The International Kojosho Karate Federation is a globally recognized organization dedicated to preserving the teachings of past masters and providing worldwide certification to its members. Under the leadership of Mr. Fred Absher since 1966, the IKKF promotes traditional values and teaching methods through its local Albuquerque schools, offering students a lifetime of study, reflection, and growth in the time-honored martial art of Kojosho Kempo Karate.
With roots tracing back to 3rd century China, Kojosho Kempo Karate incorporates a series of exercises based on five animal movements developed by the physician Hua T'o. Embracing the inseparable bond between martial application and artistic expression, the philosophy of Kojosho emphasizes the transformation of the soul into both warrior and artist. Through extensive training in fluid Animal Element Postures, 2-person and 3-person animal sets, traditional kata, and tournament preparation, the teachings of Kojosho provide a comprehensive martial arts experience.
