Meet Donnie

Donnie has been involved with bodywork his entire life: from martial arts, functional fitness, and physical rehabilitation with physical therapy. He holds a 5th degree black belt (godan) and is the head instructor of the Adaptive Karate Academy. Donnie worked in the physical therapy world for over 20 years with athletes for sports training, assisting with preventative education to avoid orthopedic injuries. Donnie feels right at home whether working with a Shotokan martial artist or a MMA fighter. He completed the comprehensive teacher training in Pilates from Balanced Body. This compliments his vast experience in martial arts, physical therapy, cross-training, and overall body fitness.

Donnie is an amazing instructor! He is very knowledgeable about karate and martial arts in general. He also understands body mechanics and injury prevention. My karate has improved since I have been training with him. I highly recommend his school.

My son participants is Donnie’s karate class. We appreciate the small class size and the positive environment of each class. Donnie has been a great role model for our son. Our son looks forward to each class and we are very thankful for the program.

Our grandkids love these classes. It has helped with their self confidence ,reflexes, hand eye coordination etc. Which has helped with other sports they play. The cost for classes is very reasonable compared to other things we have looked at. Sensei and other students are great.

My son has attended Adaptive Karate Academy for almost a year now. This has been one of the best decisions we have made for him! He looks forward to going to karate every week and it has helped him grow in multiple ways. I highly recommend Adaptive to anyone looking for a beneficial extracurricular for their child.
