KIDO RYU in Trinidad for Spring Break!
My Course Offerings for this visit are varied.
First, I work with students ages 3 yrs and up.
I also accept students of all challenges and skill levels.
I do not discriminate against color, race, religion or past exprerience.
I also do not give honorary ranks. All of my students are trained by me personally.
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.
Regarding "Morning Tai Chi"...this offering will begin with #18 Set of Chi Kung we do daily,
each exercise drill will be displayed, and broken down at presentation, these are moving energy exercises. next
we will present the Forms and Postures of Morning Tai Chi, their use and applications, concepts
such as Solid, Empty, Walking Drills, Fan Style #1, Sword Forms #1 & #7, Push Hands
Drills
(stationary & moving) (single & double hand drills)

Director/Chief Instructor
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.

Francis and Professor Ruben Torres have worked together for years to build a network of continuing education for the martial
artists in the Caribbean.
