McClernan, Kyoshi to the rank of Hachi Dan (8th Dan). McClernan Sensei was promoted on Friday evening, July 19th, 2013 during a presentation ceremony held at the 2013 Tai Kai. The event was sanctified by a joint proclamation of the Yoshukai Karate International Testing Board recognizing McClernan Sensei for his outstanding leadership and dedication to the Yoshukai Karate International organization. During the ceremony, McClernan Sensei was presented with a beautiful handcrafted kakijiku (hanging scroll), a unique piece of artwork commissioned in Japan by a local artisan. The kakijiku is constructed entirely by hand of silk brocade and fine paper and features a hand painted calligraphy inscription (in kanji) that reads: In addition, the board presented McClernan Sensei with a set of Michael H.

Hali Toreihi Mr. Machen started training in the mid 1970’s with 1st Kyu Mr. Randy Caine at the Sylacauga Karate School. Collin Yeager Before he began studying martial arts, Mr. Machen John Mitchell actually had the blind luck of meeting Yamamoto Sensei while he was visiting the Sylacauga Karate 1st Dan dojo. Mr. Machen had stopped by to observe the class and was leaning up Jay Holland against the wall with his arms crossed. Yamamoto Sensei walked over to him, slammed a forearm into his chest and said, “do not cross your arms - you get Rayna Herringdine hit!" It made such an impression on Mr. Machen that he joined the class. He Kaila Kelly trained off and on for several years before making brown belt in late 80s and nd then black belt in the early 90’s. Shortly 2 Dan after receiving his black belt, Mr. Anna Kelly Machen took over the Sylacauga Karate Arian Ryan School when Mr. Randy Caine relocated Ray Tainui to Texas.

Foster Sensei is the founder of the Yoshukai International Karate Association (YIKA) and is credited for bringing Yoshukai Karate to the United States. Foster Sensei began his training during the late 1950’s at the Itazuke Air Force base in Japan. He later received senior rank from Dr. Tsuyoshi Chitose and Mamorou Yamamoto in the mid 1960’s. In 1966 through 1969 he was the undefeated United States Karate kumite champion. In the mid 1970’s, Foster Sensei established the Yoshukai International Karate Association (YIKA). The association would later grow to include portions of the United States, Canada, Germany, Australia, and New Zealand. In 1990, Mr. Foster formed the Yoshukai International Karate Association’s testing board to provide a standardized system for ranking dan grades. The board’s Executive Director, Michael H. McClernan along with a testing board consisting of senior dan grades worked together to establish the kata and kumite standards currently in effect today. After twenty- seven years of holding the rank of 7th Dan, Sensei Foster was promoted to the rank of Ku Dan (9th degree black belt) and given the title of Hanshi (Master Instructor) at a ceremony on May 17, 2003 in Titusville FL. The rank and title were bestowed by the Shihan and Renshi classes of Mike Foster's Yoshukai International Karate Association. Yoshukai International Karate Association is a direct descendant of Dr. Tsuyoshi Chitose (Chito-Ryu). Foster Sensei trained with Mamorou Yamamoto Sensei under Dr. Tsuyoshi Chitose and is celebrated for taking that knowledge and evolving the art with his own personal style. In 2008, the testing board established Yoshukai Karate International (YKI), a “not-for-profit” corporation whose mission is to preserve and promote the history and traditions of Yoshukai Karate while maintaining the highest standards of integrity, family values and the fair and equitable treatment of all members. As we continue on our journey we are building on the works of the great masters who have come before us. 4 Yoshukai Karate International Fall 2013 Bamboo Dojo Tournament Results Division Place Total Name Dojo Age Belt Kata Kumite Kobudo Points CJ Eiswerth Vero Beach 8 yrs Green 1st 1st 1st 11 Isis le-Tolbert Vero Beach 10 yrs (F) Green 1st 1st 1st 11 Parker Bledsoe Port Orange 11 yrs Brown 1st 1st 1st 11 Jeremy Crawford Port Orange Adult Brown 1st 2nd 1st 10 Ricky Knight Titusville Adult Brown 2nd 1st

THE DEVELOPMENT AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MARTIAL ARTS EXPERIENCE IN NEW ZEALAND A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Social Science at Lincoln University by Diana Looser Lincoln University 2003 2 Abstract THE DEVELOPMENT AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MARTIAL ARTS EXPERIENCE IN NEW ZEALAND This thesis examines the martial arts in New Zealand. It takes three approaches. The first is socio­ historical, with a particular focus on the history and development of martial arts practice in New Zealand. The second is socio-cultural and is concerned with the characteristics of the people . practising the various martial arts. The third is motivational and explores the reasons why people become involved in martial arts training and why they continue. The theories of risk and the risk society, and popular or mass consumer culture are used to help explain, and provide a social context for understanding, people's motivations. In addition, the black belt is examined in terms of its symbolic nature and its role in motivating people to begin, and continue with, their training.
