Sempai Joshua Granger achieved Jr. Blackbelt status on March 4, 2017 after 5 years of study.

 

Josh first fell in love with karate at 5 years old.

 

United Karate Concepts performed during a vacation bible school at North Florida Baptist Church and it immediately grabbed his attention and he told his mom that she needed to sign him up.

​

Josh is currently homeschooled and in the 7th Grade.

 

When not in school or karate, he enjoys taking care of his many reptiles.

 

Josh says that karate has taught him life lessons; some of the most important being self-confidence, focus, leadership, and discipline.  He and his family believe these will carry through for the rest of his life.
