Hanshi Richard Buchan, 9 Dan
National Representative of Canada
Contact: Email [email protected]


Grand Master Richard Buchan is a 9th degree black belt in Kosho Ryu Kenpo. He is an international martial arts instructor with 30 years experience. His greatest strength is helping people. As the founder of Kosho Ryu International he travels the globe to help people with their Ki.

Grand Master Buchan’s greatest quest is to take his martial arts to the highest level possible while teaching and helping people in the process. Over the years he has appeared on TV talk shows as well as teaching at international seminars in different countries.

His greatest love has been teaching at the respected “Old Pine Tree Centre” in Canada. This is an international master’s school open only to black belts and dan ranks of all styles. At the centre students learn to take the arts to mastery level. Classes are held every week. To help international students, each year there are seminars and workshops that are arranged in Ontario Canada to reach these goals for individuals that do not reside in Canada. He also invites other grand Masters to take part. His love for the arts is great and he does not charge for his instruction at the Pine Tree Centre.

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.

I can't find anything either. Judging from the content of the videos on his site it appears he's had training in Aikido or Aikijutsu. What he performs does not look very much like Kosho Shorei except for maybe 1 or 2 things he picked up from a few seminars with Juchnik Hanshi.

Hi, Rick Buchan did have Bruce Juchnik up for a seminar or two.

He got his blackl belt in 1994 in Kempo.With the help of a now retired instructor named Mike B. along with Ken Relf, Rick let them use his Dojo to also run a seminar with Thomas B. Mitose.

He uses the name Kosho Ryu and the crest because he has mentioned that the crest is public domain for all to use. This he told Ken.
