who gave Juchnik his title?I was at a seminar where Hanshi was asked about this guy. Apparently, a number of years ago. Richard Buchan invited Hanshi Juchnik to Canada to teach a seminar on Kosho Ryu. Shortly after, Buchan declared himself to be the Hanshi of Kosho Ryu and a 9th Dan in Kosho Ryu Kempo. Ironicly there is no Dan grade beyond 7th in Kosho Ryu. Juchnik Hanshi is only a 7th Dan. I believe Pat Kelly Sensei is a 6th Dan as is Uncle Larry & possibly Mike Brown Sensei. Juchnik Hanshi does not view himself as the Grand Master of Kosho Ryu either.
