Professor Feliciano (Kimo) Ferreira started his studies in the early 1970s in the art of Kempo-Jutsu , Aikijutsu (lst Dan), Escrima, Espada-y-Daga, Doce Manos, and Karazempo. He received his 5th Dan in Kempo from Walter Godin, one of William Chow’s top students. He is one of the most respected martial artists in the United States today. The classes he teaches are innovative and stimulating. During this seminar, he will share ideas and concepts through the practical applications of Kempo Jutsu techniques. The history of Kempo will be covered as well.

Practicing martial arts since the 1930s with his father, Choki Motobu,Chosei Motobu Sensei is the inheritor of Motobu-Ryu (his father’s art) and Motobu-Ryu Udunde (his uncle Choyu Motobu's art via Uehara).

“It was truly amazing to see Chosei Motobu, a Sensei 80 years old, defend against an attacker more than half his age. Fearing that I would insult him with a slower punch, I opted to attack him with full power and speed. His block was fast and effective and left my arm numb from the forearm down to my fingers. We are very humbled that we were only the third dojo to date that Motobu Sensei has ever visited in the USA.”
