PATRON GRANDMASTER MENKYO HANSHI NIMR HASSAN ( USA )

 Menkyo Hanshi Hassan began studying martial arts in 1957, in his hometown of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Since that time, he has studied many different disciplines such as Judo, Karate, Aikido, Jiujitsu, Boxing, and Kempo.

     In the early ‘70’s, Menkyo Hanshi Nimr Hassan sought out the Great Grand Master James Masayoshi Mitose, who is considered the Great Grand Master of all the Kosho Shorei Ryu Kempo systems in the world.

     Menkyo Hanshi Hassan was selected over other candidates to become the “ichi deshi” (disciple/only student) of the Great Grand Master and is the only non-family member taught the family’s Temple Dance/Escaping Art Pattern system. This system includes the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of the Koga Ha Kosho Shorei Ryu Kempo system.

     Menkyo Hanshi Hassan, an exponent of the martial arts when he met James Mitose, would journey to Mitose’s home day after day and train for hours in the backyard. Mitose taught Hassan the basics of Karate, which Mitose had learned from Choki Motobu, his maternal uncle, the great Okinawan Shorei Ryu Kempo Karate Master. Mitose taught Hassan Jiujitsu, which Mitose had learned from his Masters at the temple in Japan. More importantly, Mitose taught Hassan the “System”.

     In 1974, Menkyo Hanshi Hassan was issued a Master Instructor’s License and presented with the Mitose family crest by the Great Grand Master James Mitose. This honor bestowed upon Hassan allows him to teach the wondrous art of Koga Ha Kosho Shorei Ryu Kempo. Hassan has maintained the complete art taught to him and teaches it under the full title of Koga Ha Kosho Shorei Ryu Kempo. This title reflects all three arts designated on the family crest.

    That same year, Menkyo Hanshi Hassan opened a dojo under the guidance of the Great Grand Master Mitose and was given the charter and permission to promote, display, and use Kosho Shorei Ryu Coat of Arms. Menkyo Hanshi Hassan is the only surviving student in the Continental U.S. taught by Great Grand Master James M. Mitose. Also, he is the only Menkyo Hanshi who teaches the ancient and traditional Koga Ha Kosho Shorei Ryu Kempo’s Temple Dance/Escaping Art systems.

    Since 1974, Menkyo Hanshi Hassan has received many honors, awards, and promotions. The following lists some of those achievements:


     Menkyo Hanshi Hassan received his Master’s Degree in Human Services and is pursuing a Ph.D. in Sociology/Psychology.

     In July 2005 he will be recognized as and given the Living Legends award by the Hawaiian Martial Arts International Society.

    In 2004, he was inducted into the World Head of Sokeship Family Council Hall of Fame as the Grandmaster of the year.

     In 2003, he was inducted into the Hawaiian Martial Arts International Society Hall of Fame as the Grandmaster of the year.

     In 2002, he was inducted into the U.S. Martial Artists Association Hall of Fame as the Supreme Grandmaster of the year.

     Also, in 2002 the World Head of Family Sokeship International Council Hall of Fame recognized him as the Humanitarian of the year.

     In 2001, he was inducted as a member of the Pioneer and Legends International Martial Arts Society Hall of Fame.

     In 1993, he was ranked No. 1 in the Mid-Atlantic Division of the National Black Belt Association and No. 9 in the world at the National Black Belt Grand World Championships in New Orleans.

     Also, in 1993, Dr. William Durbin, Soke-Koyojute Ryu Kempo Bugei, and Ann Nooner, Habshi-Kiyojute Ryu Kempo Bugei, recognized him as the Menkyo Hanshi.

     In 1991, he ranked No. 1 in the Eastern Alliance Grand Championship, Executive Division.

     In 1986, he received the honorary rank of Shichi Dan (7th Degree Black Belt) from the Great Grand Master William K. S. Chow, head of the Kara Ho and United Kempo Jiujitsu Association. [Great Grand Master Chow was one of Great Grand Master Mitose’s students in 1948]. This rank was given to Menkyo Hanshi Hassan for his continuous efforts to preserve the ancient and traditional teachings of the Mitose family system.

     Among Menkyo Hanshi Hassan’s notable achievements he has also taken the “system” and implemented it with great success in three Philadelphia public school systems: Wilson Elementary, Wagner Middle School, and Martin Luther King High School.

     He completed an educational/behavioral research project with Thomas Jefferson Universities Hospital Department of Psychiatry, and the District of Philadelphia.

     He completed a five year research project with the University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate School of Education in Psychology (W.E.B. DeBbois Collective Research Center), Columbia University, and North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

     And he is certified by the institution of Certified Martial Artists under the auspices of the Department of Defense as a judge and referee for that institution and the National Black Belt League.

Grand Master  Robert L. Jones, Ph.D.

Sigung Robert Jones has over 36 years of martial arts experience and holds black belt certifications in three arts.  Professor Jones began his study of the martial arts in 1971. He studied the art of Jung Shin Do and was first promoted to Black Belt in that discipline in 1976.  He remains a personal disciple of the Grandmaster of that art Do Joo Nim Douglas Vess.  Since December of 2003, He has held a 7th Dan in Jung Shin Do awarded by Grandmaster Vess.  He also studied Hwa Rang Do under the personal tutelage of Supreme Grand Master Joo Bang Lee.  In 1982, Professor Jones met Senior Grandmaster Edmund K. Parker of American Kenpo and began to devote his life to the further study of that discipline. He was personally promoted to 1st and 2nd Degree Black Belt in American Kenpo by the  Senior Grandmaster.

Sigung Jones holds a Ph.D. in Political Science with a cognate area in Education earned through Northern Arizona University.  Dr. Jones is a professional educator who is on the faculty of three institutions of higher Education in the Las Vegas valley. He serves as adjunct faculty for the University of Nevada Las Vegas, Regis University, and the Community College of Southern Nevada. He has authored and co-authored several articles on American Kenpo and education. One article, "Psychological Levels of Learning and their Implications for American Kenpo," was published as his thesis for 2nd Degree Black Belt.  Among Sigung Jones many interests are the healing arts.  He is certified as a Diplomate in Oriental Medicine through the Tae Geuk Healing Arts Institute, and runs a branch campus of that Institute.    

Sigung Jones is the founder of the I.K.K.S. or the International Kenpo Karate Society which is the governing body for Wu Shen Pai Kenpo internationally.  The I.K.K.S. has affiliates throughout the world.  Professor Jones has developed a series of written manuals and video training aids designed to lead the members of his Association toward ever higher levels of proficiency in Kenpo.

Professor Jones has pioneered the development of a healing arts curriculum in Kenpo teaching his Black Belt students the traditional healing arts of bone setting, herbal medicines, acupressure, and acupuncture.  In addition, Professor Jones is a pioneer in the development of an advanced systematic integrated curriculum studying pressure point and cavity press theory through the techniques of modern Wu Shen Pai Kenpo.  Professor Jones remains active in teaching, researching, writing about, and developing his system of Kenpo and the healing arts applications associated with it.
