You yell
"foul" about some badge that you want to
make others believe you have exclusive rights to.
I am sure that
there are those who believe that anything written on
the Internet is "gospel truth", not
realizing that your slander and lies only cheapen the
martial arts.
The MKA crest
('Sanshinmon') has been in use in
Okinawa since at least the 17th Century. Nobody can
claim ownership to it.
But the badge
was registered as the MKA
crest in 1958. Years before
anyone in the U.S.A ever tried to claim it for his
own use.
Of
course you know that it is registered because you
have seen the title framed and hanging at Kongoryu-ji
... and because one of you framed it
!
