David Oddy has been practicing karate for over 24 years including 3 years in Okinawa, Japan where he trained directly with Miyazato Eiichi Sensei and other senior students at The Jundokan, Okinawa Goju-ryu’s main dojo. He has also had the opportunity to train with many senior teachers and coaches over the years, both in the United States and in Japan. David remains a member of The Jundokan So Honbu Dojo and continues to visit on an annual basis for personal instruction in Okinawa, Japan.

In addition to many local and regional tournament wins, David has won five US National Championships from the US Olympic Committee’s recognized governing body for the sport of karate, two since returning to competition in 2006. He represented the United States at the 1989 Goodwill Games against the Japanese Junior Team and on the 1994 US National Karate Team at the World Championships in Malaysia. David maintains a strong relationship with active team members and coaches, allowing for unique training opportunities for our students.

David has also coached three other athletes to national championship victories and has taught karate at a Syracuse University karate club.

Jundokan instructors are encouraged not to "eat from karate" by earning their livelihood through other professions. This removes business distractions and profit influence from the training experience of their students. David is a software developer and business consultant.
