Join us this week on PKCC as we sit down with Sensei Ron Fagan. Sensei Ron Fagan began his martial arts career in 1973 when he attended a free trial class for karate and decided he was going to do this for the rest of his life. Sensei Fagan earned his Shodan from Sensei Masamai Tsuruoka in 1976, and became a member of the Nova Scotia Provincial Karate Team. In 1978 he won the Black Belt kumite division of the Maritime Karate Championships, and became the first Atlantic Canadian Karate-ka to compete at the Pan American Karate Championships. As a coach, in 1987, he led Team Nova Scotia to a national title. In 1997, Sensei Tsuruoka asked him to establish the National Tsuruoka Federation and was appointed its Chief Technical Advisor. Sensei Fagan has also developed and implemented various anti-bullying and Women’s Rape Awareness Training Programs, and in addition is known for his work with Community-Based Programs such as the “Kids Against Drugs” initiative and the “Victory Team Program”.
