Sensei Don Polevacik
who now resides in
After watching the performance
of Bassai Dai kata form by Sensei Don Polevacik and senior
student Loyd Rankin at the conclusion of my sons karate
class, I became inspired to attempt this beautiful and
powerful art form myself. But where to begin? No adult class
was being offered at the time and I wanted to learn along
with my son.
Not long after though,
Sensei announced he was starting an adult class and urged
some parents to enroll. Now was my chance to learn "empty
hand" To begin is always the biggest obstacle, but I was
determined to try my best. So with several other parents,
Sensei Polevasek introduced to us the skills he had learned
as a young man.
We immediately formed a
bond of beginning students starting together and with
Sensei's patient instruction the journey began. Many years
have past since that day and kajukempo karate has become a
permanent and extremely valuable part of my life. With
Sensei Polevacik guidance, I was able to achieve a goal I
never believed possible in those early days; the rank of
Shodan.
During the mid 1990's
Sensei Polevacik relocated to the Portland Oregan area and
has continued sharing the martial arts with students there.
But each time I start a training session or teach a class of
eager karate students, my Sensei's voice and inspiration is
still with me in a very real way. Thank you Sensei Don
Polevacik. Your grateful student, Sensei Jim Petitto
