Stephen Moliterno was born and raised in New Rochelle, NY where he currently resides with his wife Michele, daughter Alyssa and son Robert.  The entire family is involved in the Martial Arts.  Michele is a student in Kihen Ryu JuJitsu.  Alyssa and Robert both train in Judo and all are under the watchful eye and constant training both in and out of the Dojo by not only Sensei, but by husband and father as well.  Stephen is the President and owner of M.J.S. Contracting Corp., General Contractors, which was established in 1987.
 
Stephen believes that the Martial Arts is not just a hobby, it is a way of life; physically, mentally, and spiritually in which we all train at everyday.  Stephen began his training in the Martial Arts in 1981 in USA GoJu Karate under Kyoshi William Grady and currently studies with Renshi Kevin Suggs. Stephen has trained in many arts since 1981; Karate, JuJitsu, Kung-Fu and Judo.  Currently, Stephen studies Traditional Okinawan Goju-Ryu Karate-Do with Roko-Dan Chris Graham and Olympic Style Judo with Roko-Dan Sauvuer Chris Soriano.  Stephen also has studied Traditional Kodokan Judo with the USTKJ.
 
Stephen is now Sempai of Kihen Ryu JuJitsu and oversees the New York Dojo for Kihen Ryu.  Stephen played a primary role side by side with the founder of Kihen Ryu JuJitsu, Sensei Nadeem Ansari.  Stephen is the key person and Uke (attacker) in validating, testing, and developing all of the fundamentals of the Kihen Ryu curriculum.
