Kiyoshi Shiina (椎名潔, Shīna Kiyoshi) (born 1939) is a Judo instructor who has taught in the United States of America for over 50 years. His students include Olympic competitors Joe Wanag and Teimoc Johnston-Ono.

Early Life

Kiyoshi Shiina was born in 1939 in Tokyo, Japan. He was promoted to 1st dan at the age of 14.[2] He was the 1955 mid-Japan all high school champion for judo.[2] Shiina studied commerce at Nihon University, Tokyo, graduating in 1959.[2][3] He was co-captain of the university judo team with Ryohei Kanokogi and was recognized for 'Best Fighting Spirit' at the 1956 Big 3 University Championship and 'Best Technique' in the 1958 Big 4 University Championships.[2][4] Between March 1962 and July 1963 Shiina taught judo at his own dojo in Tochigi Prefecture and at Nihon University.[5]Shiina has been described as being one of the most technically skilled Judoka in Japan.[6]

Judo career in the United States

Shiina moved to the United States in the early 1960s to teach judo professionally and settled in the New York area.[7] He was subject to visa proceedings but granted leave to stay in the US as judo instruction was deemed to be beneficial to the American population.[5] By age 26, he was already recognized by the magazine Black Belt, as well as having already achieved a 5th degree black belt. He was said to have been able to "score full points against practically anyone using every conceivable judo technique" [8] He was sent as a young champion to New York City to teach Judo to Americans. [9] He would serve as a referee, for the First Eastern College Judo Championship. [9] At this tournament he would serve as the referee in the black belt division. [10] He would later serve as the Chairman for the Northeast Judo Championship. [11] Additionally, he served as instructors at the Jerome Mackey Judo Schools.[12] Later he would open two schools, one in Brooklyn, NY and the other in Stamford Connecticut known as Japan, Judo, Inc. [13] While many Judo players tried to specialize, he was a proponent of learning all possible techniques. [14]During one of Shiina's travels, a newspaper The Oswegonian in 1968 stated that Shiina was well known far and wide within Judo circles and "He has contributed much to the sport, and will probably be the best player you will get a chance to see." [15]

Coaching

He under US Olympic Judo Coach Yoshisada Yonezuka served as the Vice President of Nihon University Juyukai an influential splinter group of American Judo.[16] as well as the board of examiners for Hudson Judo Yudanshakai [17] a subsection of the United States Judo Federation.[18] Shiina teaches a judo class at St. John's University.[19] Shiina has taught judo at the school for at least 25 years.[20] He was a big proponent of groundfighting.[21] His position as coach and sensei at St. John's University [22] would cause many top competitors would go to St. John's to randori.[23] He taught other clubs including the Stamford Judo Club, prior to be being succeeded by Chris Angle in 1999.[3] It was at the Stamford Judo Club that according to the NY Times he trained future olympian Joe Wanag.[24] According to the Hartford Courant, one of his students Joe Wanag became a US Olympic team member under Shiina's direction.[25] He later would teach Teimoc Johnston who also was a US Olympian. He has trained a number of champions including New York City Collegiate Champion, 4th Degree black belt, and Trinidad and Tobago Olympic committee member Mark Anthony Littrean.[20][26] This teaching helped to solidify Judo's establishment in that nation. He was recognized by the New York Daily News for teaching a blind woman to become a national champion. [27] He is currently a technical advisor for the The World Koshiki Karatedo Federation (WKKF)[28] He has taught the Judo Kata (which is a requirement to get a blackbelt) known as Nage-no-kata at a clinic in New York.[29] He is listed under the United States Judo Federation's High Dan Directory as a Hachidan.[30]He was recognized along with Rusty Kanokogi as a master of Judo within New York City.[31]

He served as best man in the wedding of former Japanese Judo Olympic Coach Ryohei Kanokogi and Rusty Kanokogi.[32] Rusty is credited as the person who established women's Olympic Judo and helped to get it established as an Olympic sport. He was the owner and operator of Japan Judo Karate, Inc in Brooklyn, New York.[33]HE helped in the establishment of Shorinjiryu[34][35]
