Tim began training at the Shinjinbukan Vancouver dojo in 1997 after
ten years of training in Japanese karate. In 1996, while running his own
karate dojo in Burnaby,
British Columbia, Tim and I met at
an Aikido demonstration at
the University
of
British Columbia. We spoke
at length about karate and I invited Tim to come and visit the
Shinjinbukan dojo. Several months later, Tim visited the Shinjinbukan
dojo in Vancouver. He did not
return to the dojo until 1997, when he relinquished control of his own dojo,
turning it over to a senior student. Tim left his dojo and the
association he was a member of to begin learning Okinawa Shorinryu and
Okinawa Ti. Tim trained and ran classes at the Shinjinbukan Vancouver
dojo from 1997 until 2003. Tim and I visited the Hombu dojo, in
Naha
city in 2001, along with and two other senior students, where he
received his Nidan directly from Onaga
Yoshimitsu Dai Sensei.
Tim received the rank of 3rd Dan from me, with permission from Onaga sensei, in
2003 and currently trains in a small dojo in his home in
Victoria,
BC.
