Mark J. Toth,
U.S.A. Kobudo Club Dojo-cho
GWNBF-KJJR Instructor
Mark Toth has been studying the classical martial arts of Japan and China for 18 years. His original interest was somewhat academic: after extensive formal study of Catholic theology (earning a Master of Divinity, and Baccalaureate and Licentiate canonical degrees in Sacred Theology), he wanted to explore certain Eastern philosophical systems that integrated body, mind, and spirit. His search for a place to begin this investigation led him to a dojo for traditional Japanese martial arts. After almost a decade of training, Mr. Toth became a GWNBF-KJJR instructor. Shortly thereafter, in 2003, Grandmaster (Soke) Shoto Tanemura awarded him the title dojo-cho, or "school director," giving him permission to open his own school.
