My name is Sensei Douglas Bates and I am a 1 st Degree Black Belt. I started my
martial arts training under the ACTIVSTARS program in 2009. I earned my Black
Belt in 2018 and began assisting/teaching as soon as I turned 16. I graduated high
school from Kapaun Mt. Carmel in May 2021 and I currently attend Coffeyville
Community College where I play football.
I love martial arts in my life because it helps me stay disciplined and walk with
confidence. This is what I want the kids to learn from karate, the feeling of
confidence in everything they do. I want them to know karate is not all about
punching and kicking, but also about learning the biometrics of what they are
doing.

"The best thing any young cheerleader can do to get ready for their school’s cheerleading tryouts."
"Big emphasis on teamwork and fun, which you don’t find in many programs. Thank you for being so inclusive."
