We are thrilled to announce that Senpai Rientz Inglis has graciously accepted the invitation to step into the prestigious role of MOUKO KAI KARATE AUSTRALIA TECHNICAL DIRECTOR. This is a significant milestone for our organization, and we are confident that Rientz’s expertise, dedication, and leadership will help guide us to new heights.
The Role of Technical Director
The Technical Director plays a crucial role in preserving the integrity and authenticity of our karate system as we grow and evolve. This position ensures that the knowledge and traditions of the art are not only maintained but also passed on with precision and respect. Senpai Rientz will keep all of us—myself included—accountable, safeguarding the essence of MOUKO KAI KARATE and its lineage.
A Shared Journey of Growth and Learning
Rientz and I have had the privilege of training and traveling together on numerous occasions over the years. Together, we attended Kyokushin Karate Seminars in Sydney conducted by Hanshi Howard Lipman, 9th Dan Kyokushin Karate and a designated Branch Chief appointed by Sosai Masutatsu Oyama himself. These experiences have deepened our understanding of the art and strengthened our commitment to maintaining its highest standards.
Throughout this journey, Rientz has been a steadfast supporter and a valuable confidant. His knowledge and keen attention to detail have often filled in the gaps when my memory faltered, ensuring that our practices remain true to the expectations and teachings of Hanshi Lipman. His presence and insights have been instrumental in refining techniques and understanding kata, enabling us to uphold the traditions and principles that define Kyokushin Karate.
A Trusted Partner in Excellence
As a Sensei, I strive to mentor everyone who trains with me, offering guidance and fostering growth. Having someone like Rientz in my corner—someone with whom I can discuss the finer details of the art, exchange ideas, and solve complex challenges—is invaluable. His expertise not only enhances our technical execution but also strengthens the foundation of our dojo.
Rientz’s commitment to excellence and his willingness to engage in thoughtful dialogue about technique and performance align perfectly with our mission to honor and advance the legacy of Kyokushin Karate. His deep understanding of the art and his ability to articulate and share that knowledge make him an exceptional choice for this critical role.
A Grateful Acknowledgment
Thank you, Rientz, for accepting this important position. Your leadership and dedication will undoubtedly inspire and guide all of us as we continue to grow as martial artists and as a community. It is a true honor to have you as our Technical Director, and I look forward to the incredible contributions you will bring to MOUKO KAI KARATE AUSTRALIA.
Together, we will ensure that the art of MOUKO KAI KARATE remains vibrant, respected, and impactful for generations to come.
Osu!
