Sensei Brian Ricci was born on August 14, 1950 in Everett, Massachusetts just six miles from downtown Boston. His first interest in the martial arts was a result of watching movies. At that time no one knew much about karate but he knew that he wanted to learn the techniques that he was seeing on film.

Brian Ricci’s karate training started in 1965 with Peter Ventresca. He received his black belt in 1972. At twenty-two years old he decided he wanted to learn the martial arts in more in depth and was accepted as a student by Dr. Richard Kim. Eventually, after many years, Brian Ricci became the assistant instructor to Dr. Kim.

In the year 2000 Dr. Richard Kim awarded his long time student, Brian Ricci, a seventh degree black belt. That is the highest rank ever awarded and the only time that rank was ever awarded by Dr. Kim.

After Sensei Richard Kim’s death Sensei Brian Ricci has continued his teacher’s work in passing on the martial arts to the next generation of martial arts students.

The majority of members in Sensei Richard Kim’s organization, The Zen Bei Butoku-Kai International, are now training with him.
