to start next month in August and the dojo will not be available for the next two years.

BTW we couldn't train here, it was elsewhere. Hanshi still had the keys to the place.

The Yuishinkai & RKHSK USA East group (Boston and Cleveland) fifth night and second training session at the Shimizu dojo of Watanabe Shihan and Kawasaki Shihan. I still remember Kawasaki Shihan from our Cape Town trip when he gave me his training surujin.

The Yuishinkai & RKHSK USA East group (Boston and Cleveland) had a second night of training with the Shizuoka dojo of Yokota Shihan & Shingai Hanshi in the Judo hall (1F) of Kagoue Junior High School, Shizuoka City, Japan. It was great meeting up with Shingai Hanshi again.

In the 80's, I was a big admirer of Andre Tippett when I used to watch the New England Patriots. I knew he was involved in Okinawan Karate but this interview gives some insights of how it (or his martial arts experience) has helped with his football. Those who dismiss the Sanchin kata, listen to what Andre says about it.

Whistlekick Martial Arts, great interview!
