Sensei Steve Gancherov
Sensei Steve Incorporated the character aspects of the martial arts, the highest level of physical technique, and years of study and physical training under direct masters of Shotokan Karate. In order to fully realize his goal as an instructor, he also wanted to complete his understanding of the art taking in the various philosophies and history. In order to do so, he extended his learning and also studied Aikido, Iaido and Shaolin Kung Fu, and through this has made his goal a reality.
Using history and various martial arts philosophies, Sensei Steve Gancherov created a seamless training program to fulfill his goal of creating a karate school that removes the senseless violence and needless egotism that has become commonplace in our society. He takes the focus of our natural competitive natures by changing them from an external focus to more of an inward focus, teaching students the drive of making oneself better in order to achieve their dreams and aspirations.
