Can anyone recommend someone/school in the RI or CT area that teaches Shaolin Kempo style martial arts and that has an instructor that is a 6th Dan or higher? Thank you.

Why 6th degree or higher? are you looking for the adv. forms or combos? are you in the upper black belt yourself? You can go to the original instructor SGM Pesare, hes in RI. You will not get the SKK adv. stuff but you will learn a lot. Just do not get to carried away with rank. They may have a lot of material but do not understand the basics. Ranks are bought all the time and a low rank of Kempo can go and buy a high rank on the internet.

I agree with the last poster. Having a 6th dan isn't a relevant requirement for picking a school. There are 2nd and 3rd dans out there that are far better than many of the 6th dans.
Then there is the issue where you can buy 6th 7th and 8th dans over eBay and websites for around $50.

Primary Art and Ranking Shaolin Kempo, 4th Dan

I'm not a kempo guy but that may be why the need for a 6th Dan or higher
