Hi Everyone!
I received quite a few "updates" on a news that Japan Union Rengokai is splitting again, this time into Hasegawa/ Ooishi group. It is so interesting because they hated each other from all the years I have known them.
I am wondering what their purpose is. Motivation other than for their selfish, irresponsible reasons to make meager money and the consequences are always dire on the students. (And the one's who has to be responsible for the actions.)
To make the matter even harder to comprehend, they recruited the people who not just left Honbu, but has been expelled by Honbu. Cameron Quinn and few others. I guess they will recruit and grade anything, which always were the case with what I observed with the Rengokai over the years.
It is sad that little lessons been learned by these people. They caused and continues to cause so much trouble in Kyokshin Karate and the in world of Kyokushin. The worst part is, they have no qualm about doing it.
Hasegawa and Ooishi were one of the key people who originally made the Union, stating many legal inaccuracies to lure members. However back then, we all hoped that they will do some justice... (Sigh).
I was certainly jubilant they tried to win their independence on their own. I felt they were trying to earn it, instead being handed to them, or more like, taking it is not theirs!!!
Rengokai had a nice mission statement which we wanted to believe in but did not take long for them to change course. We are no fortune tellers but it would not be difficult to predict similar pattern of behavior from these men.
