To Kancho Matsui,
 
Unfortunally, because a lot of misunderstanding and comprension from your side and Tokyo Headquaters, is this after almost fifty years, our letter of resignation from your organisation.
 
There are too many reasons to take this decision, however we will point out some important ones:
 
1) You are just ignoring us and have lack of respect to both of us among many other old students.
 
2) Because of your ineffective leadership, we have lost many countries and very good instructors.
 
3) It is not possible to direct and built an International Organisation in a dictatory way like you are prefering.
 
4) You are not longer following the way that Sosai Oyama told us, and again are ignoring his principles and his wish to register a democratic European Kyokushin Organisation, that he approved and blessed all this past years.
 
5) We are receiving complains all the time from many countries stating that we were having "a pending organisation" as always all the answers we receive are saying pending.
 
We could go on and on, with many other reasons, but we firmly believe that there is no way back.
 
We wish you all the best and maybe we meet once again.
 
Sincerely yours

Loek Hollander
Antonio Pinero
