Biography
THE POWER OF ATEMI BY KIM YUSHIDO FROM JAPAN SOKE GRANDMASTERS IRVING SOTO

The art of Atemi was developed in Asia more than 400 Years ago, along with the science of acupuncture. The Chinese practiced the art of dim mak, or death touch. In Japan the touch of death is called Atemi. Atemi focuses on striking one of the 365 points in the central nervous system. It was valued as a treasure of the masters for many centuries. The art is so deep and complex that it requires a mastery of human physiology. To this day, scientists cannot understand why a single strike to the central nervous system can kill a man.

Ancient Tradition

By tradition, practitioners were not allowed to teach Atemi only a highly skilled master within the family could teach the art of Atemi. The bushido code required that a warrior must learn enlightenment and the five principles of earth, water, fire, wind, and void and that a warrior also acquire the five skills of accuracy, timing, ki or chi (internal energy), mind control, and instinct in order to become a proficient warrior.


As Atemi continued to develop through the centuries, the Chinese divided the art into 81 points; each point was based on one of the five elements or principles. Atemi continued to be tested for thousands of years in remote regions of China. As the Chinese and Japanese cultures continued to evolve and intermingle, the art of Atemi was passed to Japan. Soon the mystical science of mind was added to Atemi and its power went to a new level. Stories began to circulate around Asia about wise masters who could kill a person without touching him; this was Atemi at its highest level.

Other Systems

Atemi became extremely popular during the 15th century. At the same time, ninjitsu began to flourish and grew throughout Japan for the next four centuries. In the 16th century wing Chun was developed by a Buddhist nun. Both wing chun and ninjitsu incorporated Atemi into their systems, While other systems attempted to include elements of Atemi to increase and augment their techniques' potency in judo,

for example there are three major division. The third and final division is known as atemi-waza, ate waza, or simply Atemi. Jigoro Kano made atemi-waza, or vital point striking techniques, an important part of judo after learning them from gichin funakoshi; atem-waza is so deadly that it is not allowed in judo competition, and is taught only to high-ranking belts. Other examples of systems that use Atemi are Tatsu Tanaka,s modernized from of jujitsu calledgoshin-jutsu part of the modernization included an emphasis on atemi-waza.Yet another form of jujitsu known as Hakko -Ryu Atemi strikes and touches based on the principles of koho shiatsu kempo, too, emphasizes various methods of striking the anatomical vital points; However, very few people gained a complete understanding of Atemi, the true Atemi master went underground, becoming even more stringent and selective about the students with whom they shared their knowledge. By the 1940s, the complete art of Atemi was known only by one master, Grandmaster Koshimitsu Yamamoto, who had been taught by Soke SokakuTakeda. Grandmaster koshimitsu yamoamoto selected ten ninth-degree black belt out of 200 student to whom he would teach the Aiki jujitsu Atemi waza art.


Only one of those ten students was non- Japanese, an American named grandmaster Irving Soto who had been raised by Chinese in New York’s. This gave him an insight into Asian culture and intensive martial arts studies was possessed by very few non-Asians. Grandmaster Irving Soto tenth degree black belt/cover red belt, When Yamamoto died, he left Grandmaster Irving Soto as head of the international bushido federation, the first non-Japanese, to head the organization.

Grandmaster Irving Soto opened the first dojo in New York to make this wish a reality. Soto named his system Atemi Aiki jujitsu which stands for the life force, also known as chi  or ki flow, that everyone possesses, ki flow is not only vital to physical health and generating power, it also permeates and enhances all facets of life, especially spirituality. The "do" stands for the way that an individual chooses to walk in life following in the footsteps of the masters such as Jigro Kano, Morihei Ueshiba, and Gogan yamamgucchi,


Grandmaster Soto broke from tradition and brought the most secret and powerful art from Asia to the west.

Grandmaster Soto, 56 years in the martial arts, which emphasizes the principles of honor, respect, and discipline, and because the Aiki jujitsu Atemi art Soto constantly reminds his students that power and humility are interlocking forces that balances each other.

