Soke Moose Cates

Master Moose Cates (Soke)

Moose Cates is an artist in every sense of the word.

Being the product of larger than life parents with a life bent on not being average, Moose has developed qualities that have served him well in the development of his art.

He can't remember life without the martial arts, and throughout his life Master Moose has become increasingly aware of what it has meant to learn from "The Professor," as he so warmly refers to his dad.

He has a deep respect for the bokan and for the balance, footwork, and body control learned through working to master this incredible weapon.

Also an accomplished visual and graphic artist, Master Moose, will be offering Neko-ryu related prints and posters available from the Neko-ryu store, as well as a series of hand painted bokans. If you would like to check out his visual arts, visit MooseCatesArt.Com.

Master Moose Cates, has humbly received the current title of soke (head of family) and vows to continue in the development of the style and to continue his father's legacy.
