May 29, 2001. EYHKC webmaster and student Gordon Nore has hosted many demonstrations at public schools where he's taught After-Four Karate. This demo was very special because it was at Grenoble Public School in North York, where he served as a student teacher during his final practicum placement from York University. During his placement, he volunteered to teach a free, after-school Karate program at Grenoble. Mr Nore was assisted by his son Tucker and Mr Aldo Barovier, a teacher at Grenoble and a blue belt in Tae Kwon Do. You can click the smaller images to view larger ones.
