“Hanshi Dr. Patrick Makgabenyana, my
greatest Sensei of all time. He never missed
training and most of all he exposed us to
various external, local and international,

We learned how to meditate as well as

“Now that I am gown up, I know that
temperance and constancy are my guiding
principles in life and as in the teachings of
Survival Zen Meditation, “in the beginner's
mind, there are many possibilities, but in the
expert's there are a few!” I know that people
who know the state of emptiness will always
be able to dissolve their problems by
constancy. Each day, I honor my obligations
to meditate and continue to train and
practice the Oikado Way!” Osu! Lameck

who grades you?” topsoil
He looked at me with that non-chalant and
expressionless face before he answered.

In January 2014, during our regular weekly
meetings, hanshi asked me how far do you
want to go with your martial arts. I was caught
off guard. I answered honestly. I want to
complete the circle. I new I had completed
the minimum 7 years-in-grade at 6th Dan. He
said to me get ready and cover ground
quickly as I must prepare you for the next

“ He would leave you exhausted from
repeated practice in the application of
techniques and when the session ends
humorously remark that those with body
pains or fatigue can look forward to good
massages from their female partners.”
“ He only smiled and laughed after
training.”
“ His commitment to a total approach in the
management of the martial artist led him to
devote more of his additional time to
counsel us on the importance of diet,
minimal weight lifting and meditation to
achieve better results in our pursuit of
excellence.”
“He exhibits everything about the Way in his

5. THE ADVENT OF OIKADO IN BOTSWANA
1980: Hanshi whilst at University of
Swaziland, Kwaluzeni campus, met with one
Thabo Twala sensei, a Sandan in both

grandmasters in Manzini in particular to
Grandmaster Kanei Uchiba who specialized
in Oikado.

Durban who in turn introduced hanshi and
Twala sensei to Grandmaster Dr. Louis H.

World Sokeship Council. Grandmaster Dr.
Fried continued the education of hanshi in
their system and graded him 6th Dan in 1987
and conferred him the title of Kyoshi Patrick

development and having graded and
graduated many students, Hanshi now
concentrates on writing martial arts
monograms and books. Hanshi has written
several books under the theme The Martial
Arts Legacy: 12 Volumes.
“In the ways of our Way the seeker of the
truth is unbounded in mind and heart, he
goes beyond the fact of illusions and
content of his own ignorance for he does not
seek with the persuasions of his ego and
mind, but of the heart and spirit. The
incredible wonder and brilliance that which
is there can only be comprehended in
pureness and emptiness of the mind and
spirit…” Hanshi Dr. Makgabenyana, The

Rewind 1989: “ Hanshi did not confine
instruction to the dojo. Learning went on
everywhere all the time you were with him.
One day in 1989 after training, Motshegetsi
sensei and I were escorting him out of campus.
He lodged in extension 14. He gave us money
to buy him something from the university
tuckshop. We were gone for less than two
minutes and when we returned he was
nowhere to be found. We knew it was a lesson
and a challenge. We were running around all
the possible routes he could have taken but
failed to locate him. We took our search off-
campus, hoping to overtake him and even went
all the way to his house, more than a kilometer
away but did not find him. We gave up, but had
learned our lesson as young black belts. We
never talked about it but for me, it was a lesson
on “evasion” a survival technique.” Shihan
“Hanshi identified the True Spirit of
Martial Arts, and nurtured it earlier on in
learning. This is an attribute that we
should crave for. It is through Hanshi'
meticulous attention to this detail that a
lot of us who thought martial arts was all
about being rough and macho were first
taught to be submissive. I would dare say
in the late eighties weeding off misuse of
our techniques had the severest of
punishment. Such was a necessary
teaching. It also dawns in me that a lot of
techniques of Oikado were not taught to
people who would get into trouble with
the techniques later in life”.
Shihan Dr. Patrick Masokwane
“Hanshi has an innate mechanism of
ensuring that all his children engaged each
other. It is interesting that today "any student
of OIKADO has something to learn from
other students of OIKADO". In other words
Hanshi deposited a huge Martial Arts
knowledge base on all of us”. Dintle
“The key perspective that Hanshi put forth in
us is emphasizing transcendental and
translational martial arts, some perception
that does not lead to the artist being left at
one dimension of Martial Arts”. Maburu
“It is amazing even after months of no
conversation he would address the student’s
worries including the latest concerns”.

RE: CERIFICATES OF APPRCIATION & GOODWILL MESSAGE
It is my pleasure albeit belated to extend our Goodwill message on the occasion of the 1st
Memorial Tournament run in
honor and memory of the late Shihan Alpheus Mbuzeni Sabela. I must be quick to note we did extend our wish and this
Goodwill message when responding to a Facebook message and invitation. We are happy to note too that the event
went successfully.
This letter also addresses an extension of our appreciation and association with IKO SA through the late Shihan and
lately with the current chairman, Shihan Khanyisani Maziboku. Our relationship with Kyokushinkaikan SA dates back
to 1970s between the late Shihan and Hanshi Dr. Patrick Solomzi Makgabenyana. Through this Oikado students are
required to go for internship regularly as covered by letters we exchanged. In my time and leadership several of us have
come more than twice for internship. The latest having been in March 2014 and the earliest were in 1997 and 1998.
It is through this relationship that on behalf of Hanshi Dr. Patrick Solomzi Makgabenyana, the entire Oikado
membership and League of Elders, the National Executive Council, the Technical Board and Regional Chiefs Forum,
that I feel honored and privileged to present Certificates of Appreciation to the late Shihan Alpheus Mbuzeni Sabela
(RIP) and to the current chairman, Shihan Khanyisani Maziboku.
By this presentation we also can inform your membership, and indeed your esteemed self, that Hanshi and I have
dedicated about three chapters to the 2nd
Edition of “The Beginnings of Martial Arts Botswana” (Book 1) and “The
Exponentiation of Martial Arts Botswana” (Book 2) in memory and remembrance of the late Shihan.

OIKADO BEGINNINGS : HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
1939:- SHIDOSHI YAMADA TOHEI AND
SHIDOSHI KIMURA TODANA MET AT
KYODO,OSAKA AND DISCUSSED THE
POSSIBILITY OF INTRODUCING A SYSTEM OF
MARTIAL ARTS THAT WOULD BE
TRANSCEDENTAL IN TECHNIQUE,CHARACTER
AND SPIRITUALITY.SHIDOSHI YAMADA
SPECIALISED IN THE YAMAGUCHI CLAN
FAMILY STYLE OF NINJUTSU AND TODANA IN
THE OIKEN-KATO HOTO-JITSU,WHICH
SPECIALISED IN WEAPONRY AND ZEN SYSTEM
PHILOSOPHY.
YAMADA TOHEI WAS THE DIRECT
DESCENDANT OF THE FOUNDER OF THE
CLOSED SECRET CLAN OF THE TOHEI CHIJITSU
SHOREI YAMADA- ONE OF THE GREATEST
CLANDESTINE ORGANISATIONS OF THE BLACK
NINJAS OF THE MOUNTAINS OF THE
YAMAGUCHI.
SHIDOSHI KIMURA TODANA WAS THE LAST OF
THE DESCENDANTS OF THE GRANDMASTERS
OF THE SAMURAI CLAN OF THE EUNEYISHI.THE
TWO SHIDOSHI BEGAN RECRUITING THE
VARIOUS SYSTEMS OF THE OUCANA KOBU-
JITSU AND THE KUNG FU OF THE NORTHERN
SHAOLIN THROUGH THE MONK TE-MO CHUNG.
IT IS THROUGH THE COMBINATION OF THEIR
BEST TECHNIQUES THAT THE BASIC CONCEPT
OF THE COMMON FACETS OF STYLES
EMERGED UNDER THE FOLLOWING PRICIPLES.
1. THE STANDARD OBJECT TO IMPART AND
IMPORT MARTIAL ARTS IS MAN.
2. ALL MARTIAL ARTS ARE A CREATION OF
COMMON DENOMINATIONS OF FIST, KICK,
BLOCK AND STANCE AND THEIR
SUBDIVISIONS.
3. ALL MARTIAL ARTS ARE THE FALCRUM
FROM THESE PRINCIPLES EMERGED THE
CONCEPT OF “THE UNIFYING FIST OF THE WAY
OF THE TECHNIQUES”, OIKIRU RYU KARATE
JITSU DO[ OIKADO ].
SENSEI KOHEMI TASHIMATA OF THE SCHOOL OF KIJU
ENJOINED THE “UNIFYING FIST” AND INTRODUCED
THE FUNDAMENTAL ASPECT OF THE TECHNIQUES OF
NINJITSU BO-KU JITSU, THE ART OF THE INVINCIBLE
WARRIOR THUS TRANSFORMING THE SYSTEM INTO
ONE OF THE FORMIDABLE SYSTEM THAT WHICH IS
TRANSCEDENTAL IN NATURE, FUNCTION AND
STRUCTURE.
1. JUIJITSU 2. KUNG FU 3. NINJUTSU JUITSU.
1940:- THE BREAKAWAY SENSEI OF THE SHOTOKAN,
O’SENSEI SHIMUZI HAYAMATA JOINED THE CLAN
AND INTRODUCED THE ASSIMILATION OF THE
KYOHAN WAY FOLLOWED BY THE ENJOINING OF THE
DARK TEMPLE TEACHER SIFU SHI-HI JONG SU WHO
KEPT THE SECRETS OF THE IRON FIST SYSTEM.
IT IS IN 1942,DURING THE WAR SHIDOSHI DR.LOIUS
H.FRIED MET WITH SENSEI SANA KANO, THE
RELATIVE OF THE FOUNDER OF JUDO(DR JIGARO
KANO).IN THE ARMY OPERATION THAT THESE
INTRODUCED TO THE SYSTEM OF THE UNIFYING FIST,
SINGLE FIST STYLE AND THE INTRODUCTION LED TO
THE MEETING OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS IN THE
1945.
THE COUNCIL MEMBERS CONSISTED OF TADANA,
YAMADA, HAYAMATA, SU AND THE LATER
MEMBERSHIP OF O’SENSEI HITORI KAMATA OF THE
TRADITIONAL TANG SOO DO SYSTEM.OUT OF THIS
MEETING DR.LOIUS H.FRIED AND KUSUSI KOTE WERE
TRAINED FOR SIX YEARS AND LATER WERE
COMMISSIONED TO ESTABLISH THE UNIQUE CLAN IN
THE WEST WHOSE PURPOSE WAS TO PROPAGATE
1954:- THE UNIFYING FIST WAS INTRODUCED
IN THE USA AND LATER IN THE BAHAMAS,
TAIWAN, THE UK. THIS INTRODUCTION IN THE
WEST AND TO THE REST OF THE WORLD WAS
WITH STRICT REQUIREMENTS THAT ITS
TEACHINGS BE BASED ON THE KNOWLEDGE,
COMPETENCY OF THE TREE UNIFORM
SYSTEMS OF THE TRADITIONAL ARTS OF
KUNG FU, KARATE AND NINJUITSU.THEREON,
THE SYSTEM SPREAD UNDER THE OATHED
PRINCIPLE OF THE YAMAGUCHI-NINJUITSU
WHICH ESPOUSED THAT
1. SILENCE AND SECRECY IS THE STRENGTH
OF FORTITUDE
2. ONLY THE CONCERNED AND SELECTED
SHOULD BE TAUGHT THE INTRINSIC ASPECT
OF THE UNIFYING FISTS
3. THE TEAC HINGS SHOULD B E
TRANSCEDENTAL IN THE WHOLE CONTEXT.
IN THE YEAR 1960:- THE INTERNATIONAL
SOCIETY OF MARTIAL ARTISTS WAS
FORMULATED IN THE RHIKYU ISLANDS AND
THE OVERALL DECISION WAS BASED ON THE
WESTERN/EASTERN DIVIDE WITH THE MAIN
HEAD OFFICE SITUATE IN OSAKA,JAPAN AND
THE SECOND SUBSIDIARY OFFICE IN
FLORIDA,USA HEADED BY GRANDMASTER DR
LOIUS H. FIED WHO IS NOW THE O”SENSEI

