North Bay sensei to compete on global stage
The owner and head sensei at Gateway Martial Arts is heading to the World Karate Championship in Spain this October.
Adam Arbiter has been named to Team Canada after winning bronze in the 35+ men’s kata division at the National Championship.
He competed in Ottawa on May 14.
“Earning a spot on Team Canada is an incredible honour,” he says. “To come in third place among the best competitors in the country and know that all the years of training, discipline, and sacrifice paid off is something I’m extremely proud of. I’m excited for the opportunity to represent both Canada and the North Bay community on the world stage.”
Arbiter says qualifying for Team Canada marks a major milestone not only in his personal journey, but also for the students and families who train alongside him in North Bay.
