Yushikan Dojo: How the Master's got their rank part 2
http://yushikan.blogspot.com/2014/01/how-masters-got-their-rank-part-2.html
Essay's of Okinawan Karate and Kobudo by Mike Jones. Wednesday, January 15, 2014. How the Master's got their rank part 2. Really this should be part one but after I had several inquires, I went back a little further. Dan, this ranking structure was also used by Kenwa Mabuni Sensei for his Shito-ryu. In 1939 the Butokukai issued more karate titles;. Ueshima the founder of Kushin-ryu was awarded Kyoshi at age 50. Gichin Funakoshi was awarded Renshi at age 71. Kenwa Mabuni was awarded Renshi at age 50.
