Episode 88. Isshinryu, the Marine Corps & Brotherhood
The conversation
About Phil Ebersole.
Phil Ebersole sat down for Kumite Lifestyle. That conversation is episode 88, “Isshinryu, the Marine Corps & Brotherhood”.
Phil joined from Lebanon, Pennsylvania. He started Isshinryu karate in June 1996 under Master John Devine, and he and Nick have competed together at many tournaments over the years.
His instructor and Nick's instructor have known each other for many years through the Okinawan karate community, so their dojos have long been connected.
Phil talks about why a dojo is more than a dojo, it's a community, and about doing everything right.
“I started in 1996 here”
