Senpai Martin Lachance

Senpai Martin is passionate about Kyokushin Karate, a martial art style that emphasizes close combat, mental and physical strength, discipline, and respect. He began practicing this martial art in 2012.

Since then, he has been continuously training and progressing through the ranks. He achieved his black belt in 2018 under the guidance of Sensei Marc Pronovost from the Matsushima organization, which is internationally recognized for its technical level and adherence to tradition.

He has participated in several competitions to push his development and test his abilities. As an instructor, he aims to pass on his passion and knowledge to the students of Shinka Karate dojo. He encourages them to push their limits, respect themselves, and have fun. He believes that Kyokushin Karate is more than just a sport; it is a life philosophy that helps us thrive and adapt to everyday challenges.

His goal is to help students progress in their practice and build their self-confidence. His motto is "OSU!", which means "persevere in the face of adversity."
