Karate teacher visits UNL,
watches students perform
By Scott Ahlstrand
The UNL Kenkojuku Karate Associa
tion was recently visited by Master Shihan
Tomosaburo Okano. Okano started the
Kenkojuku Association in 1941 and is head
of the Japan Kenkojuku Karate Associa
tion. Okano, from Japan, is visiting several
of his schools throughout the United
States.
Assistant Professor, and third degree
black belt, Richard Schmidt was enthu
siastic about Okano's presence.
"1 consider it a very high honor to have
one of the few remaining close students of
Funokoshi visit us. It is also an honor be
cause of the high position he holds in the
Zen Ku Ren,' Schmidt said.
"Mr. Okano was very impressed with
our students. He thought they performed
well technically and that they also had a
fine attitude and good spirit," he added.
Master Okano arrived in Lincoln Aug.
24 and left for Florida Aug. 29. Workouts
were held Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day nights during Okano's stay and were
open to club members and UNL students
in karate classes.
Special day classes were also held for
those who have the brown and black belts.
To help with the instructions, Okano
brought three students with him from
Japan.
The 59-year-old Okano, who is a
seventh degree black belt in karate and
iaido (samurai sword drawing), amazed the
club with both his quickness and tech
nique. The club presented Okano with an
honorary award which read "In apprecia
tion for your continued devotion and dedi
cation to the teaching of the true spirit of
karate."
Okano holds many honors including
being on the Board of Directors of the
prestigious Federation of all Japanese
Karate Organizations (Zen Ku Ren). He
was also a student of Gichin Funokohshi.
Funokohshi is considered the father of
modern karate.
Two of Okano's former students were
present for his visit. Larry Durst, the head
instructor of UNL's Kenkojuku Karate
Association and Ted Raitch, head of a
Maryland Kenkojuku Association. Both
trained under Okano in Japan.
It was the first time they had seen
Okano since 1964.

"Reiman will be playing
in the number one slot, but
the other slots are up in the
air because those five are so
evenly matched" Hawkins
said. "With the talent evenly
matched, we should be able
to pick up valuable team
points in the lower match
es. Hawkins hopes structures
practices and a fall weight
progranv will help improve
the team.
The team opens its
season on Sept. 11 when
they host Kansas State at 2
pjn. on the tennis courts at
