Bushido Award 2013 Winner - Les Heri presented by the Nikkei Games Karate Committee 

The Bushido Award is given to the competitor that has demonstrated karate in the true spirit of budo. It is not necessarily given to the best competitor but is also awarded for extraordinary displays of sportsmanship and spirit.
The winner is selected by the Nikkei Karate Committee. A trophy is awarded and the winner 

recognized at the subsequent years event. Winners need not be selected every year, only if a competitor displays the necessary qualifications.
When we select an award winner, it is not about the who the best fighter is or who does the best kata. It is primarily about demonstration of the martial spirit. It is about a competitor that exemplifies the true values of Bushido (warrior’s code). Proper attitude is paramount. The competitor is a humble when winning and is respectful when losing. When fighting, the competitor exercises proper control and constantly demonstrates good sportsmanship. 

When an entire dojo demonstrates these qualities, it is hard to pick one winner. 

The reason why the students have these qualities is because of an exemplary Sensei. It is because of this that this year’s recipient of the Nikkei Karate Bushido Award goes to Bushido Award 2013 Winner - Les Heri 

Heri Sensei, a native of New York City, a student of Shihan Michael Robinson.
Currently Heri Sensei is a 5th dan in Goju Ryu and has been studying martial arts since 1972. He is a former champion in kumite and kobudo in the Hollywood Nationals. He was also a former 

kata champion from the LA National Martial Arts Championship. 

Sensei Heri has been a strong supporter of the Nikkei Games karate tournament. He requires participation in the tournament by all his students. He also requires
all students and parents to stay for the duration of the tournament, teaching the students respect and support for their fellow team members. This is commendable 

and further solidified our decision to present him with the award. 

Heri Sensei currently teaches more than 100 students each week in three locations and at his dojo in Torrance, CA Our Karate School is focused on teaching practical self-defense techniques that can be used in real-life situations. Our experienced instructors will help you learn to protect yourself and your loved ones.

…..are you ready for a challenge that will increase your situational awareness and develop amazing defensive skills that can allow you the ability to protect yourself and your loved ones?

Our classes are NOT geared for recreational purposes, to have fun or to have something to do. Shoreiha Dojo, its teachers, students, curriculum and training are quite serious and is NOT designed for everyone. It IS designed to get practical results and visible progress is usually apparent within the first three months of training. Shoreiha Dojo’s emphasis on serious, disciplined training reflects its deep roots in the traditional of the martial arts of Okinawa, the birthplace of karate. The dojo is not just a place for casual fitness or social interaction; it’s a serious institution where students are expected to commit fully to their own martial arts journey. This focus on genuine, long-term progress distinguishes Shoreiha Dojo from many other schools or recreational programs that prioritize a more relaxed approach or short-term goals.The approach described—requiring a formal interview with Sensei before acceptance—signifies that Shoreiha Dojo is mindful of the potential of the prospective student. This step ensures that each individual is mentally prepared to take on the rigorous demands of the dojo's curriculum. Sensei seeks out whether the prospective student has the mindset and character necessary for the challenges ahead. It’s not just about the physical capabilities of the student, but about mental discipline, perseverance, and the right attitude.Shoreiha Dojo's structure is designed for individuals who are serious about their martial arts development and understand that real progress takes time, effort, and dedication. By focusing on creating visible results within a relatively short time (the first three months), the dojo sets clear expectations for its students, both in terms of effort and outcomes. This isn't a place for trial and error; instead, it’s about commitment to long-term growth.The curriculum itself involves not just technical skill development but also mental fortitude, respect for tradition, and a focus on self-discipline. These are hallmarks of traditional Okinawan karate, where martial arts training is as much about shaping character as it is about perfecting technique.By not allowing casual “let’s try it out” students, Shoreiha Dojo is ensuring that its members are fully invested in their martial arts journey. This creates a more cohesive and serious environment where everyone shares a common goal: to progress, learn, and excel. The community becomes stronger because each student is there with intention and focus.In summary, Shoreiha Dojo offers much more than just a physical workout or a fun hobby. It is a place for individuals who are committed to mastering the discipline of karate, undergoing a transformative experience that develops both body and mind thereby strengthening the spirit of the practitioner in the process. The formal interview process and rigorous standards ensure that only those who are serious about the practice become part of the dojo thereby fostering an environment of dedication, respect, and continuous growth.

