Sensei Lori McPeek

Sensei Lori McPeek began her karate training in Okinawan Shorin-Ryu Karate under Hanshi Frank Grant at his school on Troy Street in Dayton, Ohio when she was fifteen years old. Lori started training in karate for a variety of reasons including self-defense and physical fitness. Lori earned her black belt in 1976.
