| Sensei Jim Robertson, a 2nd degree black belt, has been the dojo’s primary instructor for youth classes since July 2016. After having Sensei Jim assist him with teaching classes for the previous 6 years, Shihan Page decided it was time to retire, after 27 years, as the primary instructor. The dojo, and all that came with it, fell to the responsibility of Sensei Jim. Assisting young karateka find their voice, grow their self-confidence, and progress in their skill of this martial art, has been an absolute pleasure. |