SUBSEQUENT TO THESE IS THE ENJOINEMENT
OF GRANDMASTER DR.LOU ANGEL, 10TH DAN,
UNDER THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE SOKO
COUNCIL OF JAPAN, IN WHICH DR FRIED WAS
THE FOUNDING MEMBER AND SECRETARY-
GENERAL TO IT.
IN ESSENCE THE SOKO COUNCIL WAS THE

The Oikado Way
Martial arts is a science. The reason
styles are called Ryu, schools. To that
end black belt Dan levels are equated to
academic qualifications. Guidelines
observed.
Oikadoka kohai who are in secondary
schools, college, university and working
must start a culture of martial arts
discourse. Dojo and sensei must
encourage and develop and enforce in
their students. Most sensei and dojo are
embrace The Oikado Way as early as in
the kyu ranks, certainly mandatory for
black belts cadre. It is going to be
difficult if not impossible for Oikado to
yield cadre into Godan and above, yet
we have capacity and indeed educated
Yudansha. Oikado recognizes academic
achievements and requires Yudansha to
have their academic qualifications
commensurate with their rank status.
Oikado Sandan, 3rd Dan Black belt: it
marks ascendency into black belt of
instructorship status. Full status of
It comes with huge responsibility. A
researcher, writer and above all together
with Shidan and Godan they are
technical custodians. They carry and
personify the Technical Gold Standard
of Oikado. Their assessment is very
strict. To that end their visibility in
terms of participation by having a dojo,
hosting and running Gashuku, seminars,
boot camps are important. Participating
in and encouraging martial discourse,
debates, discussions and posting on
Oikado and general martial arts
important milestones. In the ways of our
Way the seeker of the truth is unbounded in
mind and heart, he goes beyond the fact of
illusions and content of his own

The Path to Kyoshi Phase; at this stage he
had demonstrated requisites of a true
disciple and potential master. Once this was
ascertained he was conferred title of Kyoshi
by Hanshi Dr. Patrick Makgabenyana,
8th Dan in 2014. It could be anytime from
5th
– 9th
Dan Black Belt. At this level you have
permission to search for more knowledge of
techniques, theories independently and to
innovate, incorporate, adjust under honor of
your mentor and the school and that of your
own.
The master’s path began in 2004 when he
was graded Godan and inducted into Menko
Kaiden phase. Kyoshi Moses Kgosibodiba is
credited with keeping the Oikado Flame
Alive and Burning. Given the resource
constraints many would not have walked the
path as mandated.
Indeed he has brought in a number of
innovations and important milestones in re-
organizing the house of Oikado Martial Arts
School. In his presidency, administrative
and technical leadership we have seen
ascendance into The 2nd Dimension of
Oikado

where possible 5. Rank recognition
6. Membership registration
7. Attend courses in refereeing and judging
8. Friendship and brotherhood in budo.
