  Master  Jay Doster began his training under Hanshi Arnold R. Sandubrae in May  of 1984.  Sandubrae Hanshi described Doster Sensei as "one of his best  and most loyal students."  "As a Sensei it is an Honor and Privilege to  teach all of our students.  We respect and love them all.  We also  recognize that over the years through dedication, hard work,  determination and loyalty certain students distinguish themselves as  true leaders of a Dojo.  These students go the extra mile and never ask  for special recognition.  Hanshi Sandubrae considered Doster Sensei one of these students.  He  was admired and loved by all at American Okinawan Karate Academy and  Most Of All By his Sensei and Friend, Hanshi Arnold R. Sandubrae!"

 - Aaron R. Sandubrae, Shihan
