James Mitose, working out on the makiwara. Believed for the development of big knuckles and developing a hard punch or kick. The Grandmaster believed it was to take the evil in oneself and to punch it out. 

The 21st Honorable Great Grandmaster James M. Mitose, the head of all Kosho - Shorei Temples was loved and respected by all who knew him personally. He believed that for some reason, instructors were not teaching the Kenpo philosophy with Kenpo techniques, inept which has a very beautiful underlying philosophy is incomplete if not taught as a whole along with the physical aspects of the self-defense part of the system.
