(5th Degree Black Belt)

Yoshukai Karate continues to provide a very valuable, positive influence that flows into many aspects of my daily life. I regularly see where Sensei Dugan’s emphasis on attitude has benefited me in both personal and professional relationships. The patience, confidence and perseverance developed through the years of training are my greatest reward.

Yoshukai is a lifestyle, not an exercise program; it becomes a part of you. Once a karateka, always a karateka. Training seriously means training and being your best both inside and out outside of the dojo.

Mr. Lanning – Sandan

I chose Yoshukai Karate because it is a traditional Japanese hard-style of martial arts. I enjoy the workouts and the study of traditional Japanese weaponry. Sensei Dugan is a great instructor that teaches this style of martial art because of his passion and belief in Yoshukai Karate.

Through the mutual respect among the karateka I’ve gained respect for others and myself. What puts Yoshukai Alliance above the other styles for me is that it’s more than a school of karate, but a school of moral principles, and a family to it’s students.

As I came home from the stresses of my job, I had to learn how to re-focus my attention on my karate and let the tension of the workday go. This has been extremely helpful to me over the last 3 years and has been very good to my mental state.

Yoshukai Karate has been a great experience, and has helped me get over some fears, and increased my self-confidence.
