Recently Shihan Vince had an amazing opportunity to be on a podcast tasking about the creation and development of Shindo Karate!
We are all super proud to be apart of Shindo, and he dives into how proud he is, story’s of the club’s development, and his most fond memories being apart of Shindo Karate’s growth!
I strongly encourage everyone to go have a watch!
