The senseis of Zanchin
A family of black belts
Seven black belts, led by a 7th Dan. Every class is taught by someone who knows your child's name.

Our story
Zanchin is a family dojo. The Sosa family runs it alongside Kyoshi Luis Sanchez, 7th Dan, out of Bay 9 in Hialeah.
Parents, sons and brothers teach on the same mat. So the rules are the rules of a home: you arrive, you bow, you give your best and you help the person behind you. On paper we're Mizuchi Martial Arts, LLC. On the mat we're Zanchin.
Who teaches you
A Dan rank measures years of training and tests in front of masters. The gold stripes on each belt below show the Dan.

Kata
Kata, by Sensei Adrian Sosa
A kata is a fight against imaginary opponents, every step in its place. Shito-Ryu has one of the largest kata collections in karate, and at Zanchin you learn them one at a time, belt by belt.
