A local black belt has been teaching jiu-jitsu all over the world.
Just this year, Master Phillip Yang has been requested to teach in Norway, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, Sweden and the United States.
Earlier this month Yang represented Canada and taught at the World Martial Arts Convention in New York.
Yang just opened up his own martial arts & fitness centre in Quispamsis.
He says his goal is to build a sense of community at the center.
The Yamaji Dojo Martial Arts & Fitness Center is located on Millennium Drive and already has a couple hundred students.
Yang says the facility offers classes in fitness, kick boxing, yoga and more.
He is an 8th degree black belt and has over 38 years of martial arts experience.
