Joselito Dimacali, Chief Instructor at the House of Samurai, he grew up in the projects of Honolulu, Hawaii. In order to prevent him from mingling with trouble, his mother pushed him towards Karate starting at the age of five. He came under the instruction of Soke Kiyohisa Hirano with Japan International Karate Center and discovered the passion for the art up to this very day. He was instructed in what Karate truly was, and found it to be hard work, a lot of effort, but very rewarding.
"Champions are not born, they are made by hard work, sacrifice, dedication and the support from their family, friends and instructor." -Jose Dimacali-
