Kempojujutsu
Master Black Belt
I don't want to take anything away from Mitose, or Chow and how Kempo got to America. But the founder of Okinawan Kempo, Shigeru Nakamura had several students who could of developed it here in the U.S. Seiyu Oyata, Seikichi Odo. Shigeru Nakamura's Uncle Teiichi Nakamura also emigrated to United States. He was one of Shigeru teachers. Shigeru Nakamura was probaly one of the first to use the word Okinawan Kempo. But this may have developed much earlier with Motobu Ryu. Most of this infomation is from the book Okinawan Karate by Mark Bishop. One small note there is nothing about Mitose or Chow in this book. Makes me wonder.:asian:
