Renshi Penn and Shihan Pukish
In 2004 Renshi John Penn opened Satori of Whitehouse in Toledo, Ohio. Renshi Penn, a very experienced Shuri Ryu Karate and Shinto Yoshin Jiu Jitsu practitioner joined forces with Satori International to expand his martial arts programs and services by opening a full time facility.
Renshi Penn had previously operated a martial arts program out of the YMCA for a period of 10 years before deciding to pursue his love of the martial arts full time. He now operates a number of satellite locations as a means of providing a much needed service to the community. |

Women's Seminars in Ohio
Shihan Pukish and Renshi Penn recently hosted a women's Fight Back course at the Satori Whitehouse location.
The Satori Fight Back Course is a three-hour workshop designed to introduce and familiarize each participant with the basic skills necessary to defend oneself in a life threatening situation. The Satori Fight Back Course does not require the participant to have prior experience or an advanced level of athletic ability. The techniques and strategies taught in the class are easy to learn and effective. Through repetition, women in this empowering class become confident and proficient with the basic skills of self defense.
The physical portion of the class is balance out with short lectures on threat assessment, the psychology of an attacker and other areas of safety. There is time set aside for questions and open discussion between each training session. |
Satori Whitehouse |
Both Kevin Kent and John Penn continue to train with Shihan Pukish as they continue to develop their programs, curriculums and martial arts skills, drawing from the principles of teaching and training that has developed the outstanding reputation associated with the Satori name.
It is an honor to be associated with Sensei Kent, Renshi Penn, and all of their hard working, talented students.
Satori International is not concerned with expanding for the sake of numbers, but will always be looking to align itself with quality martial arts Instructors and students. Both of these fine gentlemen have established dojos that exemplify the level of professionalism and ethics, matched with the enthusiasm and drive that makes Satori Martial Arts Centers so unique. |
