Sensei Brandon
Meet Sensei Brandon Noble:
Hello, world! I'm Sensei Brandon Noble, your go-to guy for all things martial arts and a bit of life wisdom on the side. I'm the lucky dad to three superhero kids: Brayden, Cameron, and Kayley. Oh, and let's not forget Elsa, our family's furball of energy and chaos. We're transplants from the sunny vibes of Sacramento, CA to the lush landscapes of Wake Forest, NC—a journey that's been as much about finding our new favorite pizza spot as it has been about making this beautiful state our home. It was a bit like trying to learn a new kata in the dark at first, but now we can't imagine being anywhere else!
The Origin Story: A Turtle-Inspired Journey
My tale kicks off in 1991, with a three-year-old me being absolutely mesmerized by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Yeah, I was that kid. I mean, who wouldn't want to be a part of their cool, pizza-loving crew? My parents, in a moment of brilliance (or desperation to channel my endless energy), decided martial arts might just be the thing. Little did we all know, they were setting the stage for my life's passion. After a bit of dojo shopping, we hit the jackpot with Liner’s Kenpo Karate, where Master Darryl Liner took me under his wing. While most sports said, "Come back when you're older," he welcomed me with open arms.
