 Sensei Joslins are the owners and Master Instructors of two of the most successful schools in Isshinryu karate. They began their training at an early age, while still in middle school they found out about classes being offered after school and enrolled. In 1973 they found the system of karate that offered all the benefits they sought. Ron and Dave Joslin began studying the art of Okinawan Karate under the then current Heavyweight Champion of Michigan, Master Bob White. Both Master Ron and Dave Joslin have studied and taught Isshinryu Karate for over 30 years and have developed a long standing reputation for the highest standards in quality instruction.
On Nov. 5th 1977 they opened their 1st school with Master Martian Gatlin and have gone on to have a positive impact in their local community and in Isshinryu karate nation wide. They earned their black belts on Feb. 25th 1978 from Grandmaster Willie Adams. Master Ron and Dave Joslin have won various championships in forms, sparring and traditional weapons forms, however, they are most proud of their achievements developing students. Their students have awesome attitudes as well as superior levels of proficiency.
Ron and Dave Joslin are on the Executive Board of Karate International Association of Isshinryu, a national karate association. They were also awarded the highest honor of the American Okinawan Karate Association called, “The Spirit of Isshinryu Award” in 1999. Their karate program has not gone unnoticed, receiving an award for being #1 rated martial arts school in the country in quality and service. Not once but for 5 consecutive years! The rating came from I.C.A.N. (a national martial arts consulting and tuition billing company based in Florida). Master Ron and Dave Joslin are a truly outstanding example of martial artists. |
