Martial Arts Associations 
& Legitimacy
I had been training in Shotokan Karate for well over 20 years when I received an invitation to attend a small dojo in the suburbs of Vancouver, Canada. It was the early 1990 ’s and I had just returned from Japan, having trained at the world-renowned Honbu Dojo of Hirokazu Kanazawa. I had just moved to Vancouver following my banking career and was looking for a similarly high-quality dojo near my new home.
