DAVID J. PETERSMARCK
FOUNDER AND HEAD INSTRUCTOR
DAI SHIHAN
To me, the martial arts has been a lifelong journey of discovery, and eventually, a responsibility to share what I had been fortunate enough to learn.
I still consider myself a student of the art. I enjoy the questions, the exploration, and the moments when something that seemed difficult suddenly begins to make sense. That is what I hope to share with the people who train at the Shuhari dojo.
LANCE ELCHLEPP
SHIDOSHI (8th Degree Blackbelt)
The martial arts is deeply personal to me. With over 35 years of training, I have seen what the Bujinkan can offer students and society, and that shapes the way I teach.
My approach emphasizes physical training, practical application, situational awareness, and helping students build a lifelong foundation for growth.
KARL GARSHA
3rd Degree Blackbelt
I am a 15 year veteran of the Bujinkan and I am passionate about sharing the art. I focus on technical precision, movement, and I hope I help students develop confidence, discipline, and resilience in and out of the dojo.
