Meet The Team
Sensei Diaz
Sensei David Diaz began his journey with martial arts at the very tender age of 8 in Puerto Rico. After experimenting with several styles he came across traditional karate from Okinawa Japan and an extraordinary teacher Dr. Eduardo L. Gonzalez. It wasn't long before David’s hard work and dedication had paid off and he obtained his black belt. Today he is a 5th Degree black belt with a passion for teaching others the art of karate and the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. Through martial arts, he has been able not only to teach karate but to provide effective cardio classes for adults with maximum results.
Kohai Dasiah
My name is David Dasiah Diaz, ever since I was just a toddler I would watch my father, Sensei Diaz teach others and I would follow along. I officially started practicing karate at the age of 4 and became a junior black belt at the age of 10. Karate has helped mold me into a respectful, responsible young man. Karate is not just a sport it’s my lifestyle.
I love art, comics, movies, and music. In my spare time, I get creative through my drawings and body armor which I make out of recycled things I find at home and in the dojo.
