Hello,

My name is Tanis and I am a Shodan or First Degree Black Belt in Matsubashi Shorin Ryu or Matsubayashi Ryu.

I started my karate training when I was 7 and I am now 14. I have been training in karate for seven years or half my life. I started my training at Richard Lohrding's Martial Arts School until its closure. I then followed one of Sensei Lohrding's instructors, Robert Huffman when he opened the Martial Arts Training Center in my hometown of Panama City, Florida.

One day I intend to open my own Karate Dojo. It will be Matsubashi Ryu Karate and I intend to call it the
Matsubashi Ryu Training Center.

Until then, I will design shirts and create art to help fund my Dream.

Karate-do may be referred to as the conflict within yourself, or a life-long marathon which can be won only through self-discipline, hard training, and your own creative efforts.
