You already know that we here at Fang Shen Do are constantly improving our curriculum, the quality of our equipment, the professionalism in our schools, the student service, and the variety of events we offer our students.
The same is true with our School Owners.
We are constantly re-evaluating our team and holding them to high standards to make sure our students get the best training possible.
If those high standards of vision, loyalty, minimum hours on the mat, dedication, character, leadership, team spirit, personality, core values are not met, the Owner is replaced by a more suitable one.
This is why we're announcing that if you live in the Kanata area and are looking to start Fang Shen Do training or you're an existing one and you want to continue your advancement in the FSD system you'll be happy to know we have a new instructor coming your way.
His name is Mike Klassen.

His name is Mike Klassen.
Along with my older brother Sifu Stephane Patenaude (from the Orleans Mega Martial Art Center) they'll be taking over the FSD Kanata territory to continue spreading the art.
Mike has a long list of credentials when it comes to his martial art training and background.
Having lived in Japan for a big portion of his life and trained in Judo since the age of 8 under the tutelage of Sensei Sato (a 10 th dan Master), eventually receiving his black belt in 1998, his training and dedication paid off when he won the 1999 Heavyweight Judo Championships in Ontario.
That same year Mike was introduced to Fang Shen Do by Sifu Stephane Patenaude, Sifu Patrick, and Sifu Scott whom were all working at the Cabin (a local bar in Ottawa) as Bouncers.
He shares one story of watching Sifu Patrick who is not very imposing physically, handle a group of guys double his size using only kicking techniques. (As you know using kicks in a real confrontation is dangerous but it's the way he used his kicks to totally intimidate his larger patrons that needed to be escorted out that really impressed him).
Not long after, Mike was invited to a training and demo in Orleans given by Sifu Stephane and Sifu Patrick.
He was blown away by something he had never seen before: Aggressive Closing Techniques.
It was the kind of techniques he really needed, especially with him being a bouncer and even more so after working at one of the roughest clubs in Ottawa (the Factory).
He's personnally used FSD techniques on many occasions with a 100% success rate.
Mike also came in handy in 2003 to help prepare Sifu Patrick and Sifu Scott's Cage Fight in the now dismantled WECF (which grouped fighters from the IFC, UCC, and UGC, which have all regrouped under TKO).
With only 2 weeks preparation both Sifus won their matches and Sifu Scott, to the promoter's dismay, also beat the reigning heavyweight champion that night.
Since then Mike has trained in Richmond, Manotick, Orleans and Toronto.
A father of two, a successful real estate agent and now FSD Owner.
Mike is ready to share with you a world of experience, he has a big heart, is passionate about martial arts and can't wait to help you reach your goals.
If you'd like to get in touch with Mike or Sifu Stephane for classes and to book your free month pass go here.