The, ‘let’s try it out and see if he likes it’ thinking, is not honored here. 

Students are expected to be committed to their training BEFORE they are accepted into the Dojo and begin their exciting, yet demanding new journey..…a formal interview by Sensei IS required by ALL prospective students as a prerequisite to joining this class and our Dojo. For those under 18 years of age, your school grades will be discussed as we believe that successful academic performance is of paramount importance for your future. Life success is far more important than ANY recreational accolades. The average grade of Shoreiha Juniors is a B+, and the average GPA of H.S. students of Shoreiha Dojo is a 3.35. Students over 13 years of age must produce a copy of Red Cross Certification of Community (infant, child and adult) CPR and First Aid to qualify for Brown and Black Belt grading! At your interview with Heri Sensei, please be prepared to speak (for yourself) of your schedule, goals, number of classes a week you will be training year-round, and ANY activities that may interfere with your regular training schedule. Females of all ages are encouraged to join as Sensei is a big believer in Girl Power and has helped many young ladies achieve some of their goals in the realm of confidence, poise, personal discipline, safety (situational) awareness and true physical self defense skills. We welcome those who are serious about beginning the difficult and arduous journey to tackle the fears that hold us back from the potential we are all given...

Shoreiha Dojo: A Deep Commitment to Tradition and Practical Results

Shoreiha Dojo traces its roots to Naha, Okinawa—the birthplace of karate. The dojo's lineage connects it to the historical traditions and rigorous standards of Okinawan martial arts.

Consistent determined effort, dedication, sacrifice and self discipline ABSOLUTELY get measurable results...Do YOU have what it takes? If not, can you generate what it takes? When I began training 53 years ago...I DID NOT HAVE what it took...I was mindfully, though not gently guided along the way.I am here to help you develop your skills, agility, strategies for defense that can be useful in nearly any situation when you will need it the most, ask any surviving victim of a violent attack and they will tell you. We live in less than gentle world where the wolf DOES exist and may actually come for you or your family. Shockingly this can happen as you sit in your easy chair in your living room with the doors locked. After asking a locksmith which tumbler is best, he said it doesn't make a difference, "Locks, are for honest people and the bad guys will get in if they want it bad enough."Bill Gove, a pioneer in paid public speaking, told us a story I'll never forget. Just before Frank Sinatra stepped out from behind the curtain to perform, a reporter stopped him and said, "Mr. Sinatra, there are 18,000 people in the audience, are you scared?"He said," I have a hundred of hours of practice for each line of the songs I sing." He smiled and said, "I'm not SCARED, because I'm PREPARED!"...and LIFE is much the same...

Les Héri Shihan

The word Sensei means, "One who has gone before."                               The implication is that a wise Sensei can show you the 'Way', which is the Do, in karate-do. This journey can be your choice to discover, develop, polish and hone your skills and sharpen you perception and your mind as we seek peace and balance in our lives.

In the dojo

There IS no comfort zone in the Dojo and as such, growth or attrition come quickly. In the world today, incomprehensible violence is commonplace. We may be targeted at terribly inconvenient times, are we prepared in any way to insure our safety? It is very difficult to choose to honestly assess one's vulnerability to a direct and purposeful physical assault upon YOU by a determined attacker. It is frightening to think of a pair of hard men, just released from prison after serving twenty years, gazing at my daughter...                 Ironically, the Ostrich defense is what many intelligent people do when they realize, in a moment of danger, that they are completely unprepared.  Remember the 3 Little Pigs and build your house on a strong foundation. 20 years of disciplined schooling to earn a Doctorate degree is a good investment for education yet not spending a single hour practicing how to actually save your life or virtue from a violent attack. is foolishness. I assure that you will not feel comfortable when an emotionally disturbed person behind you at checkout at Vons becomes uncontrollable violent because he is chemically imbalanced from drugs or he may be off his meds. Think of this as Preventative Medicine and do not wait till you hear the words Stage 4 before you move into action. Our classes are NOT geared for recreational purposes, to have fun or to have something to do. Shoreiha Dojo, its teachers, students, curriculum and training are quite serious and is this is certainly not for everyone.

