On August 27th, 20001,Linda Lee, the former head of the Bruce Lee Education Foundation in the United States and Mrs. Bruce Lee, presented Master Kimura with the Grade VII certificate of Fan Zhen Kung Fu (the first prize) on behalf of Bruce Lee. On the same day, Master Kimura finally exercised the right entrusted to him by his master, and awarded his chosen successor, his beloved son Andy Kimura, the Fan Zhen Kung Fu Level 5 certificate (first place).
Master Kimura now lives in a villa-style community with beautiful environment outside Seattle. Although he no longer runs a supermarket and officially retires home to enjoy family happiness, he still can't let go of the Zhen Fan martial arts entrusted to him by Master. So, just as he closed the Fan Zhenguo Shu Club in the basement of the original supermarket, with the help of his son, he personally founded a new Fan Zhenguo Shu Club in a wooden house in his back garden, and opened small classes three times a week to conduct public welfare teaching. However, because this club is located in the suburbs and relatively remote, the number of students is much less than that of the previous clubs, but Master Kimura enjoys it.
From 1960 to 2005, Kimura and his son Andy Kimura were in charge of the management of Fan Zhen Kung Fu Club. Now he is in charge of the Fan Zhen National Art School there.
