The entire Kindred Martial Arts family mourns the loss of O'Sensei Phil Porter, founder of the United States Martial Arts Association. O'Sensei Porter was a pioneer in the martial arts and is due considerable credit with making the United States a leader in the worldwide martial arts community; he will be greatly missed.
