Our deepest condolences on the passing of our brother and instructor Anthony Masucci. He was a man of honesty and Integrity and a sterling example of the true spirit of the art and science of Ogasawara ha Shorinjiryu Karatedo. His love of Karate-do was evident by his many years of service to the brothers and sisters of our fraternity. He will be greatly missed. Deepest sympathy and prayers to his wife Barbara and family members and to his many faithful students.

the pandemic made us separate from loved ones, confined us to a forced absence with painful losses without being able to do much. A year has passed since Sensei José Enrique left for his eternal rest. He was always a Warrior with a strong determination and a huge heart. God have him in his kingdom. Cesar Obeso

Sensei Cauley. I was glad to find your website. I was one of your students at Misawa AB, Japan in 1976. Tim Maron and I were students under your supervision. I have many fond memories of that tour of duty. It was my first assignment after enlistment, and finding your dojo helped me tremendously during my tenure there. Although I havenâ t been diligent with my training, I still go through my katas occasionally. I have lost much of my flexibility and canâ t kick very high, but I still enjoy going through the moves. I have pictures of our old dojo and my fellow classmates. Tim, Rick, and I hung pretty tight while at Misawa, and we helped with the Saturday Youth karate program on main base. I will never forget how you, my fellow classmates, and karate changed my attitude. I remember the words - Karatedo, I remember the green tea at your home, and the way you took an interest in our welfare. After I rotated back to the states in 1977, I was cross-trained into the loadmaster field and was stationed at Travis AFB, CA in the 75th MAS. I transferred to Altus AFB, OK in 1982 to instruct advanced loadmaster training. I worked the last 7 years of my military career as an AF SME evaluating civilian aircrew training programs. After retirement I went to nursing school, obtained my RN degree, eventually teaching and directing a nursing program here in Altus. I retired in 2019 to enjoy life. You may not remember me, but I remember you. You once said I was build like you. I made the statement that I wanted to be built like Tim, because he was thin and wirey, and very flexible. I apologize if that hurt your feelings. If it did, I apologize. Anyway, God bless. Doug Johnston USAF MSGT Retired. P.S. I once had contact with Tim but havenâ t heard from him in years. But I have seen several of his posts here, as well as, his email. So, I will try to contact him. My email is djohnston2003@sbcglobal.net. (580) 471-1500

Greetings to all my fellow Ogasawara-ha Sakugawa Koshiki Shorinji-Ryu Karatedo brothers and sisters! I feel it is important explain my lack of communication with my Sensei Tom Cauley and Mr. Anthony Masucci for these past few years. As well as my absence from attendance at tournaments, seminars and special training sessions. I have been a student of Shorinjiryu karatedo since 1974 when I was stationed at Misawa Air Base, Japan with the US Air Force. I have many fond memories of the austere training on "The Hill" at the Circuit Breaker dojo with sensei Cauley from 1974-76. My lack of activity and training with my student Dennis Holiday at his Rittman Ohio branch dojo and my lack of activity in the association has been due to a debilitating hip and leg condition causing intense pain and discomfort. I simply cannot do what I would like to do physically and it causes me great mental stress to face that fact. I am paying the price for 40 plus years of stressing my joints and ligaments. About three years ago I started experiencing pain in my right knee that prevents me from walking correctly, let alone being able to kick. After being very active for many years and teaching hundreds of students in several locations I have been forced to face the facts, I'm getting old! I realize many older karateka are able to continue their training, even on a limited basis, however I cannot. It is with much disappointment and regret that I can no longer be an active student/instructor. I want to extend my best regards to all my fellow Shorinjiryu brethren and wish you all a very pleasant Holiday Season. Please feel free to email me at: bkreiling50@neo.rr.com Osu- Bill Kreiling

It is wonderful that he is still teaching at 70 years old. I am grateful for his dedication and all the lives he has touched over 56 years of karate-do. JosephR@gmail.com

Hello to everyone "Happy Thanksgiving" Just a note to introduce myself and our dojo up in the Great White North; no, sorry to say, we don't all ride dog-sleds, though I wish we could! Was reading your website information and was comforted to read how our schools and traditions are similar; in many way! You see my karatedo lineage stems from the Hisataka Family (i.e. Shorinjiryu Kenkokan) and while we share the same Shorinjiryu name, we have many close similarities. And, if I'm not mistaking, parallel philosophies and psychologies; punching and kicking being merely the means to the end! Have a great day everyone, and if you are ever in the London area, look us up. "One in kokoru" Manny Hawthorne Sensei

I trained under Masucci Sensei years ago back when he had a school, I sure miss it a lot and miss the hard strict and traditional training we used to have.

