Our History:
CNY Okinawan Karate & Kobudo School owner Marvin Labbatte has trained for over 57 years. His journey began when he was just 10 years old and that passion led him to his dream of opening his own martial arts school. Marvin dropped out of college and worked odd jobs in order to follow his dream. In 1985, he bought CNY Okinawan Karate & Kobudo School from its original owner. Throughout his time as owner, the academy relocated multiple times to accommodate its growth in popularity. Today, Marvin continues to live out his passion and strives to inspire his students to do the same.
