I am a 3rd Dan in Shorinjiryu Kenryukan Karate. I have been instructing Karate, Cardio karate and self defense classes since 1996. I am also experienced with students with special needs. I currently instruct students with physical, learning and neurological disabilities.

In my karate dojo, my students and I ,regularly compete in karate tournaments in which the students demonstrate form and weapons skills as well as Shiai (full contact fighting)
