Mr. Sadat has been a dedicated student of the Dojo since he moved to Connecticut. He often will arrive early to work his Kata or Kobudo, in addition to teaching our Tiny Tigers and Kids Karae programs and training in his normal Adult Karate class. Sadat is a role model to our younger students and fellow karate-ka. He is always willing to help those in need and share knowledge or simply share a sweat together.
