Calasanz with Tameyoshi Sakamoto
You Tuber:
Truth be known, Calasanz/Shadowind quit the practice of goju at a green belt level, when he figured he didn’t need to learn any more. He still falsely claims to have a black belt in goju. Too bad his ego exceeds his learning capacity. This is not goju, it is calasanz bullshitziu.
Response:
Let’s get a few things straight before we go on any further. When you speak to “Shadowind,” you are speaking to a variety of staff members who work for Calasanz. He is too busy teaching and running a successful school. As far as your assessment of his credentials, you are extremely incorrect regarding his rank. If he were such a “bullshitziu” practitioner as you so disrespectfully call him, his teacher, Tameyoshi Sakamoto, father of Goju Ryu in the Dominican Republic, would have turned his back on him a long time ago.
Note: In a seminar in October 2009 at the Calasanz Dojo in Norwalk, CT, Tameyoshi Sakamoto awarded Calasanz a 5th degree in Goju Ryu Karate.
