Mastering Shotokan Karate 10 DVD Set with Kenneth Funakoshi
Kenneth Funakoshi was born on September 4, 1938, in Honolulu, Hawaii. Yoshio, Gichin Funakoshi’s third cousin, trained Karate with him in Okinawa from 1915 until 1925.
Kenneth Funakoshi began studying Judo at the Fort Gakuen Japanese Language School when he was ten years old. He studied Kempo at the Palama Settlement under Adriano Emperado while attending college at the University of Hawaii. Emperado had studied under William Chow. Masayoshi James Mitose, who popularized Kenpo Karate (or Kempo Jiu Jitsu) in Hawaii, was a disciple of Chow.
From 1956 to 1959, Funakoshi trained with Emperado.
Funakoshi began training in Shotokan Karate in 1960, under Hirokazu Kanazawa, who had been brought to Hawaii by the Japan Karate Association. Kanazawa was followed three years later by Masataka Mori, who was followed three years later by Tetsuhiko Asai. Funakoshi was appointed as the Karate Association of Hawaii’s main teacher.
Funakoshi was a teacher in Hawaii until 1986, when he relocated to California. He founded the Funakoshi Shotokan Karate Association, which has a hombu dojo in Milpitas, California, and members all around the world.
