NORTH LOUISIANA ISSHINRYU holds its LAST CLASS FOREVER with rank promotions and awards. Congratulations to everyone for their hard training and success. Special Thank you to former instructors Molly Winkler and Mandy Rudd for attending this ceremonial event.
North Louisiana Isshinryu began its influence in Winn Parish in 1991, with Sensei Mark Rudd as founder and head instructor under the name of Winn Isshinryu Karate. In 1994 Sensei Mark Rudd moved to Alabama where he still lives and operates Andalusia Isshinryu karate school. Sensei Rudd passed the keys of Winn Isshinryu Karate to his brother Donald who has continued to teach in Winnfield up to the present time. The name changed to North Louisiana Isshinryu around the turn of the century. To all the thousands of students who have trained with us and to all the black belts and parents who have invested into our program, THANK YOU.
With North Louisiana Isshinryu officially CLOSED I can’t say “see you in the dojo” anymore but I can say and pray for God to bless each of you.
