Meet Kenny
Karate has been a constant thread throughout Kenny’s international life. Having lived in Australia, Shanghai, and Hawaii, he understands the value of connecting across languages and cultures.
His competitive achievements include a national championship title in Japan in 1997 and Australian national championship titles in 1999 and 2001. He holds 7th dan in both Shorin-ryu and Shito-ryu.
Today, Kenny brings these experiences to his work in Okinawa, helping visitors build a deeper connection with karate and its birthplace.
