Instructor
Dean Petkovski
Dean has been training in karate since 2010 and values the way training constantly pushes him past his limits. He has represented the dojo at the 2023 Soke Cup and trained at the Sohonbu in 2024. Dean enjoys the supportive environment at TKI, where everyone pushes each other to improve, and credits karate with teaching him that what once seemed impossible can be achieved through persistence and effort. Dean has trained in karate for 16+ years.

Training Philosophy
My Favorite part about training is every time I push myself past my limits. There's everyone in the dojo helping each other along, and pushing everyone to train as hard as they can. When I was younger I would always say "It can't be done", but now I know it can.
