Biography

File:Shojiro Jibiki and Sosui Ichikawa at Sosuikan dojo.jpg
Sitting on the second row, the fifth one from left to right diagonally behind Ichikawa, we see Shojiro Jibiki with a group of karateka at the Sosuikan dojo. The students trained under the tutelage of Sosui Ichikawa.

Shojiro Jibiki was born in Tokyo, Japan in 1942, and started his formal karate training at the age of 9 under Iasosato. At the age of 14, in July of the year 1956, Jibiki entered Gōjū-Kai (剛柔会).[1] in Tokyo to start his karate training under Jitsumi Gōgen Yamaguchi (山口剛玄).[2] A year later, in February 1957, Shojiro was introduced to Zen Nihon Gōjū-ryu Karate-do Renmei (全日本剛柔流空手道連盟) at the Sosuikan (素水館) dōjō located in Inarichō, Tokyo, at which point he continued his training under the tutelage of Sosui Ichikawa (市川 素水).[3][4]

After 9 years of rigorous training, at the age of 23 during October 1965, Shojiro decides to continue his path independently by founding the Kenshokan Karate-do Federation (拳昌館空手道連盟), becoming its chairman and establishing the Taitō Area (台東) branch in October 1966.[citation needed] On January 27th of 1969 Kazuhiro Jibiki (地引 一弘), the eldest son of Shojiro and actual Kancho (館長)of the organization, is born.[citation needed] Four years after the foundation of the Federation, in October 1970, Jibiki opens Kenshokan's Honbu Dōjō (本部道場) setting up the headquarters in the area of Machiya, Arakawa (荒川区町屋) in Tokyo.[5]

In January 1974 Hiroshi Taninokuchi (谷ノ口 弘), an instructor recognized for the introduction of Shotokan karate in Colombia and the creation of the Colombian Karate Association (ASCOK) in 1971, after living in Colombia for some time, decides to travel to Japan to update his technique, returning in January of the same year to the South American country with a newly obtained 4th Dan, and Shojiro Jibiki, also known as Masahiro Hachiya (蜂谷 昌広).[citation needed] At the moment, the already 7th Dan Shihan Shojiro, with his experience and superior technique, injected new vigor into the karate soul of the Colombian karateka.[citation needed] After 12 months of living in Colombia, in December 1974, Jibiki expands overseas by opening the Colombia branch, followed by Ecuador and Venezuela; thus, establishing the new International Federation of Kenshokai Gōjū-ryu Karate-Do (剛柔流拳昌会国際空手道連盟).[citation needed] Jibiki would travel back and forth from Japan since then, bringing talented Japanese practitioners that would stay to represent him during his absence such as Shiro Ono (小野 四郎), Masao Isono (磯野 正雄), Shigeru Nishiyama (西山 茂), Akira Osawa (大沢 明), Hidehiro Ishihara (石原 秀洋) and Isao Homma (本間 勲).[citation needed] Jibiki, along with the later mentioned Sensei, forged the first generation of Kenshokai students in Colombia, South America.[citation needed] The most senior students were Eduardo Pérez Anaya, José Segura Vega, Hernando Visbal Bermúdez, Gabriel Martínez Guerrero, Luis Martínez Marrugo, Leibnytz Byron 'Rei' Osorio Bajo, Germán Acuña Pérez, Guillermo Amador Cárdenas, Rafael Escallón Góngora and Alfonso Álvarez López.[citation needed]

In the subsequent years, the International Federation of Kenshokai Gōjū-ryu Karate-Do (剛柔流拳昌会国際空手道連盟)[6] continued to expand in Japan with the inauguration of three new branches: Adachi (足立) in June 1978; Hanahata (花畑) in August 1979; and Oku (尾久) in October 1981. In 1978 the anniversary of the Federation is celebrated with a Karate-do Tournament in the Taitō dōjō hall.[7]

Eduardo Pérez Anaya, one of the most senior students of Shojiro Jibiki from South America, had moved to the United States where he met José Fundora[8] and introduced him to Kenshokai Karate, and in September 1984 at the request of José Fundora,[9] Jibiki traveled to the United States and the Miami branch was opened. The Kenshokai Kancho continued to travel all over the world teaching Gōjū-ryu.[citation needed] In April 1986 and July 2000, two more branches opened in Japan, Arakawa (荒川) and Takenotsuka (竹ノ塚) respectively.[10]

The three major Gōjū styles are Gōgen Yamaguchi's (山口剛玄) Gōjū-Kai (剛柔会), Morio Higaonna's (東恩納 盛男) Okinawa Gōjū-ryu (沖縄剛柔流), and Nihon Gōjū-ryu (日本剛柔流). Kenshokai (拳昌会) belongs to the latter mentioned which has the following lineage: Kanryō Higashionna (東恩納 寛量), Chōjun Miyagi (宮城 長順), Sekō Higa (比嘉 世幸), Kanki Izumigawa (泉川 寛喜), Sosui Ichikawa (市川 素水),[11][12][13][14][15] Shojiro Jibiki (地引 昌次郎) and Kazuhiro Jibiki (地引 一弘).[citation needed]

Jibiki was one of the first to advocate tournament competitions for kids and youngsters.[citation needed] He founded the All Japan Junior Karate-Do Federation with his schools and some of his friends. Knowing that they all had a lot of differences, especially in kata, he decided that the tournaments would be limited to Kumite only.[citation needed] This brought more criticisms from some of his peers, but knowing that karateka always argue about kata, he continued his pursuit to unite schools and systems.[citation needed] Shojiro Jibiki believed greatly in kata, and was a perfectionist who stressed the importance of basics.[16]

The founder and Kancho of the International Federation of Kenshokai Gōjū-ryu Karate-Do, Shojiro Jibiki, passed away on January 13 of 2001 in Tokyo, Japan.[citation needed] After the passing of Shojiro, Kazuhiro Jibiki (地引 一弘), his eldest son, became the Kancho (館長) of the organization.[citation needed]

Exact interpretations are problematic due to disagreements about the interpretation of the Kanji.[citation needed] Furthermore, the interpretation of these characters can vary due to variable syntax.[citation needed] Only kata with numbers can be specified, and only as long as the numbers exist; all esoteric references to these numbers are merely conjecture.[citation needed]

It can be said that the true meaning of the kata may only be known at the time of its creation.[citation needed] The exact context has most likely been lost due to time, translation, and personal opinion[18]
