KIDO RYU INTERNATIONAL
My Course Offerings for the Summer Camp are varied.
I work with students ages 3 yrs+
I also accept students of all challenges and skill levels.
I do not discriminate against color, race, religion or past exprerience.
I do not give honorary ranks. All of my students must train.
The first
KIDO RYU International Dojo Charter
was issued to Falcon Martial Arts Academy/ Sensei Vincent Nero.
I have chosen him to represent me in Trinidad for the purpose of spreading KIDO RYU throughout the country
of Trinidad & Tobago
We have been in close communication since October 2004.
Sensei Nero and his son, have just recently (Feb. 2009)returned from a visit to New York to continue
their training in KIDO RYU.
Please make contact with
Sensei Nero at:322-3810 or 493-5706
to let us know if you are receptive at this time to my visit, and also don't forget to give him
the dates and times you would like to have me come and visit your Dojo, Kwoon, Program, home, etc. I will try to accommodate
everyone with enough notice.
I will cover subjects in Hapkido/Tae kwon do such as KIDO
Flexibility Sets
(floor stretches, Bar Stretches, Moving Stretches, and Partner Stretches),
Chambering the hands and legs, Pivoting, Postures and Stance
work, Internal Breathing Patterns of KIDO, Conditioning drills, the Original
KIDO 13 Self Defense Techniques, Bow staff and Escrima Forms.
In Northern Shaolin Kung Fu, I will cover and present the Iron
Shirt, Yi Jin Jing, Damo's Static Postures, the Stance
Work and Combination Drills of the Shaolin Temple that I trained in.
In Aiki Skills, I will present the
KIDO Set of Rolls & Falls, 7 Judo Throws, Reaps, Sweeps, Come-a-longs, and Course
#1 The combination of the Rolls & Falls, Throws, Locks, and strikes as used for Self Defense purposes.
I will also offer my KIDO Course called "Control without Excessive Force".
A course developed in the Dojo and proposed by me for use to the
Police Department of
Puerto Rico in 2007.
My next Course Offering is called: Interchangeable Technique & Transitional
Footwork...a course I developed for in the Dojo use. It is intended to nurture the cooperation of the partners through
synchronicity of the breath, movements, and applications. Training the students in a safe and cooperative manner.
This allows the students to become more knowledgeable of the self through working with partners to develope their skills together.
If I know me, I know you. This course ends with a "Show and Tell" time with the partners. This allows the students
to combine the training with the art they are already studying and leads to self expression.

KIDO RYU International
...a martial arts organization,
Our mission statement:
Through martial science we aim
to assist the communities we serve by implementing positive programs for the re-enforcement of healthy habits in our
youth and adults. We are truely concerned with "Self-Defense". The protection of one's self and their loved ones.
This implies a concern into how martial arts is being presented. It is our aim to develope good and compassionite members
of our society and to share Martial knowledge to all receptive to its expression. RT
Since 1970 we have been serving the Brooklyn community.
We have always supported community based artist that nurture the community
they live in. These days our community has grown to unimaginable proportions. Thanks to the receptivity of the local instructors we have met around the world, at competitions, seminars, cross-trainings,
hall of fame events, etc. we have been able to enjoy sharing our expression and also we have had the pleasure to enjoy other
expressions on our travels. We have so much in common.
Regardless of what is said when someone inquires
about classes,
I always hear the main theme:
"I want to improve the quality of my life"
or the life of a loved one.
Record of Completion
In the past we have worked successfully with the
Ministry of Education as well as with the Ministry of Sports & Youth
Affairs ( in Trinidad) to bring in talented Master level Teachers of the Martial Arts to teach martial arts to the youth
of Trinidad & Tobago. Through our work with the Black Hawks Martial Arts Network over the years we have been instrumental
in upgrading the level of competency of the athletes' of this country to successfully compete on the international stage.
Grand Master Christopher Francis and Professor
Ruben Torres have worked together for years to build a network of continuing education for the martial artists in the Caribbean.
These days the KIDO RYU are moving
forward to develope their own students in the Caribbean.
The Black Hawks Martial Arts Network under the guidance of Professor
Francis have teamed up with Master Kevin Hufford/Dragon Fire Dojo(upstate new York) and have successfully
promoted their Pan-Caribbean International Martial Arts Championships every year for the past 5 years.
The KIDO RYU will be supportive of their events
which is in line with our past support of the Black Hawks Martial Arts Network/Organization.
