Tensho Goju Demonstrations and Self Defense Workshop Kick Off

Tensho Goju is kicking off with a bang in 2010, with Self Defense Workshops and Demonstrations making news headlines. Felder has been blessed to be a blessing in sharing his talent with the Lawton and Fort Sill Community, along with his assistant Luis Lopez Colon, which began training at the Tensho Goju academy in late January. It is truly a unique period in having two Grandmaster's of Goju with same rank working side by side with the same focus. Hanshi Lopez is a Chaplain for the US Army. Since his arrival at the Tensho Goju Headquarters he has assisted Hanshi Felder with the Self Defense Workshop at Cameron University and the Total Self Defense Workshop at Fort Sill. God is good!
