Our Instructors.

Our instructors are the core of  JoSanLu.  Each JoSanLu instructor brings a unique set of skills and life experience to their karate and their training, but all of them embody the skills and values of JoSanLu.  All of our instructors have decades of experience and have trained with each other and with Hanshi Sana for years.  Many of their children and spouses were JoSanLu students, and some of them still are.   JoSanLu is truly a multi-generational family.
