Shihan Paul Arel

For 35 years, Master Paul Arel made the South Windsor Recreation Department the home base of his internationalmartial arts association (IKA). For over three decades, he taught his Kokondo style jujitsu (Jukido) and Karate to legions of youngsters and adults. Whole families often signed on! This incomparable gentleman passed away January 2, 2009. Though in the vast empire of his students he was formally saluted as "Shihan" or "teacher-of-teachers," Sensei (teacher) was the name he loved best. Sensei Arel did honor to the martial arts craft and graced his students with uncanny kinetic ability and encyclopedic knowledge. Arel had actually won a prize for unbalancing a muzzled circus bear! Mr. Arel's pioneering legacy remains an amalgam of martial arts excellence and strength of personal character. This work will now be carried on by Kaicho Greg Howard who is Shihan Arel’s chosen successor.
