A student of Okinawan Masters Maehara, Seijiro and Odo, Seikichi, he was the founder of Hawaii Okinawa Kenpo Karate-Do, a retired Vietnam Era Marine, Department of Defense National Park Ranger, and trainer of champions

His life was honored at the Mililani Memorial Park & Mortuary Mauka Chapel and he was and was finally laid to rest at the Veteran's Memorial Cemetery of Kaneohe, Hawaii on August 8th, 2010.   Lt. Commander Efland Amersen, Master Chief Garland Zoppy, Major Jerome Newton, Savili Bartley, and Serge Clark were among his successful black belt instructors that flew in from the U.S. mainland to attend the service.

Sensei Bunch was Marcus DeValentino's primary teacher from 1983-1994.  For offerings to his family, contact Hawaii Okinawa Kenpo Karate. 

  The respected Professor George Iversen poses with his teacher
the legendary Grand Master Adriano Emperado of KAJUKENBO
that originated in Hawaii. 

Iversen, himself a living legend is still Marcus DeValentino's martial arts mentor, former teacher and major influence on free fighting.  Marcus owes his Kama aina Ikaika Loa Hawaiian lineage or brotherly acceptance into the Hawaiian culture and house of warriors to Prof. Iversen.

 

     
 
It is said that Puerto Ricans are good fighters.  My friend Ramon Valle is no exception to the rule.  In my humble opinion and, first hand experience with sifu Valle in the ring, I profess him to be an exceptional Chinese Goju expert and teacher, and most definitely among the worlds deadliest warriors.
