In August 2009, Robert Corella, having refused multiple invitations and opportunities (for advancement) over several years along with his constant disregard for Seito Toyoda Soke's whishes and blatant disrespect of the Japanese Instructors, was up for disciplinary action.
His own students having petitioned, Japan agreed to allow Robert Corella's students and dojos to sever all ties from Kenshin Dojo becoming completely independent and answerable only to Japan Meirinkai. While pending further disciplinary action, Robert Corella chose to quit Japan Meirinkai in October 2009. Mr. Corella has since aligned himself with Hiyabuchi Soke in June 2010.
