Kurt Fairbank

Sensei Kurt began his career in martial arts at a young age.  He started out studying Kempo and was able to become proficient in the Bo staff and Nunchaku; while he worked to achieve a black belt.  Life circumstances caused him to interrupt training for years until he discovered a dojo in Plains, MT. Sensei Kurt then continued his journey in martial arts, this time studying Shorin Ryu under Sensei Jason Williams.

Sensei Kurt currently holds a Sandan in Matsumura Shorin Ryu and a Nidan in the White Crane. Kurt and his wife have since taken over ownership of Blue Heron Karate Academy in Thompson Falls, MT.
