Prof Larry Tiger Martin Founder of Shojukenpo system worldwide Rrespected Martial artist Legend.

This Traditional Japanese Ryu is a combination of 3 major styles (ryu) Sho-Shotokan, Ju- Aikijujitsu, and Kempo. Founded in 1980 by Soke Martin after winning the New England Middleweight title in Kickboxing. Soke Martin wanted to teach a more comprehensive style of martial arts so he and 5 of his Black Belt students put together Shojukempo Ryu. Teaching traditional Shotokan Karate-do and Okinawan Kempo as the foundation of Shojukempo, adding Combat Aikijujitsu as the finishing touch.

Sho Dai Soke Martin has trained with many well known Grandmasters in his time, men like Grandmaster William R. Gregory of the Kajukenpo Pai Lum System, Grandmaster Daniel K. Pai founder of the Pai Lum System, Grandmaster Nick Cerio of the Nick Cerio's Kenpo Jujitsu System, Grandmaster George Pasere of the Karazenpo Goshin Jitsu System, Grandmaster Ed Parker of American Kenpo, Grandmaster Kali K. Griffen of Kajukenpo Pai Lum, Maestro Guseppi Guaraldi of the JKA Italy Shotokan Karate-do, Shihan Earnest St. Laurent Sr. of Shotokan Karate-do, Shihan Lee Getty of the Kyokushinkai Karate-do, Master Richard Chun of Moo Duk Kwan Taekwondo, and Sensei Joe Fri of Goju-kan Karate-do. These Martial Art Masters were the force behind me to form the Shojukempo System. The founding members of Shojukempo are Sho dai Larry S. L. Martin 10th Dan., with 41 1/2 years of Martial Art training, Hanshi Robert M. Handley 9th Dan., with 41 years of Martial Arts training, Shihan Raheem Darden 8th Dan., with 37 years of Martial Arts training, Sijo Samadhaq Darden 9th Dan., with 39 1/2 years of Martial Arts training. Shihan Fernando Restrepo 8th Dan with 37 years of Martial Arts training. and Soke Martin's Son WakaShihan Jeramy E. Devlin - Martin 5th Dan with 15 years of Martial Art knowledge (started at the age of 2 yrs. old).

Now at the Rhode Island Shotokan Karate Honbu Dojo headquarters "Shojukempo International", Hanshi Martin teaches the different versions of kata to his Shojukempo students, to show respect to the men that have passed away, men like Grandmaster Ed Parker, Prof. Nick Cerio, Grandmaster William R. Gregory, Grandmaster Daniel K. Pai. He has taken 2 Kata from each of these men's systems to make Shojukempo a unique system of study.
