Our school has graduated or advanced 20 (twenty!) different individuals as black belts in the 20 years it has served our community in Vancouver, WA and the Portland, OR, metro area. Many have moved, so we do not list them for privacy reasons.
Several of these instructors came from other arts (Tae Kwon Do, Brazilian JJ, Krav Maga, Aikido, Hakko-Ryu, Danzen Ryu, etc.) and brought additional breadth to our teaching.
