Sensei Sonia M. Arroyo Ortiz, a 3rd Dan (December 7, 2019), has been training since 2001. GotanRyu has become a fundamental part of my existence, offering me opportunities to assist our students in their personal development, both within and beyond the dojo. My aim is to offer our students the highest quality instruction and to foster a feeling of self-assurance and pride. I refuse to use phrases like "I can't," as I hold the conviction that every student has the potential to achieve success with the proper support.
