My Sensei for 8 years! Glad to have met him! Received my Sho Dan in 1.5 years from him! Unheard of! Usually it took 3-4 years! Was a student at Hackensack and Tenafly dojo! Received my Ni Dan 2 years later! Again very rare! But I was a student that went to the dojo in the morning at 11am and took evening classes on the same day! Studied 8 times a week! For new students? What I’ve learned from him before he died! Circles motions and staying square is the utmost importance! Lead with hips! No Gaps in your motions!!!! Thank you Sensei for all the knowledge and being humble! Btw, I was the only Brown belt that was ever invited to the Thursday night gatherings after class! Usually it was only for black belts! I have many videos of Sensei Kimura teaching in Hackensack and Tenafly! A gift from the heavens! Hello to Alex, Orlando, Carl, Mike and Martha Moles, and of course Mo! I’m sure I’m forgetting a few others! That were inspiring! Oss

If you actually learn what he's trying to teach here, no one else will ever touch you karate-wise, thats a fact.
