My training story begins like this:
Leigh Mueller started training martial arts in Brockville, Ontario, Canada in 1985 (age 4). Being taught by his father, Bob Mueller, along with his instructors. At the time our Dojo was called Bob Mueller Martial Arts Academy and we were one of the top affiliates of 0’Sensei Richard Kim, we trained Shotokan karate. Later Mueller’s moved out west to Vancouver island (Victoria) this is where Bob Mueller was from and started taking lesson’s in 1975 under (Leigh’s Godfather, Sensei Jim MacDonald of Batsons Karate). Bob Mueller had teamed up with forward thinker Harold Warden and Canadian top rank fighter from the 1970’s Wallly Solkie and started Super Kids Karate, a martial system focusing the self-development of children through martial arts.
