DENNIS L. HOARE 8th Dan Isshinryu Karate.
Dennis Hoare, born March 28, 1943 in Weehawken, New Jersey is a happily married
father of two sons and a grandfather five times to date. Began Isshinryu Karate
training in the Mercer Street Dojo in Jersey City in about 1963 under Sensei
Don Nagle. Went to the military from 1964 to 1966 stationed in Maryland with
the 523 Military Police. Trained in Goshin Do Karate Do for approximately four
years and returned to Isshinryu when Sensei Nagle moved his headquarters to
the Central Avenue Dojo. Assisted in running the Central Avenue Dojo from about
1980 until the death of Sensei Vince Manning, Sensei Nagle's second in command,
and then was in charge of running the Central Avenue Dojo. The school was officially
handed over to Sensei Hoare in about 1997 and is still operating today attempting
to carry on Sensei Nagle's teachings. I support everything that is Isshinryu
and welcome all Isshinryu practitioners to the dojo. I have tried to lead by
example as far as competing in tournaments and attending seminars and expanding
my knowledge base. I thank all of my instructors, students, friends, and family
that have helped me in my study of the martial arts.
