Reilly Griffin and Carson Stull recently participated in a karate tournament in Charlotte, NC.

Reilly competed in the intermediate 7-9 year old division and Carson in the intermediate 10-12 year old division. Both of them represented themselves, our dojo and Proehlific Park well - showing great sportsmanship, honor, spirit and respect.  

Their hard work in class has paid off. Within their respective divisions, Reilly was rewarded by placing first in the sparring competition and fifth in kata (forms) and Carson was rewarded with a first place in his sparring competition and a third in kata (forms) competition.  

Reilly was in this tournament last year as a beginner and didn't place in his competitions. This year he moved up a division and not only placed in his division, he won in his division!  He has matured a great deal to perform at this level. As for Carson, this was his first karate tournament and to place would be a great accomplishment, let alone win in his division. They both need to be recognized for their great accomplishments.

Mr. Patrick O’Brien Sr. and Mr. Patrick O’Brien Jr., began training together as white belts in November of 1999 at the Street Defense and Isshin-ryu Combat, Wolf Den Dojo in Detroit Michigan. It began as a great way to allow a father and son to connect and interact together, but evolved into a way of life for their family.

Under the guidance of Master Troy Anthony Chambers (Roku-dan), they trained in the art of Isshin-ryu Karate with Aiki-jujitsu and combat defense also being incorporated into their studies. After three double rank promotions, both achieved the rank of Ik-kyu (brown belt 3rd strip) in January of 2003.

Continuing their training, both were involved with instructing Karate classes for Master Chambers, with Patrick Sr. also teaching women’s rape prevention seminars as well as combat defense seminars that included hand to hand, gun, bat and knife defensive techniques. With Patrick Jr., still far too young to test for his black belt at 11 years old, they moved to North Carolina in 2006.

Leaving their Sensei and school behind, they had the great fortune of finding Sho-dan Mike Cohen of Texas Isshin-ryu Karate Ki to provide outstanding instruction and motivation. In November of 2009 Master Chambers traveled to North Carolina, training with and testing Patrick Sr and Jr. for a week. In the end, both had earned the rank of Sho-Dan.

Still guided by Master Chambers, they presently attend classes with Sensei Nick Cranford (Yon-dan) of Thomasville North Carolina.