Michael Robinson began his martial arts path at the age of eight under Ronald Carter Sensei, (student of Thomas Boddie). At the age of eleven, he was awarded his brown belt in Japanese Goju and showed great promise in both kata and kumite. He remembers four-hour classes, three times a week as a normal thing in those days.

 At age eleven, Robinson Sensei began training under Master Leon Wallace (student of Peter Urban) and continued to do so for the next decade. Training was severe, five days a week (as he continued with Carter Sensei) and Saturdays was “kumite day” at the Harlem YMCA where there was a Shotokan club that welcomed outsiders. Sundays were reserved for tournaments attended with Wallace Sensei.  At age sixteen, Robinson Sensei began studying under Thomas Boddie Sensei (student of Urban while he was still under Yamaguchi).  

 In the mid-1960’s, at the age of eighteen, Robinson Sensei’s father moved the entire family to Tokyo while on assignment with the UN. Upon arrival, Robinson Sensei took up his training at the Shoreikan Dojo in Tokyo under Master Seikichi Toguchi. He trained there full time for the year his family lived in Japan.

Upon returning to New York City, Robinson Sensei resumed his training at the Uptown Dojo of Boddie Sensei in upper Manhattan at 164th St. and Amsterdam Ave. He received the rank of Sho dan at age 22 from Boddie Sensei.  A number of prominent Japanese instructors filtered through this historic dojo. Shinoda Sensei came first for about a year, at that time he was the US representative of the Shoreikan.  Not long after, a remarkable event occurred.  The entire dojo, including Boddie Sensei, was converted to the Shoreikan system. This event would be unheard of in today’s martial arts world. Boddie Sensei saw the wisdom of converting to Okinawan Goju under the auspices of Toguchi and Shinoda Sensei’s knowledge and tutelage. His heart was larger than his personality, a great lesson for the rest of us. Soon after, Toshio Tamano Sensei arrived and began instructing in Boddie Sensei’s dojo. Tamano Sensei eventually opened his own branch of the Shoreikan in N.Y.C. and Robinson Sensei trained with both Boddie Sensei and Tamano Sensei for the next decade. Akira Kawakami Sensei also came and trained and instructed there until he moved to Oklahoma and opened his own dojo..

 While in New York, Robinson was introduced to the Zen priest (and Gojuryu master) Soken Sakiyama, also known as Osho-san. Osho-san was living a semi-monastic life, traveling and teaching Zen Buddhism (reminiscent of Bodhidharma). He was also a direct student of Grandmaster Miyagi Chojun, the founder of Gojuryu.  Osho-san trained with him for much of his life. He considered the kata, Sanchin, a dynamic, moving, meditation exercise of great value.  Robinson began his formal training in Zen with Osho-san and continued until Osho-san returned to Okinawa.

 While studying and training at the Uptown Dojo, Robinson Sensei also traveled to and trained in Okinawa and later traveled to China to further refine his knowledge and skill level.  On Robinson Sensei’s first trip to Okinawa, he stayed and trained for four years. The first year he trained exclusively with Toguchi Sensei at the Shoreikan in Naha City and received his Ni dan rank, and later (in NYC) his San dan rank, from Master Toguchi.  Robinson Sensei was able to locate Soken Sakiyama Sensei (Osho-san) in Okinawa and began his tutelage under the master once again. At this time, he trained with both Toguchi Sensei and with Osho-san.  In his small monastery, Osho-san taught him Zen, Goju-ryu-in the forms of Seiyunchin, Sanchin, Kururunfa, and Tensho kata, as well as the kata Hakutsuru (White Crane). As many of our readers know, there are several versions of the White Crane form. The version of Hakutsuru kata that Osho-san taught Robinson contained the elements of both Shuri-te and Naha-te.  This version was probably developed by Kanro Higashionna and Gokenki (Wu Xiangi or Wu Hsien Kuei).  

