This recognition is presented to those who have contributed to preserving and developing Karate and Kobudo locally as well as internationally.
The Awards Began in 1993 to mark the 100th year anniversary of the establishment of the Ryukyu Shimpo. This year was the 125th anniversary.
They now present the award once every five years and to date, just 30 people (Including this years' winners) have been presented with one.
The 2018 awards were presented to:
平良慶孝先生 (Taira Yoshitaka Sensei) of Matsubayashi Ryu.
八木明達先生 (Yagi Meitatsu Sensei) of Goju Ryu.
久場良男先生 (Kuba Yoshio Sensei) of Goju Ryu.
佐久川政信先生 (Sakugawa Masanobu Sensei) of Shorinji Ryu.
池宮城 政明先生 (Ikemiyagi Masaaki Sensei) of Goju Ryu.
They are of course featured on the front of the Ryukyu Shinpo today (The 20th October):
What a wonderful recognition for some of the most influential karate Sensei of the current generation.
Ryukyu Shimpo company president Taiyama Taishama said, "The winners have overcome various difficulties, contributed to the promotion and development of karate and old martial arts with a leaders role, I hope that they will continue to be active and encourage further progress in the future".
