Is Soke Kenzo Mabuni (of the Shi to Ryu style) OK? I had briefly seen on another forum, someone claiming that he has passed away. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
Thanks.
Thanks.

TimoS 07-05-2005, 07:43 AM When was this? 26 June, apparently arnisador 07-05-2005, 10:00 PM . twendkata71 07-15-2006, 12:37 PM Apparently he left the sokeship to his daughter. This has to be a first in Japan. The other son Kenei,which runs the Shito kai, is still around. After the father died(Kenwa), both claimed to be the inheriter of the Shito ryu style. They splintered and Kenei started the Shito kai branch and Kenzo held the name Seito Shito ryu. Perhaps I have that backwards. Anyway. I am sorry to hear about Mabuni Kenzo Soke's passing. green meanie 07-15-2006, 09:18 PM Rest in peace. :asian: tshadowchaser 07-15-2006, 11:36 PM .
