Meet the Business Owner

Sifu Jose K.

Business Owner

Sifu Jose’s martial arts’ background is quite diverse. He began as a student of Shotokan at the age of 10 under the instruction of Reno Romales in The Bronx, New York. Mr. Romales taught Shotokan free of charge from the gym of a local public school. Jose continued his training until the age of 15; this is when he was diagnosed with a life long illness known as Factor II Deficiency. This an inherited form of hemophilia, the disorder that prevents blood from clotting. Therefore a simple injury could prove life threatening for Jose. At the age of 24 Jose decided that he would not allow Hemophilia to affect his quality of life. He returned to his martial arts training. A Shotokan school that had recently opened in his neighborhood, welcomed Jose with open arms and he eagerly began extensive training. One year later he began to compete in local and citywide tournaments. He won numerous awards and within two years won the New York State Championship for his age group.
