For his volunteer efforts, he earned the Distinguished Service Award from the American Society for Training and Development. Japanese Martial Arts Sensei Torres committed to the practice of karatedo (the way of the empty hand) when he was four years old in Mexico City at Casa Del Sol Dojo with Sensei Antonio Belmont and Sensei Juan Leonel Sierra in 1983. At the age of thirteen, Sensei Belmont recruited him as senpai, starting Torres’s career as an assistant instructor in all classes. He earned recognition in several tournaments, became a fourth-rank black belt in karatedo, became a second-rank black belt in iaido (the way of the sword), and continued to teach karatedo for the next twenty-five years. He has been recognized with the title Renshi (“polished expert”) by the International Seishinkai Karate Union, and is an active member of Dai Nippon Butoku Sai, the most prestigious organization in traditional Japanese martial arts, based in Kyoto, Japan. Sensei Torres has devoted his life to sharing the same gift that was given to him from his sensei—using karate to live with justice, camaraderie, respect, and honorability. In 2007, he opened a dojo in San Diego, where he enthusiastically shares his knowledge of karate and Japanese self-defense with students of all ages.