 As Osho-san was a Zen Priest, he did not award rank nor did he issue diplomas. Osho-san knew that Robinson would more than likely teach Gojuryu when he returned to the U.S. so he evaluated him on his knowledge and skill level and verbally stated that Robinson, at that time, was equivalent to a rank of Yon dan. On a subsequent visit to the U.S., Osho-san evaluated him and simply stated that he had reached the equivalent of Go dan.

 Upon learning the lineage of Master Eiichi Miyazato (direct student of Miyagi), Robinson Sensei sought him out in Okinawa and began training with Miyazato Sensei while also training full-time in both Zen and Gojuryu with Osho-san. On numerous occasions, he also took advantage of the opportunities to visit and train with Master Meitoku Yagi as well.

 It may surprise many of us that in Okinawa at that time, students were, on occasion, encouraged to train with other teachers to further their knowledge or refine their technique at the appropriate time. Protocol demanded that the student receive permission from their current sensei before learning from another at the same time. Robinson Sensei was fortunate to have teachers evolved enough to grant permission as well as to arrange personal introductions.

 To the advanced student of Gojuryu, it comes as no surprise that a serious practitioner of the art is inclined to search for the origins of his art. Most of us do not, however, actually physically retrace the steps of the development of our art back to China. This is, however, exactly what Robinson Sensei has done with his life. After a short three-month stay in China (during his first trip to Okinawa), he was determined to travel to and train in China. Robinson Sensei eventually received a student visa from the Chinese authorities to study Traditional Chinese Medicine at the Fuchow University of Internal Medicine. He was taught the internal arts of Tai Chi, Chi Kung and Pa Qua as well as acupuncture, traditional Chinese herbal remedies, medical massage, moxibustion and numerous types of healing Chi Kung exercises. Eventually, he traveled to the Fukien Province to seek out the gung-fu sifu he had been referred to by the chi gong teachers employed by the University Hospital. Due to the historical influence of White Crane chaun-fa on Gojuryu, Robinson Sensei long ago decided to seek out a Crane Boxing sifu. He did just that and studied Crane Boxing for the duration of his stay in China.

 During his years in China (and subsequent decades of study, research and practice), Robinson Sensei has learned, and is qualified to teach instructors, the following:

 Yang style Tai Chi

Chen style Tai Chi

Hou (small circle Chen style) style Tai Chi

Swimming Dragon chi kung

Happoren (White Crane) chi kung exercises

Eight Brocade chi kung

Tai Chi chi kung

The six healing sounds

Chi kung for arthritis

Sinew changes chi kung

Bone marrow washing chi kung

It is said that the classical man must master both the pen and the sword. To this end, Robinson Sensei has translated a number of books and martial arts texts from ancient Chinese into the English language. He embarked on this journey as a scholar over 25 years ago when he began translating an ancient Shaolin temple training manual called the Wupeichih (Bubishi). This was an epic undertaking and took more than 10 years of full-time research to complete. He completed this book long before any translations were published by more prolific authors and translators. In addition to the Bubishi, he has translated several books including the following:

 Lo Ho Ba Fa-8 ways and 6 methods boxing-the counter to Tai Chi boxing

Plum Blossom Post book

Iron Palm book

Fukienese Crane boxing

Crane boxing

Karate do Kempo by Kenwa Mabuni

 Robinson Sensei founded the Shoreiha Goju-ryu Research and Preservation Society in 1991 to preserve the teachings of Grand Master Miyagi Chojun, as well as to foster and preserve the practice of the internal arts in which Gojuryu is rooted.

 Robinson Sensei currently resides and teaches in New York City and travels throughout the country giving workshops and Master Class seminars in Okinawan Gojuryu to many established Sensei who have not had the opportunity to live and train in Okinawa.-
