A few students of the Springwoods Park Dojo made the move and we had one new student! The space is great and we hope to start filling it up a bit!
If you’ve ever been wondering about martial arts or were thinking of maybe getting back into it…or even just investigating different styles…try this class! It’s free, fun and challenging.

White Rock Kenshin Kan News
October 11th, 2007 – White Rock Kenshin Kan
Karate & Kobudo Dojo is pleased to announce the promotion of one of it’s
students. Chris Carroll of Plano was promoted to 6th kyu green belt in Okinawan
Kobudo (weaponry), on September 9th, 2007. He received his certificate from
the federation headquarters in Okinawa on October 11th at White Rock Kenshin
Kan Karate Dojo. Chris demonstrated knowledge of basic techniques and kata
(forms) using the 6-foot bo (staff).
“The bo is the first defense weapon we learn.”
said Paul Wilson, head instructor of White Rock Kenshin Kan, “It is
a key tool to understand, since you can almost always find a stick. Understanding
the basic concepts of using a bo allows the student to understand ranges and
techniques that also apply to empty hand techniques in karate. To a degree
it replaces fear of a weapon with understanding, which is another key concept
in self defense.”
September 9th, 2007- White Rock Kenshin Kan
Karate & Kobudo Dojo is pleased to announce the promotion of one of it’s
students. Shawn Mahan of Garland was promoted to 8th kyu white belt, on September
9th, 2007. Shawn admirably demonstrated knowledge of basic techniques, protocol,
self-defense concepts and techniques and empty-hand kata(forms).
“There is more to karate than just the physical part.
Shawn has shown dedication to the school and a desire to continually improve
on what he has already learned. He’s not just trying to learn it all, right
now.” said Paul Wilson, head instructor of White Rock Kenshin Kan. “Shawn
also demonstrates a key factor in personal development of a martial artist.
He trains hard in the dojo(karate school) but knows that family and work come
before martial arts training.”
