Sensei Lisa is a partner in SDSS Regent Square and she has trained and performed at the Shaolin Temple on numerous occasions. Steve Nakamura, Chief Instructor PA State Director A love of martial arts changed Sensei Steve’s life when he retired the business suits and neckties of corporate America to open the first SDSS in Pennsylvania. Sensei Steve is also the PA State Director, overseeing new and existing dojos for SDSS. Sensei Steve trains directly with Grandmaster DeMasco and accompanies the grandmaster to China on a yearly basis to train and perform at the Shaolin Temple. “I am very fortunate for this opportunity to make a difference in peoples’ lives,” Sensei Steve explains. “I am so proud of all my students and instructors and I am thankful for their loyalty to me and our organization.”
