Meet the Sensei's
Sensei Paul Cooper
I have been studying karate since 1987, starting in Chito-Ryu with Sensei Jeff McLaughlin and Sensei Griffin. I had the privilege to train with Sensei David Aukutagawa and Master Mabuni. I am proud to be training under Kyoshi Tanzadeh and to have the opportunity to be the technical director for Shito-Ryu, Nova Scotia.

Sensei Harikrishnan R
I started my karate training in 1995 when I was 10 with Shihan Mitty, and attained Nidan in Shorin Ryu karate. Later, I changed my style to Shito Ryu and started training with Shihan O N Raju (6th Dan) and received Yondan in Shito Ryu Karate in 2022. I have also achieved Shodan in Okinawan Kobudo from Hanshi K P Ravindran (9th Dan). I was the technical advisor and Senior Instructor for Mabuni Shito Ryu Karate International – ( Kottayam, India ). I moved to Canada in 2022 and joined Windsor Karate club. I am looking forward to continuing my journey in karate with Shito Ryu Karate Nova Scotia as an instructor.

Sensei Dave Perry
I have been a student of karate since 1992. Under the instruction of Sensei David Griffin of the Windsor Karate Club, I have practiced several styles of karate including Chito-Ryu, Renshikan and Shito-Ryu. I successfully passed the sandan (3rd degree black belt) examination in 2022. I am Vice-President of the Windsor Karate Parents Association. I look forward to working with students at all levels, helping with their development and learning from each other.

Sensei Maaike Niet
I started my martial arts journey studying Goju-Ryu Karate with Sensei Frank Clayton in B.C. in 1993 and attained the rank of 1st Kyu. I also studied Goju-Ryu for a year with Sensei Nicholson on Vancouver Island in 2001. With a break for raising three kids, I returned to karate and have been a dedicated student of Shito-Ryu, studying with Sensei Dave Griffin and Kyoshi Tanzadeh since 2010. I have been awarded the senior kata athlete for N.S. and am currently a N.S. provincial kata coach and provincially certified official. I am a 4th kyu in Aikido and have studied with Sensei Andrew Haight since 2019. I have been the treasurer of the Windsor Karate Association for the past 6 years.

Sensei Lorraine Lazier
My karate training began in 1983 at Mt. Allison University, where I attained 1st kyu in Shotokan. I provided instruction to beginners at a high school in Kenya for 6 months in 1987/8. I then trained in Goju ryu at McMaster University and Shotokan at Dalhousie University. I took a lengthy hiatus from karate while juggling family and a career as a child and adolescent psychiatrist. However, I kept active through swimming, kickboxing and kayaking until I found WKC and joined the Shitoryu family, attaining nidan in 2022. I aspire to bring my enthusiasm for learning and my appreciation of brain-body-mind connections to classes, as both student and instructor.

Sensei Maddie Hollet
I started taking Karate in 2008 when I was just six years old and became a black belt in 2018. Windsor is my home dojo and I also trained at Hants shore dojo for a few years. I competed at the 2017 and 2018 Canadian nationals. I volunteer at the KNS tournaments, and I have coached my teammates and students for many years. I have earned around 100 competition medals and trophies was for Athlete of the Year and Kata Athlete of the Year. I have worked very hard to earn all my medals, but they don’t mean as much to me as the memories and self discipline that will be with me forever. Since I was little, I have always wanted to be a sensei and pass on the knowledge to others.

Shodan -Shito-Ryu Karate
Sempei Carter Noakes
I started training in karate when I was five years old at Young’s Uechi-ryu Karate. I trained consistently and earned my purple belt. I excelled in kata and wanted to go further in my training, so Sensei Young sent me to train at the Windsor Karate Club with Sensei Griffin. I have been training in Shito-ryu since September 2019 and achieved 1st kyu in January 2022. As a strong kata athlete, I have placed consistently in the top, at many tournaments.
