CBBA 50th Anniversary Questionnaire
2020 marks the 50th year since the founding of the CBBA. We are very honored and excited to be celebrating this landmark. As part of our annual conference we hope to be presenting a look back at 50 years. But we need your help. We are asking all to submit any memories in the form of pictures, short video clips, memories, testimonies etc you are willing to share of the CBBA. It doesn’t have to be just Koinonia, it could include seminars you have attended, guest CBBA instructors you’ve hosted , or just good mementos accumulated over the past 50 years. Any submissions you have should be sent to Fran Pultro at 50CBBA@gmail.com as soon as possible. We would appreciate it if you would take a moment to complete a brief questionnaire regarding your experiences with the CBBA and Soke Clement Riedner.

Koinonia is the annual national conference of the Christian Black Belt Association and Shiho Karano Kai International. It has become a gathering place for martial artists and their families from across the country since its humble beginnings in May of 1990 at Ciotti Manor in Herman, Pennsylvania. The Christian Black Belt Association was founded in 1970 to provide mentoring, support, and training to assist Christian instructors in ministry. The Shiho Karano Kai International was founded in 1982 to meet the need of those martial artists seeking fellowship and training but who did not wish to be a part of the CBBA. Attendees are able to participate in eight (8) seminars during the weekend.
Koinonia also includes daily worship led by Conference Pastor, Fran Pultro from King’s Highway Calvary Chapel as well as activities for the non-martial artist in the family including a Ladies Tea for wives, mothers and daughters of martial artists. Participants have their choice of accommodations from lodge to cabin style housing. The food is terrific and the training atmosphere is uplifting and inspiring. Koinonia 2020 will be held the weekend of September 11-13, 2020 at Rhodes Grove Camp and Conference Center in Chambersburg, PA. A brochure complete with registration information is coming soon. General questions may be directed to: Noah Pultro, Conference Director 5550 Hulmeville Rd. Bensalem, PA 19020 Phone: (267) 973-0951 napultro@gmail.com ![]()
