I was born in Bronx in 1954, 1956 my mother moved to Brooklyn, New York at the age of 2 years old. One of my first professors that I trained with a Japanese man called Tashioshi, he taught in jujitsu. I received my first-degree black belt at the age of 11-year-old. Through Tashioshi I went to Japan I fought the internationals of 16years old. I became the open champion. Tashioshi moved away in the early 1970’s, I continued my thirst for martial arts science knowledge of jujitsu.

I continued to further my instructions with a group of masters from the neighborhoods of Brooklyn New York City. In 1973 I was invited by the Japanese association to compete in the open kumite championship in Japan upon winning the championship 1973. I was invited to the humble dojo of koshimitsu Yamamoto and to compete in the open kumite after winning kumite championship. I was asked to be under the guidance of Yamamoto to further my instructions in the advance technique atemi aiki-jujitsu. I continued to further my instruction by traveling back and forth from Japan and USA. In 1990 I receive my 10th degree black belt in Atemi -Aiki jujitsu Upon my teacher death I was awarded full sokeship to continue the work. I won the kumite for 8 years and for 8- times from 1973,1974,1975,1976,1977,1978,1979,1980. World kumite champion.

I would like to pay my special thanks to some of the masters who took out time teach me the martial arts science of jiu -ju-jitsu,

Immortal man
Who must endeavor
Through his students
Will live forever
Teaching the way
Atemi Ki Do
The art of enlightenment
As we grow old
Attaining a balance
Between yin and yang
Energy and harmony
That we must understand
Ki our life force
The strength from within
Joint manipulation
The way the joints bend
Learning so much
From our Professor
An immortal man
Who will live forever
