SENSEI WAYNE MARTIN
Sensei Wayne Martin began his Karate career in 1992 purely by impulse. He was signing up his daughters with Kancho Okuyama (IKA), and thought that since he was going to have to wait for them, he might as well join too. Sensei Wayne continued to train with Kancho Okuyama grading to the rank of Sandan in 2001. In 2004, when Sensei Wayne moved to Oakville, he began to train in Milton with Sensei James Burke at the Milton Tsuruoka Dojo. In January 2008, O-Sensei Tsuruoka awarded Sensei Martin with his Yondan. In January 2009 Sensei Wayne Martin began his training in Kodubo. He also joined Shikomu Karate Club to train with Shihan Kal Helppi.

SENSEI ANGELO NOTO CAMPANELLA
Sensei Angelo Campanella began training on June 22, 1985 with Sensei Martin Hunter of Miyabi Dojo in Hamilton. He trained consistently for 16 years, during which time he achieved his Nidan level Black Belt in 1995, sanctioned by Kancho Hirokazu Kanazawa and Kancho Kenzo Dozono of the SKIF (Shotokan Karate International Federation). He was involved in instructing children's and adult classes since 1989, and also participated in tournaments sanctioned by Karate Ontario and the SKIF, by judging, refereeing, and competing. Sensei Campanella also attended numerous seminars with Kancho Hirokazu Kanazawa and Kancho Kenzo Dozono. He has also taken the National Coaching Certificate Program Courses up to Level 3 in 1994. While doing some personal research on Shotokan Karate Do, he found the Shikomu Karate Club. After reading the profiles, the clubs affiliations and looking at the pictures of the students, he found a place with the quality and philosophy of Shotokan Karate Do. It has been 10 years since he last put on his gi, and now feels it's time for him to rekindle his love for Shotokan Karate Do at the Shikomu Karate Club with Shihan Kal Helppi and the other members.
