Sensei Dominick Mariano began his karate career while a Marine
overseas. He has trained in boxing, Judo, Tae Kwon Do, Aikido and
grappling. He began his study of Isshinryu karate in 1988 while living in
New Jersey where he studied under Shihan Marvin
Carmona. After six years he earned his black belt from Shihan Carmona. He then moved to Massachusetts where
he continued studying Isshinryu karate under Sensei Dana Zeidler, a fifth degree black belt at the
time.
After receiving his second-degree black
belt from Sensei Zeidler he earned his teaching
certificate which is certified by Master Angi Uezu. Master Uezu
is the President of the Okinawa Isshinryu Karate and Kobudo
Association which is based in Okinawa, Japan. This certificate
afforded Mr. Mariano the title of "Sensei". In 2009, Sensei
Mariano was promoted to sixth degree black belt by Sensei Zeidler.
When Sensei Zeidler moved to Florida, Sensei
Mariano began training at USA Karate, a dojo in Northborough where he was
also an instructor. After four years of teaching in this dojo, Sensei
Mariano became the sole owner and instructor renaming the dojo Dominick's
Isshinryu Family Karate Center.
Sensei Mariano teaches self defense for Algonquin High School, grades 9 -
12.
Sensei Mariano's school is family oriented with classes attended by
children and parents. He teaches a traditional martial art, where his philosophy is "Serious training for the
serious student".
