It has been a good start to 2018 with the first black belt class held by I.G.K. Victoria with John Ross Shihan, Chief Instructor of Victoria.

A special thanks to Kevin Webb Shihan (I.G.K. Purdue University USA) for being present and giving us an insight to his philosophical approach of Goju when in combat.

Kevin Webb Shihan started training at the North Balwyn Goju Kai honbu dojo when he was 17 years old.

When he moved to the United States many years ago as a professor of electrical and computer engineering, he created the Purdue Karate Club, principally so he’d have people to train with.

Kevin Webb Shihan is a 5th Dan Black Belt (Shihan) and a professor of Electrical Engineering at Purdue. He has served as the club’s master instructor for over fifteen years. Originally from Australia, he trained under Tino Ceberano, Kancho (9th Dan), who is a direct student of Gōju Kai karate founder Gōgen Yamaguchi (1909–1989).
