Instructor: Patrice Samuel Robinson, 2nd Dan

President / Owner
Patrice Samuel Robinson ( APat@ for short) was born July 4^th, 1968 in London, Ontario, Canada. As a child, Pat was involved in Wrestling and Boxing from the ages of 10 to about 16 years old. He began his Martial Arts training in 1984. He was originally introduced to Bushido-Kai Karate by a friend of the family and then later went on to study other Martial Art systems such as Aikido, Shotokan Karate, Shuri-Te Karate and Ju-Jitsu. Pat began his Kenpo Training in around 1987 in an offshoot system of Ed Parker=s American Kenpo Karate, called Tracy=s Kenpo under the guidance of Master Ralph Chinnick (“Professional Self-Defense Academy@) and later went on to join and study with AKenpo Karate Canada@ / AWorld Kanzen Kenpo Federation@ in 1991. It was here that Pat would begin studying another offshoot of Ed Parker=s American Kenpo Karate called Kanzen Kenpo under the guidance of Mr. Jason E. Arnold (4TH Degree Black Belt). During these few years from 1991 to 1997, Pat had the opportunity of also training in the Ed Parker=s American Kenpo Karate System. On August 27^th, 1997 Pat received his 1^ST Degree Black Belt in Kenpo Karate from Mr. Jason Arnold and Mr. Derek Morrison (3RD Degree Black Belt) of who assisted in instructing him in Ed Parker American Kenpo Karate System in around 1996. It should be noted that Mr. Robinson is the only Certified Black Belt and Instructor under Jason E. Arnold to date. During this time Mr. Robinson joined the Worldwide Kenpo Karate Association, which is headed by Master Joe Palanzo (10TH Degree Black Belt / Senior Master) in October of 1997.

With his accumulated knowledge and experience, Mr. Robinson created APhoenix Fighting Arts And Concepts@ in September of 1997 and then opened his first commercial school / dojo on November 1^st, 1997 in London, Ontario, Canada. In early 1998 Mr. Robinson left the AWorldwide Kenpo Karate Association@ because of political reasons at that time. In the summer of 1998 Mr. Robinson had the honor of Testing for his 2^ND Degree Black Belt at APhoenix Fighting Arts and Concepts@ in front of Mr. Jason E. Arnold, Mr. Derek Morrison and world renowned Kenpo Master, Mr. Frank Trejo Jr. (10TH Degree Black Belt and personal student of the late great Edmund Kealoha Parker, Founder and Senior Grand Master of American Kenpo Karate). Mr. Robinson has had the opportunity of traveling to Pasadena, California, U.S.A. to be instructed out of Mr. Frank Trejo Jr.=s home and while in California he has had the privilege of training at the Ed Parker Kenpo Karate School / Dojo in Pasadena, which is still owned and operated by the Parker family and at Mr. Larry Tatum’s (10TH Degree Black Belt / Senior Master) School / Dogo also. Mr. Robinson has had the privilege of meeting and being in many technical advisories with other well known Kenpo Masters and Representatives such as Mrs. Leilani Parker (wife of the late great Edmund Kealoha Parker), Mr. Ed Parker Jr. (son of the late great Edmund Kealoha Parker), Mr. Richard @Huk@ Planas (10TH Degree Black Belt / Senior Master), Mr. Tony Cogliandro, Miss. Doreen Cogliandro and Mr. Steve Arsenault to name a few. Since 1994 he has also cross-trained off and on in Brazilian Ju-Jitsu under Brandon Sigethy and Jeet Kune Do under Paul Irish.

On the tournament circuit, Mr. Robinson has been a competitor, champion, referee and judge. As an Instructor Mr. Robinson has taught literally hundreds of individuals and has raised money for the Battered Women Advocacy Centre.

Mr. Robinson=s educational background includes attending H.B. Beal Technical Institute (Art Major), Fanshawe College (Early Childhood Education) and Westervelt College (Law Enforcement). He has also been a supervisor at the Woodstock Day Nursery in Woodstock, Ontario and has served as a volunteer at Victoria Hospital (London, Health Sciences Centre) in the Out Patient Department and the Child Life Department.

To take a quick glance at him, you would think that he was just an average street fighter, but do not be fooled by his appearance before you bear witness to his ability. Mr. Robinson is an exceptional Martial Arts Practitioner who is noted for his speed, accuracy, devastating power and vast knowledge of what truly works on today=s street environment. Train with him and you=ll see.

On a more personal level, Pat enjoys horror and sci-fi movies, reading, writing, drawing, dancing, music, drumming, and animals and has a great love for children.

There have been many obstacles throughout my life and there have been many great people to help me along the way. To these individuals, I wish good fortune and good will to them all. They are forever in my prayers. I will do my best to use the teachings of the Martial Arts as a vehicle to help those who are in need of guidance and also to help build the character of those around me for the betterment of our community.
