Professor Kimo and Kohno, Sensei in NY

I had a great opportunity last weekend (1/19-1/20) to go see Professor Kimo at Professor Tom Ingargiola’s school on Long Island. I had the good fortune of having ‘KenpoJoe’ Rebelo accompany me for the very long ride. I was able to meet Tatsuji the K-1 fighter who was in town to train with Professor Kimo and Professor I. The seminar was great – it’s not often you get to learn from a student of Wang Shu Jin, and Professor Kimo was great as always. Much of the most fun was ‘around’ the seminar – meeting Keith Tubman and Kim Kleiman of Valley Shore Martial Arts, exploring the ideas through a variety of martial arts with Professor Kimo back at the hotel, delving deep into the various facets of kempo with Joe Rebelo.