  Brief history:

Atemi Aiki jujitsu

The Power of Atemi by Taisho Grandmaster Irving Soto, Kim Yoshiro from Japan

Atemi was developed in Asia thousands of years ago. In China it became known as dim mak, (death touch) while the Japanese, called it Atemi jujitsu, a system of strikes and painful joint holds aimed at one of the central nervous system's 365 "pressure points." Paradoxically many of these points are also used in the healing art of acupuncture, which began its development at about the same time.

For many years it remained exclusively in China but as Chinese and Japanese cultures intermingled, the art migrated to Japan. The early masters spent many hours researching human anatomy in their quest for Atemi perfection. They toiled over anatomical charts and experimented on prisoners of war and criminals. They immersed themselves totally in this learning, committing to memory their secret knowledge, refining it as they progressed and keeping the secrets of Atemi within the confines of their immediate families or clans.

During the 15th century, the samurai warriors began to assimilate Atemi strikes into their systems of battlefield unarmed combat - the martial arts. Atemi strikes gave them several advantages: Atemi strikes require no flamboyant stances, no flashy movement, they are direct and decisive. The samurai could employ a fatal blow quickly to end a life threatening confrontation or a use a quick disabling strike that would render the opponent helpless but alive for interrogation. - Minimum power, little effort and maximum effect.

Various modern jujitsu, karate and ninjitsu systems employ Atemi strikes however; very few people have a complete understanding of the original art. The true masters were very selective about the students with whom they shared this knowledge.

Today's Atemi masters number in tens rather than hundreds. It's said that in their prime, the old masters could administer an Atemi strike without touching the body, a channeling of focused chi at one of the victim's vulnerable pressure points was enough. In some instances once struck, the victim felt nothing and then fell down dead several days later. Such is the stuff of legend...or is it?

There are a limited number of pressure point Atemi specialists who claim to possess this skill and many others who have witnessed their 'untouched' knockouts. It may be truth, myth or an assault on our imaginations. One thing is certain though, in the hands of a skilful practitioner
, Atemi strikes can paralyzed, maim or kill.

The art of Atemi was developed in Asia more than 400 Years ago, along with the science of acupuncture. The Chinese practiced the art of dim mak, or death touch. In Japan the touch of death is called Atemi. Atemi focuses on striking one of the 365 points in the central nervous system. It was valued as a treasure of the masters for many centuries. The art is so deep and complex that it requires a mastery of human physiology. To this day, scientists cannot understand why a single strike to the central nervous system can kill a man.

Ancient Tradition

By tradition, practitioners were not allowed to teach Atemi only a highly skilled master within the family could teach the art of Atemi. The bushido code required that a warrior must learn enlightenment and the five principles of earth, water, fire, wind, and void and that a warrior also acquire the five skills of accuracy, timing, ki or chi (internal energy), mind control, and instinct in order to become a proficient warrior.


As Atemi continued to develop through the centuries, the Chinese divided the art into 81 points; each point was based on one of the five elements or principles. Atemi continued to be tested for thousands of years in remote regions of China. As the Chinese and Japanese cultures continued to evolve and intermingle, the art of Atemi was passed to Japan. Soon the mystical science of mind was added to Atemi and its power went to a new level. Stories began to circulate around Asia about wise masters who could kill a person without touching him; this was Atemi at its highest level.

