Bonne fete Renshi!
🎂 Happy Birthday, Renshi Vincent! 🇯🇵
You are more than an ally to the dojo, you are a friend, a samurai brother and someone our students trust, respect, and look up to.
Your dedication, consistency, and incredible attention to detail are truly remarkable. You have been by my side since the transition to Vanguard, and your support has played an important part in our journey and success.
I’m grateful to have you standing beside me and proud to have you as part of the Vanguard family.
Wishing you an amazing birthday, Renshi Vincent. Thank you for everything you bring to the dojo. This success is ours.
Merci pour tout! Profites de ton temps au Japon.

Bon matin a tous et surtout bonne semaine!
Behind every warrior is a mentor who has walked the path of discipline. Meet Shihan Chris and Renshi Vincent : the heart of the mats here at Vanguard. 🥋⚔️
Highly devoted and fully bilingual, these two are dedicated to one mission: your success. Ces deux instructeurs sont dévoués et bilingues, prêts à vous mener vers la réussite. Whether you are navigating your first class or testing for your next rank, they are in your corner with the grit and wisdom needed to pull out your best.
Take a close look at the Kanji on their belts. That represents Budo Ryu : the lineage of Soke Panneton. It is a rare honor to wear this belt, a symbol of tradition that bridges the gap between historical discipline and modern reality based application. It is not just a rank; it is a legacy of protection.
At Vanguard, we believe real resilience is earned through sweat, focus, and authentic lineage. Training with mentors like Chris and Vincent ensures you are building the character of a protector. 🛡️
Earned. Never given.
