Why do you feel like you are not worthy?
Is it lack of technique or a physical prowess? |
Neither!! It's a personal feeling, brought on through personal as well as professional loss!!

I cant say I know what you mean, but from reading your posts, you seem like a pragmatic person that takes a logical approach towards things.
Anyway, the reason I brought up technique and physical prowess was because, in some martial arts gyms/dojo/organizations, you have to prove yourself to the headmaster or the headmaster may just teach advance classes. |
To the bold type above...
Currently, I'm the "headmaster"; I'm the Kaicho of the SKKA.

Now I am even more confused as to why you feel like you are not worthy but I wont press the matter. That being said, I discovered an obscure kung fu master who played in 90s martial arts action movie.
His name is Chin Kar-lok and in a movie called the scorpion king (1992) he showed AMAZING kung fu movement that left me speechless.
I tried to find information but his peak was from the early to mid 90s and not too much information, though I did find an interview about his training which he was an all around kung fu guy, though he favored the southern style.
I would post a link but I remember few rules in regards to posting videos which I have to check again when I have time. |

Our Soke passed away in 2008 of natural causes.
Our Dai-Soke passed away in 2010 from two separate strokes.
Our Kancho and the 5 members of our Board of Regents passed away in 2016 from a head-on crash/accident.
These personal as well as professional losses have taken it's toll on me across the board. In that, I don't expect many to understand as to why I feel unworthy, and what I do feel is the furthest thing from self-pity, but it's more of a huge void embraces me daily.

Sorry to hear that, I assume you were close/reliant on the lost members. Hopefully you can recover and although I have no idea the structure of your style/dojo, hopefully there are some young talent that can help you fill the void. |

If I could, I would have trained with Joen Nakazato of Shorinji Ryu.
But I do consider myself lucky that I have had the opportunity to have trained repeatedly with AJ Advincula Sensei and Walt Van Gilson Sensei. Both 1st generation students, so even though Shimabuku Sensei died the year I was born, I'm as close as possible to the source.
I'll take it!!!

Well, being a Wado practitioner, I'd have to say Tatsuo Suzuki. My instructor often talks about the times he trained with him with great affection.
