In Memory of Mas Oyama

The AKKO with conjunction with other Kyokushin Organizations Ratified that
no one will receive a 10th degree Blackbelt rank in the AKKO. Sosai Mas Oyama died,
he was a 10th degree Black Belt. Out of respect to Sosai Mas Oyama, no living
Kyokushin Black Belts will ever wear more than a 9th degree Black Belt.