Other Systems

Atemi became extremely popular during the 15th century. At the same time, ninjitsu began to flourish and grew throughout Japan for the next four centuries. In the 16th century wing Chun was developed by a Buddhist nun. Both wing chun and ninjitsu incorporated Atemi into their systems, While other systems attempted to include elements of Atemi to increase and augment their techniques' potency in judo,

for example there are three major division. The third and final division is known as atemi-waza, ate waza, or simply Atemi. Jigoro Kano made atemi-waza, or vital point striking techniques, an important part of judo after learning them from gichin funakoshi; atem-waza is so deadly that it is not allowed in judo competition, and is taught only to high-ranking belts. Other examples of systems that use Atemi are Tatsu Tanaka,s modernized from of jujitsu calledgoshin-jutsu part of the modernization included an emphasis on atemi-waza.Yet another form of jujitsu known as Hakko -Ryu Atemi strikes and touches based on the principles of koho shiatsu kempo, too, emphasizes various methods of striking the anatomical vital points; However, very few people gained a complete understanding of Atemi, the true Atemi master went underground, becoming even more stringent and selective about the students with whom they shared their knowledge. By the 1940s, the complete art of Atemi was known only by one master, Grandmaster Koshimitsu Yamamoto, who had been taught by Soke SokakuTakeda. Grandmaster koshimitsu yamoamoto selected ten ninth-degree black belt out of 200 student to whom he would teach the Aiki jujitsu Atemi waza art.


Only one of those ten students was non- Japanese, an American named grandmaster Irving Soto who had been raised by Chinese in New York’s. This gave him an insight into Asian culture and intensive martial arts studies was possessed by very few non-Asians. Grandmaster Irving Soto tenth degree black belt/cover red belt, When Yamamoto died, he left Grandmaster Irving Soto as head of the international bushido federation, the first non-Japanese, to head the organization.

Grandmaster Irving Soto opened the first dojo in New York to make this wish a reality. Soto named his system Atemi Aiki jujitsu which stands for the life force, also known as chi  or ki flow, that everyone possesses, ki flow is not only vital to physical health and generating power, it also permeates and enhances all facets of life, especially spirituality. The "do" stands for the way that an individual chooses to walk in life following in the footsteps of the masters such as Jigro Kano, Morihei Ueshiba, and Gogan yamamgucchi,


Grandmaster Soto broke from tradition and brought the most secret and powerful art from Asia to the west.

Grandmaster Soto, 57 years in the martial arts, which emphasizes the principles of honor, respect, and discipline, and because the Aiki jujitsu Atemi art Soto constantly reminds his students that power and humility are interlocking forces that balances each other.

This is the official website
for legendary broadcast legend Joe Franklin.

Joe Franklin is an American
radio and television personality who is credited with hosting the first
television talk show. The show began in 1951 on WJZ-TV and moved to WOR-TV from
1962 to 1993.

Known as "the king of nostalgia", Franklin's highly-rated
television and radio shows, especially a cult favorite to cable television
viewers and his long-running "Memory Lane" radio programs, focused on old-time
show-business personalities.



Franklin has an
encyclopedic knowledge of the music, musicians and singers, the Broadway stage
shows, the films and entertainment stars of the first half of the 20th Century, 
and is an acknowledged authority on silent film.

He began his
entertainment career at 16 as a record picker for Martin Block's popular "Make
Believe Ballroom" radio program.

Among Franklin's own idols, as he
frequently told viewers, were Al Jolson, whom he literally "followed around" as
a teenager in New York, and Eddie Cantor, who eventually began buying jokes from
the young Franklin and whose Carnegie Hall show Franklin later produced.


Franklin would delight his audience with trivia about the most obscure
entertainers from past generations and equally unknown up-and-comers from the
present. His guests ranged from novelty performers like Tiny Tim, and Morris
Katz to popular entertainers like Bill Cosby and Captain Lou Albano to legends
like Bing Crosby, Charlie Chaplin, John Wayne, Marilyn Monroe, Cary Grant, John
Lennon and Yoko Ono, but also frequently included (sometimes on the same panel)
unknown local New York punk bands, self-published authors, "tribute"
impersonator lounge singers, and the like, giving the show a surreal atmosphere
that was part of its appeal.

Many of today's well known talents such as
Woody Allen, Barbra Streisand and Julia Roberts got their first television
exposure on The Joe Franklin Show. Others, notoriously shy of live interviews,
made frequent appearances on Franklin's programs: Frank Sinatra, for instance,
appeared four times.

