Hi,
I'm looking for any info on this style, I believe the American main man is Fred Abshere (spelling?) in New Mexico?

Any players out there? Any info on Fred? Anybody know anything about this style??

The main pattern is "Animals and Elements".

Thanks in advance.

I think the style is called Kojusho, and i think the main dude is in Albuquerque, New Mexico. My old boss was like a 3rd degree black belt in it. Unfortunately i dont have any other info on that, but i'm sure i could find out some stuff if that doesn't help.

I know they have several katas based off animals, but i'm not sure about the elements though. I really didnt get to see too much of it.

Peace :D

Albuquerque is the the place. My exposure was years ago, I'm looking to see what has become of it, it would be great to find a link or even a practitioner.

Its an odd art. What I know is rather soft, much like a soft chinese art, but it has some Japanese traditions. Animals and Elements seems to be a Chinese principle, but did it cross the ocean?
