Sensei Joseph Winn

I began training at the University Karate Center in 1996, just before entering middle school.  Using what I learned from my lessons, I was able to avoid any possibly violent altercations throughout my middle school years.  During these years, karate was my main activity, and I dedicated all the time I could spare.  My efforts were rewarded when, in 2000, I was awarded my Junior Black belt at the age of 15.  I was then attending Plantation High School , and only my closest friends new of my rank.  I graduated in 2003 as salutatorian of my class, and am now attending the University of Miami , double-majoring in Marine Science / Computer Science.  The most important thing I can say is that without the discipline learned through karate, I would not be where I am today.
