Sensei Harry, Head Instructor of Butokukan Canada Karate began his Martial Arts training in 1970 and has been a black belt for over 43 years. Butokukan Canada is an evolving martial arts system. As the senior ranking black belt he has been responsible for incorporating more wrist locks and pressure point techniques, and adding a number of new katas. Although he teaches all ages, Sensei Harry especially enjoys teaching children. Observing their development into strong young people with more self-confidence and knowledge skills that help them in their daily lives is what has kept Sensei Harry engaged and teaching all these years.
