< Back Brad Cosby - Kudan (9th Dan) Senate Advisor Sensei Brad started his karate career in Grimbsy, Ontario in 1967 under the instruction of Sensei Shintani. As a blue belt he began travelling with Sensei Shintani helping to teach at new clubs in Welland, ON, Niagara Falls, ON, Brock, ON, Port Dover, ON and Simcoe, ON. In 1972 Sensei Brad was graded to Shodan. At the age of 17, he was the youngest person to be graded to a black belt rank by Sensei Shintani. After taking a couple years off to raise a family, Sensei Brad returned to the Grimsby Beach Community Centre where he taught along side Sensei Brian Chmay. They continued to train and instruct at this location until 2007, when after more than 25 years, the dojo closed its doors. Sensei Brad now trains at area clubs, including the St. Catherine's club with Sensei Neil Prime. He also has a gym in his family garage where he continues to develop techniques using the principles Sensei Shintani taught him. Sensei Brad was awarded the Kudan (9th Dan) from the SWKKF senate in December 2020. "When I travel to different clubs, I am truly amazed at the precision, speed, and spirit which with the karateka, especially the blackbelts, are able to perform the technique and kata. I am honored to perform both beside and across from the men and women who make up the SWKKF. Sensei Shintani would be very pleased." - Sensei Brad Cosby For a more detailed biography of Sensei Brad Cosby, as well as some personal stories of his training with Sensei Shintani please read the article in the July 2008 Harmonizer.

< Back Kris Reynolds - Rokudan (6th Dan) Director Sensei Kris Reynolds started karate in Lindsay, Ontario in 1996 under Sensei Darren Marshall (a student of Hanshi Rick Levielle). He was graded to Shodan in 2001, and received his Rokudan (6th Dan) in 2025. Sensei Reynolds also holds a Rokudan in Shindo, and a Yodan from the World Traditional Karate Association. As a blue belt, he met his wife Sarah, with whom he has raised 2 sons in Lindsay, Ontario (Thomas & Ryker), the eldest of which shares Kris’s interest Karate. Sarah has supported him pursuing his passion for karate for over 25 years. In 2004 Sensei Reynolds competed alongside Sensei Sanford Dewitt at the World Koshiki Championships (a bare knuckle full contact karate competition), which was part of the 2004 Summer Olympics, where he won a bronze medal for team Canada in the heavyweight category. From 2006 to 2012 he was the manager, and in 2012 became the Heavyweight fighter for the Shintani National Karate Team. In 2005, Sensei Reynolds took over as chief instructor of the Lindsay Wado Kai dojo where he had started karate 10 years earlier. In 2014, he started Karate Kawartha Lakes, a non-profit association which in 2018 included 6 dojos between the Kawartha's and Ottawa. Kris has assisted on many national committees including as chair of the Bunkai committee and chair of the Shindo committee for the Shintani Wado Kai Karate Federation. In 2015 Sensei Reynolds created Gensho Shodan no Shindo, a Shindo kata which has been adopted by the S.W.K.K.F. as the official 5th dan Shindo grading kata. Sensei Reynolds is enormously grateful for the significant positive impact that the SWKKF and many of the original senate members had on his life and hopes he can pay that impact forward to the young karate-ka he meets. kreynolds@shintani.ca +1 (705) 928-3400
