Episode 95. Training Since Age Three, Twenty Years On
The conversation
About RJ Reisen.
RJ Reisen sat down for Kumite Lifestyle. That conversation is episode 95, “Training Since Age Three, Twenty Years On”.
RJ is an Isshinryu karateka who now lives in North Carolina. He started at about three years old at Scott Klinger's dojo and trained there until he was about 18, and he still looks to Master Klinger for guidance.
He says he started karate because, as a little kid, he thought knowing karate would let him go to the bathroom by himself. His mom and dad train too.
RJ and his father visited Nick's home dojo in Delaware back in the 2005 to 2008 timeframe, and he talks about a lifetime of training as a family.
