Mikio Nishiuchi question

[Andrew_Patton]

I just finished watching one of Nishiuchi's tapes for the very first time, and I have got to say the information on the tape is wrong. in the beginning naration it states to some effect that "Shihan Nishiuchi is the highest ranked student under Shinpo Matayoshi in the united states" now given that this was 1992 I was a bit scepticle at this claim, but I have heard he touted this again at a seminar he put on in chicago when this is clearly false.

AFAIR the highest ranked student under Matayoshi Sensei is my Instructor Tadashi Yamashita, Ninth Dan under Matayoshi Sensei, and head of the ZOKR in North America ( http://www.yamashitabudo.org/Kobudo.htm sourced from here), he's been Ninth Dan for quite some time, and had been 8th for a while before then.

 

I'd like some weigh in on this.
