Soke-Dai Michael Orsini
Michael Orsini started his martial arts life at the age of nine with Soke Eugene Coutu. At 15 ½ years old, Michael successfully tested for his adult Black Belt. He was the first in his system to reach that milestone before the age of 16.
In addition to training under Soke Coutu, Michael has also spent time training in the arts of Tai Jitsu and Aiki-Jitsu with Soke John Rubiano as well as Kumi-Uchi Ju-Jutsu with Hachidan David Lindsay. He also has spent some time with Tom Sotis, founder of AMOK!. Michael has a vast array of knowledge in many different forms of fighting and is consistently expanding his horizons by actively seeking out new things to add to his repertoire.
In 2009, Soke-Dai Michael Orsini took over Kenpo Kobudo Karate and is persistent on keeping the traditions and ideals of Kenpo Kobudo Karate intact.
