O'Sensei presents Darryl with 5th degree black belt certificate.

Each class consists of warm-ups and training. We begin by warming and strengthening our bodies. Next we begin training. Our training consists of learning new techniques, practicing known techniques and applying both. To aid in learning we use a 6-step process. The 6-step process takes students from seeing a new technique to being confident in it's application. Creating good habits are the foundation for most learning. Our 6-step process leads to correct practicing and good habits leading to more efficient learning. Our process also helps those that are uncomfortable with physical contact.

Darryl Baleshiski began studying karate as a teenager earning his black belt in 1994. He was promoted to 5^th degree black belt and given the title Renshi (assistant instructor to the Grandmaster) while training with Grandmaster Eizo Shimabukuro in Okinawa. He has been teaching students from 4 yrs old to adult for over 10 years.

I understand that my students are unique and will progress differently. I work to determine my students current level of skill and physical ability and help them to improve to meet their individual goals.
