Glenn Keeney
Glenn R. Keeney is an American martial artist.〔John Corcoran and Emil Farkas (1993) ''The Original Martial Arts Encyclopedia: Traditions, History, Pioneers''. Pro-Action Publishing, Los Angeles, 264, 268, 337, 392, 407 p.〕 He was born in Anderson, Indiana in 1942, and began his karate training in 1957.
==Early influences==
In 1957, finding no local martial arts schools for training, he hitchhiked 115 miles from Anderson to the nearest karate school (a Shōrin-ryū dojo) in Cincinnati, Ohio. He later found a school in Indianapolis, but the school closed the same year it opened.
Keeney began his study of Okinawan Goju Ryu in 1964, after meeting Larry Pickel in Anderson. Pickel, a black belt under Eiichi Miyazato had studied in Okinawa while in the US Marine corp. Keeney studied under Pickel until 1967 when Jerry Brown, Glenn Keeney and Larry Davenport, the top 3 students, were offered the opportunity to purchase the school. By 1969, Keeney had become the sole owner of Komakai Academy, which he ran until 2005. Brown and Davenport stayed on at the school for many years.
Bill Wallace, who would later become the Professional Karate Association World Middleweight Champion, was attending Ball State University at that time. Although he chose not to adopt the Goju Ryu system, Wallace and Keeney sparred several days a week and attended over 200 tournaments together over the next 5 years. Bill Wallace credits a lot of his sparring savvy to these early workouts with Glenn Keeney.〔Massad Ayoob, ''"The Dollar and sense of Pro Karate”'' Black Belt Magazine Apr 1975: 32.
