Kiran has been training in Martial Arts for 17 years.  His introduction into the Martial Arts world was at the age of 4 where he began training in the children's Aikido classes at Golden Triangle Aiki Shuren Dojo under Chief Instructor Stefan Barton, a Godan (5th Dan) under the Aikikai Foundation in Toyko.

 

At the age of 6 Kiran began his study of Kenpo Karate at Kick N FX Family Martial Arts under Sensei Steve Chaput, a 6th Degree Black Belt with the World Martial Arts Organization.  Here Kiran participated in numerous Shaia's (tournaments), and gained experience with a variety of different martial arts weapons, his favourite being the Nunchaku. At 11 years old he became a student helper, and discovered that his favourite part of Karate was being able to teach it to others.  In December of 2010 Kiran began his year long probation as a Junior Black Belt and Sempai, and on November 28, 2011 at the age of 14 was presented with his Junior Black Belt.

 

In 2012 Kiran was introduced to the more traditional style of Gōjū-ryū at Triple Arts Academy, and was generously given an opportunity to teach and a year later, in October 2013, to open the Bright location under the lead of Miss Madelaine and Sensei Arnold.  At Triple Arts Academy's Bright location, he continues to share the benefits of Martial Arts to children in his own community. 

 

Kiran's journey in Martial Arts has taught him that success comes from hard work, sacrifice and dedication.
