I have learned patience and self-control. I do not seeing earning a black belt as a stopping point but just another step in my karate achievement. Yoshukai means the training hall of continuous improvement and development and I can always learn and develop new skills in Yoshukai Karate.

Karate has given me more self-confidence not only in the dojo but life in general. I feel privileged to train under the leadership of Dugan Sensei and the other black belts at the Yoshukai Karate Alliance. The have all been mentors to me in my karate and daily life.
