Re: Kosho-Ryu Kenpo (Part 1) The Lesson

For those who have been tricked. There are some who wish to attack the character of others. However, what is done in darkness will see the light. These are pictures of Mr. Juchnick receiving his training in the Mitose system taken in 1982 when he invited Grand Master Hassan to Sacramento; to teach him the octagon, v-pattern, and the Mitose escape patterns. This is the extent of his training. Mr. Juchnick is not the Hanshi of the "old pine tree" Mitose system. This also contains audio footage.

rlwr2 - You know, Grandmaster James Mitose does have a son, Thomas. The rest of the folks who claim to be Hanshi are not even Asians. We have 2 White boys - on in Canada and another in the US, Sancramento to be exact, and a Black man who claim to be Hanshi. So, of these who is Japanese and who is family to Grandmaster Mitose? ANSWER: Thomas. Btw, I am not in Thomas' camp or Bruce's camp. My teacher left Kosho Ryu all together even though he has a certificate from Grandmaster Mitose & gave it up

Yes--and they are spelling his name wrong. Responses to the other issues raised would be more interesting.

I don't think you can open a school with someone after 7 weeks of training. Those knowledgeable in GGM Mitose kempo, know how GGM Mitose kept track of his students and their time. Most of this has been discussed already. Since repetition is only necessary when practicing, there is no need to continue. If you have new information, please post it. If you have questions about the transcripts, talk to someone who was there: GM Hassan. He is still alive. I wish you well in your own training.

[rlwr2]

Again, if Mr. Juchnick did not train, then what is he teaching that came from GGM Mitose? If he is teaching only philosophical concepts regarding GGM Mitose's system, then this is how it should be presented.

[rlwr2]

If in fact GM Hassan was trained in nothing but basics, why did Mr. Juchnick choose to seek out patterns and movements he should have already had if in fact he did train? He did not seek GM Hassan until after Mitose's passing. What could he had possibly want to "implement" in his (Juchnick) schools as he indicated, from someone (GM Hassan) who only knew basic moves? What is the point of learning what you already know, since learning in itself is a behavioral change?

[rlwr2]

However, let us not get distracted. You choose to devalue and marginalize GGM Mitose's system into just philosophy and principles??? You seem to forget that GGM Mitose's system is comprised of both theory and practical application (most of which took generations to perfect).

[rlwr2]

This is interesting. Ironically, his name seems to be spelled the same way (Juchnick) on numerous videos and postings over Youtube including seminars.

[ZhuangziZhou]

You certainly have it out for Juchnik (though you haven't bothered to learn how to spell his name). Who are you?

Kosho is a collection of concepts and principles. There are no katas or techniques in Kosho.

The trial transcripts, by the way, state that Hassan was not trained in anything beyond the most basic level of martial arts. Didn't Hassan only train with Mitose for 7 weeks? How much can be learned in that time? Answers to questions such as these would be more helpful.

[rlwr2]

Again, as previously mentioned, we do not dispute what Mr. Juchnick knows outside of GGM Mitose's Kempo. We have heard he is very talented. However, what he teaches is not what GGM Mitose taught, and therefore should not be claimed as such.

[rlwr2]

Moreover, Mr. Juchnick took the information he learned from GM Hassan and claimed it as GGM Mitose's direct instruction to him (Mr. Juchnick). If he did not physically train with GGM Mitose, what is he teaching? The so what becomes that people are studying what they believe is GGM Mitose's kempo when it is not. This puts them in danger of hurting themselves and other individuals. We do not believe that is what self-defense is designed to do.
