NKSR and CBBA

  Nippon Shiho Karano Ryu

Nippon ​Shiho Karano Ryu® is founded by Soke Clement Riedner who began his training in the martial arts in Tokyo, Japan in May of 1962. Nippon Shiho Karano Ryu ®, (sometimes referred to simply as "Shiho Karano" or abbreviated "NSKR"), has since evolved into four distinct divisions or Ryu-Wa: Karate-do Ryu Wa, Jujitsu Ryu Wa, Kenpo Jitsu Ryu Wa, and Kobudo Ryu Wa. 

In April of 2000 Soke Clement Riedner passed the inheritance of Nippon Shiho Karano Ryu ® to his sons, Andrew and Matthew Riedner. Currently, all training in Nippon Shiho Karano Ryu ® is handled by Nidai Soke Matthew Riedner.

   THE CHRISTIAN BLACK BELT ASSOCIATION 

Although it is not the largest Christian Martial Arts organization in the US, the CBBA is one of the oldest founded by Dr. Clement G. Riedner in 1970. The CBBA was established by Dr. Riedner as a means to reach martial artists for Christ as well as provide fellowship for other Christian martial artists across various denominations. As the association has grown throughout the years to over 60 clubs nationwide, its structure has continued to change in an effort to adapt to the needs of its members and the martial arts community. Yet through all the changes the basic concepts of service and ministry have remained its cornerstones. First, however, in order to understand what is meant by a Christian association we must first agree on a definition of what is a Christian. According to the CBBA Statement of Faith we believe that in order to be a Christian one must: 

a) Admit their sin and acknowledge the need for salvation 

b) Accept Christ as the slain and resurrected Son of God and the only means of the Holy Spirit 

c) Experience change brought about by that salvation and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit
