Ryu Renshi-Dan KarateInstructor
Shihan David Weiss has been involved in martial arts training for over 25 years. Holding a rank of 6th Dan in RR-D, he began his training in Kyokushin Karate under the tutelage of Sensei's Hioki and Lala and has dedicated over 2 decades of study with Kyoshi Guzman at the Honbu Dojo. His dedication to the art of classical Karate-do combined with his training in Judo and Jujitsu has provided him with a holistic approach to martial arts.  Shihan Weiss, one of RR-D's senior ranking black belts, is the chief instructor of the Kanku Dojo which opened in October 2002.

"Kanku" means "to view the sky". This dojo was founded in Pawling in 2002. Shihan David Weiss began teaching classes at the local YMCA and then moved to the current location. Over the years Kanku Dojo has grown into a large family of students and friends.

We are a proud affiliate of the Ryu Renshi-Dan Karate System. Our students are trained to develop their control and dedication in the dojo, and then apply these skills to all aspects of their life.



The instructor is Sensei Chris Dammann.  He has been training since 1977. He began training at the age of 7 in American Folkstyle Wrestling and the art of Shotokan Karate-Do. He continued both through high school. Upon entering college he began formal study in the Japanese Goju-Ryu Karate-Do system and continued to wrestle.  Goju-Ryu would be the art he dedicated all of his time to throughout college.  He would re-visit Shotokan and take on new arts in the years to follow. He now is a high school science teacher, varsity wrestling coach and holds advanced Black Belt degrees in multiple Japanese/Okinawan karate systems.   Being a school teacher by trade, Sensei Dammann wanted to have an academic approach to his Karate training. He wanted knowledge on all concepts of Japanese/Okinawan Karate.  One art would not be enough for him. He felt that a mastery of multiple arts (different although similiar) would offer him a true understanding of Karate. This led him to various instructors and styles throughout the country.
