Tributes to Legends of Authentic Martial Arts:
Days after the passing of Kokondo's founder, Shihan Paul Arel, Sensei Rego wrote an article in tribute to his sensei. This article is now available on our dojo website by clicking here: Shihan Arel: My Sensei, My Hero.
Two months before the passing of Shihan Arel, another legend in the martial arts world, Master Hidetaka Nishiyama of Shotokan Karate fame also passed away after a life devoted to the preservation of the art of karate. An article, written by one of his most senior students Avi Rokah is linked to here, with permission. It highlights the many qualities that made Nishiyama a martial artist that call can aspire too. Although written about Nishiyama, many of Shihan Arel's senior students will also be touched by the similiarities that Master Nishiyama and Master Arel share. You can read this powerful article here: Master Nishiyama.
Palm Coast, Florida's Newest Jujitsu Brown Belt:
 The Palm Coast dojo of the Florida Jukido Jujitsu Academies would like to congratulate the newest nikyu (brown belt II) in the art of Jukido Jujitsu, Artem Gordiyenko.
Artem is among the most committed students of both Jukido Jujitsu & Kokondo Karate at our dojo in Palm Coast. He attends all jujitsu, karate, and open dojo classes possible. His commitment was obvious as he was put through an extremely demanding rank evaluation that required him to successfully perform formal techniques, kata, self-defense, multiple attackers, and disarming techniques. Artem peformed with technically sound techniques and fantastic fighting spirit. The Palm Coast dojo membership is proud to welcome him into the Jukido Jujitsu brown belt ranks.
Artem will be attending his 3rd IKA Internatioannl Seminar in August. Congratulations on to Artem on his significant advancement from green belt to nikyu (brown II). |
Joe Duffy, a long time member of the IKA & personal friend of Shihan Arel, wrote an fantastic article detailing the life of our beloved founder - Shihan Paul Arel. This article was written for the South Windsor, CT Recreation Department. The South Windsor Recreation Department housed Shihan Arel's dojo for many years and is currently the location of Honbu's classes. It is a touching tribute from someone who was very special to Shihan Arel.