Joe's Franklin's lovable and funny persona even
prompted comedian Billy Crystal to imitate him on NBC's "Saturday Night Live"
for four years.

In addition to his TV Talk Show, Joe appeared regularly
with Conan O'Brien. He's also seen on "The David Letterman Show," "Live With
Regis And Kathy Lee," and has been mentioned several times on the hit cartoon
series "The Simpsons."

Joe played himself in the
films "Manhattan," "Ghostbusters," "Twenty Ninth Street," "Broadway Danny Rose,"
and has been featured in The New York Times, Newsday, The Wall Street Journal,
The New York Post, and The Village Voice. He was recently honored by The Museum
Of Television and Radio. 

We recently created a
special Joe Franklin Show YouTube channel
and are currently in
the process of uploading many of the hundreds of thousands of interviews Joe
Franklin has conducted. Enjoy!

Joe Franklin's Classic Interviews and
videos from "Joe Franklin Remembers ..." are also available on BLIP.TV.

King entered the boxing world after convincing Muhammad Ali to box in a charity exhibition for a local hospital in Cleveland with the help of singer Lloyd Price. Early on he formed a partnership with a local promoter named Don Elbaum, who already had a stable of fighters in Cleveland and years of experience in boxing. In 1974, King negotiated to promote a heavyweight championship fight between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman in Zaire, popularly known as "The Rumble in the Jungle".[4] The fight between Ali and Foreman was a much-anticipated event. King's rivals all sought to promote the bout, but King was able to secure the then-record $10 million purse through an arrangement with the Zaire government

Grandmaster “Chief” Adrian Roman
The Chief has worked on the hit television series “Walker, Texas Ranger”. He is a songwriter and new author. His new book "The Apprentice Warrior" is  about practical self-defense has just been released. He is currently authoring a suspense novel about the discrepancy and injustices within the Choctaw Nation to be published in the near future.  Today, the Chief lives in Dallas, TX and offers personal instruction in   Falammichi-Native Kenpo (advanced self-defense) and American Kenpo (Ed Parker System). Red Warrior/Tushkahoma, Master knife Defense and Apprentice Warrior System (practical self-defense),began studying Martial Arts with Grandmaster Adrian Roman, ‘Chief,’ as he is known throughout the Martial Arts world, nine years ago. Chief is a full-blood Choctaw. He was born in 1942 in an Indian hospital in Talihina, Oklahoma. In 1957 the Bureau of Indian affairs  relocated his family to Dallas. 

Chief was an athlete while growing up and went into martial arts as a young man, studying under masters in the field becoming a 9th degree Kenpo instructor as well as Grandmaster of Tushka-homma, a fighting art he developed to honor his native people. He is in several halls of fame for martial artists.

For 35 years Chief’s teaching has been an embodiment of the Choctaw word ‘falammichi” a word often translated as ‘defending’ but it means far more than that.

‘Falammichi’ also means repaying, restoring, refunding, renewing.  The same word means one who practices falammichi. Chief teaches how to take someone’s aggressive grasp or punch and take control, repaying him for his aggression but only in order to return things to their proper place

I know all you readers are in a rush to read. Before I word-out my questions for Angelo. I need you to take off your Rose Colored Glasses, because we know the lies and he knows the truth.

A seventh-degree black belt and New York State kickboxing champion, Angelo has practiced martial arts since the age of 3. As a trainer, he is known for his ability to return any body to its natural metabolic state and sculpt it into perfect form through strength, resistance and cardio training.  studying nutrition and physical education in Italy, he devised the Angelo Sorrenti Integral Advanced Manipulation program (AS I AM). While he is quick to point out that he is not a doctor—"I don't have a Ph.D. in pathology," Angelo says—AS I AM is fast becoming the program du jour of the city's body-conscious fashionistas.(www.angelosorrenti.com)
