Ottawa’s Tanya Lemaire and her husband Shane Hale fight fiercely and get rewarded for it.

After all, they’re award-winning Isshinryu karate experts, both recent recipients of International American Okinawan Karate Association distinctions. Lemaire, a Shodan,  earned the “Outstanding Black Belt – Female” plaque, while Hale, a Nidan, took the honour for the males.

    
While their fighting spirit is evident in the karate dojo, the Canadian couple gets along quite well behind the scenes.
