He started training under his father in 1960 as a child at the age of 6. Eight years later he studied tinbé (halberd and shield) kata under Shinken Taira Sensei. In 1970, his father sent him to study karate under the late Shijin Gushiken (1944-1994). Akamine Sensei was awarded teacher's license in karate by Eisuke Akamine Sensei (1987) and by Gushiken Sensei (1994). 1999 he was awarded teacher's license in kobudo by Eisuke Akamine Sensei.
