Shibucho Carlos Morales Parsons
Background :
1987 | I was awarded my Black Belt under the direction of Sensei Enrique Pabón Pacheco, President Shorin-ji Kempo Ryu of Puerto Rico, and Isaiah Martínez (at the moment President of Kempo Karate of Puerto Rico). After a few months, I inaugurate my own Dojo in the city of Bayamón, Puerto Rico, under the Shorin-ji Kempo Ryu style. I publish a small magazine with the name "For You", where it emphasized the participation of the students in the different tournaments and in community activities. I participated in seminars with Sensei Bill ("Superfoot") Wallace. |
1988 | I join the International Martial Arts under the presidency of Sensei Gregory Milan. I join the United States Karate Association (U.S.K.A) of Sensei Robert Trias. I participate in courses and seminars of Arnis, Kali and Eskrima with Sensei P. Greg Alland. |

2000 | Master Paul Irizarry (Kenka-Kaikan Jitsu International)
visits our Dojo and offers seminars of great value to the students. In
the following years, I have taken seminars with local instructors like

Shorin Ryu Kokusai) and with foreign instructors, like Sensei Atsushi Muraoka
and his wife Kumi Muraoka of Shorinji Kempo San Mateo, now Chief Instructor

My school is recognized as the first in Puerto Rico under this organization (AKI). |
