Although
we teach and train in several arts at the Aikibudo Seishinkan Dojo,
one of our primary objectives is to preserve the legacy of Shogo
Kuniba Soke of Motobuha Shito Ryu Karatedo.
Mc Coy Shihan had oppertunity to
receieve some training directly from Kuniba Soke. In addition, he
has trained under Richrd P.Baillargeon in the NKJU, Darrel Craig
Kyoshi of the Houston Budokan and Clement Riedner of the Christian
Black Belt Association. Mr. Baillargeon was Kuniba Soke's Senior
American Student and the first U.S. Representative for the Seishinkai
Karate Union. Mr. Craig trained under Mr. Baillargeon before travelling
to Japan to train with Kuniba Soke and became the 2nd U.S. Representative
for Seishinkai Karate Union. Mr. Riedner was the 2nd American to
receive a Dan ranking from Kuniba Soke, preceeded only by Mr. Baillargeon.
The Kuniba Legacy is preserved not
only in the spirit of this club but in the teaching of Goshin Budo
Jujutsu and the Motobuha Shito Ryu Karatedo |