I found this site while using a search engine. I was a member of Uehara's dojo in Naha, Okinawa during 1963 and met Mr Cauley at the Asian Games in Tokyo, Japan. I was Nidan but Mr Cauley beat me as if I were a child. He was considered probably the "fastest" karate-ka around back those days. I have learned, from those who know him, that at 67 years old, he hasn't changed at all. GOD Bless Wesley Brown

Hello Sensei Cauley, I was doing a search for T Cauley Sumi Karate Studio Hampton Virginia and I seem to have found my way your site. It appears to me that you are the same Tom Cauley. Congratulations on your induction to IKKF's San Ju Nen Kai. I was a student of yours at Dover AFB in the 1970's. I was the Hawaiian guy who trained at night in an open field ... that was until winter set in, then I met you at the base gym and joined your dojo. If you are not the same Sensei Cauley, then please accept my apologies for this intrusion If you are the same Sensei Cauley and wish to contact me, my email is keoki_lincoln@yahoo.com. In either event, congratulations on your induction to the IKKF San Ju Nen Kai. Best wishes to you and your family.

Mr. Cauley, I enjoyed our conversations about traditional Karatedo while we were attending the International Economic Development Council,Oklahoma University Development Institute, in Indianapolis, Indiana a couple of weeks ago. I thoroughly enjoyed getting some insight into Japanese style Karatedo. The UI/PUI (University of Indiana & Purdue University) co-campus was a fantastic venue.

Greetings Kyoshi Cauley! We are all grateful that your recent surgery was successful and that you are doing well. You have been in our thoughts and prayers. Once again I would like to convey our sincere gratitude to Mr. Anthony Masucci and Mr. Mark Louis for their support and participation Saturday November 1st, 2008 at our Second Annual Ogasawara-ha Sakugawa Koshiki Shorinjiryu Karatedo Youth Karate Shiai in Wadsworth, Ohio. There were 19 children competitors ages 6-15 in the following divisions kata, kumite, and (Kobudo Kata for brown belts only). Everyone displayed fine karatedo spirit and the event was a excellent example of how the brothers and sisters of Ogasawara-ha Sakugawa Koshiki Karatedo gather together to help and support each other for the benefit of all. The shiai was a great success and we all look forward to attending our National Shiai in the spring 2009 as well as our third Youth Karate Shiai here in Wadsworth in the fall.

Dear Juan, I saw your question on the Ogasawara-Ha Shorinji-Ryu Karatedo guest book and thought to write a suggestion. Since most of us do not have wet rice straw here in America I've long used Styrofoam! It world wonders, and there is no resulting skin or joint damage. It is useful for both closed and open hand strikes as well as for finger strikes. Be sure to only strike it until you are uncomfortable, not until you experience pain or are bleeding. There is no merit in hurting yourself, and apart from the time off for recovery now, you will pay in your later years for all you do while young. Best wishes, Laurence practicing since 1967...and still trying to get it right

Sensei, I was so happy to find this web site about Shorinji-Ryu. I attended a Kan Geiko Training Session with you at Shikanaka, Japan in 1974. It was one of the hardest things I have done. I remember "Hell Night" when we were awakened each hour to run and do kata for an hour and back to bed. What a night it was. I have fond memories of everyone who was there that year. The lessons learned with you in Japan and at our visits to Rokunohe Monastery and to the Honbu will last a lifetime. Thank you, Sensei Cauley, for the valuable lessons you imparted to a young and brash student of the Way. Radames Rosa
