Ego Assassin Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 For BJJ we only have look at https://www.bjj.org Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward,Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both,For a wounded man shall say to his assailant, If I live I will kill you, If I die you are forgiven.Such is the rule of HONOR!

orion82698 Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 For BJJ we only have look at https://www.bjj.orgNice. That's good to know. Why can't there be something like this for Karate...? I guess there is just too many systems, and too many dojo's. Thanks dude!

Fairfax_Uechi Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I'm looking to see if there is a way to find out who an instructor trained under (besides asking him)It really depends on the style. In a style like Uechi-Ryu, it's fairly easy as records are well kept, and the community is small. In my case, I can trace my lineage back to 1897, and Kanbun Uechi's teacher. (Shushiwa). But in other styles, I'm sure it's much harder. And I'm sure in sytles like "Bob-Ryu" lineage doesn't mean much as the self proclaimed "Grandmaster" doesn't care about his lineage as he (or she) is the founder.

feels Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I was told that the Hokkaido branch of Kyokushinkaikan had dissolved after Sosai Oyama passed away. My sensei was from there.Sensei Taku Nakasaka started Kyokushin Karate at age 15.In 1984, he placed 1st in the All Hokkaido Prefecture High School Karate Championships, when he was 17 years old (Open weight 90 fighters tournament). The following year, he won a championship as a Lightweight Men's Advance tournament. (64 fighters Tournament)Soon after, he became Assistant Instructor of the I.K.O. Kyokushinkaikan Dojo in his local area. At the age of 23, Sensei Nakasaka moved to United States in 1990.At the 6th World Open Karate Tournament in November 1995, he was in the top position among the nine fighters chosen to represent the U.S.A. and placed among the best 32 out of the 168 top fighters in the world.The Little Tokyo Dojo located in Los Angeles, California opened in 1996.In 2005, he became a branch chief of the Greater Los Angeles area.
