We all have heard before "we are all standing on the shoulders of those who came before us".

Kenkojuku in the US has a rich history from the early adopters who practiced karate-do decades ago when there was not a dojo on every corner.

We honor their journey by continuing to practice and pass along Kenkojuku to generations that follow

With great sadness

Upon returning to America, he trained under Takashi Akusawa Sensei into the 1970's and later taught karate in Miami, Florida. He lived in Miami, Florida USA.
