Personal:
My son Jeremy started with International Karate at Meadow View Elementary under Shihan Jay Fredrick in August of 2002. After a few months of watching the kids train and spending a lot of time at the dojo, I joined in February of 2003. I started karate not only to learn self-defense, but for the physical fitness of the sport. Since joining, I have found so many more reasons to continue training and to continue improving myself.

I earned my 3rd Degree Black Belt in September 2008 and began instructing in June 2005. I am very proud to be a member of the International Karate family and have the highest respect for Sensei Nichols and all the members of this great federation.
