Dave Joslin

Sensei Joslin is owner and Master Instructor of two of the most successful schools in Isshinryu karate. He began his training at an early age, while still in middle school he found out about classes being offered after school and enrolled. In 1973 he found the system of karate that offered all the benefits he sought. Master Joslin and his brother Ron began studying the art of Okinawan Karate under the then current Heavyweight Champion of Michigan, Master Bob White. Master Joslin has studied and taught Isshinryu Karate for over 29 years and has developed a long standing reputation for the highest standards in quality instruction.

On Nov. 5th 1977 he opened his 1st school with Master Martian Gatlin and his brother and has gone on to have a positive impact in his local community and in Isshinryu karate nation wide. He earned his black belt on Feb. 25th 1978 from Grandmaster Willie Adams. Master Joslin has won various championships in forms, sparring and traditional weapons forms, however, he is most proud of his achievements developing students. His students have awesome attitudes as well as superior levels of proficiency. He is the Director of the “West Coast Karate Classic” and the Sacramento Senior Olympics. Master Joslin is on the Executive Board of Karate International Association of Isshinryu, a national karate association. He was also awarded the highest honor of the American Okinawan Karate Association called, “The Spirit of Isshinryu Award” in 1999.
