Teacher: Simon Boukorras
Simon started karate at the age of 5 and a half in France. He moved through the levels one by one until receiving his black belt at the age of 16, among the youngest in France. Simon participated in, and won, many titles in competition.
Following his move to Canada, he took part in the creation of Yakushin Centre in downtown Montreal.
Simon continually yearns to learn more about martial arts. He is currently taking lessons to receive his black belt in Taekwondo and d'Hapkido in January 2009. He has recently received his NCCP (National Coaching Certification Program) certificate, technical and practical.
Karate is his passion and he conveys that to his audience with authority and humour. Believing in the importance of physical activity in the psychosocial development of young people, Simon volunteers his time for workshops in elementary schools and day camps.
