Mojo Dojo Karate’s James Henry Has Taken the Family Business to New Heights
Tam Junction hub has been teaching the Beikoku Wado-ryu form of the "peaceful martial art" to hundreds of students for a decade.
James Henry’s lifelong dedication to the martial art of karate has its origins in a youthful, friendly sibling rivalry.
The founder and Shihan – aka grandmaster – of Mojo Dojo Karate in Tam Junction recalls taking karate classes as many as six days a week in high school, but having a difficult time with the basics. He remembers hearing a woman in the class calling him “a hopeless case,” a verbal blow that led him to quit karate – until he realized his brother, four years younger, was going to stay with it.
“I couldn’t let him get ahead of me, so I got right back in there,” he says with a laugh.
